This genuine late-model Holden HZ GTS presents an great opportunity to acquire a matching numbers example of Holden's final full-sized V8-powered GTS performance sedan, finished in the highly desirable Atlantis Blue Metallic with factory Black Tartan trim.

One of Holden's most distinctive late-1970s colour combinations, the Atlantis Blue exterior perfectly complements the HZ's sharp styling and sporting character, while the iconic Black vinyl interior with Tartan seat inserts captures the era's unmistakable performance theme. Having had just three owners from new, the car retains a strong sense of authenticity and provenance.

Factory optioned with Holden's sought-after L31 5.0-litre 308ci V8 engine, M21 four-speed manual transmission, GV4 Salisbury limited-slip differential and four-wheel disc brakes, this HZ GTS offers the specification collectors seek. The matching numbers L31 V8 and M21 gearbox have both been rebuilt, providing strong, reliable performance while retaining the car's original character.

Further enhancing the driving experience are factory power steering and air conditioning, making this GTS equally suited to car shows, weekend touring or regular enjoyment. The proven Holden RTS suspension philosophy, combined with the factory disc brake package and muscular V8 torque delivery, creates a rewarding and confidence-inspiring Australian grand touring sedan.

Externally, the Atlantis Blue Metallic paintwork presents well with minor stone chips and blemishes, showcasing the HZ's distinctive front-end styling, colour-coded sports grille, quad headlamps and crisp body lines. Brightwork and exterior trim complement the presentation, while the car sits proudly on widened 15-inch GTS wheels.

Inside, the Black Tartan interior remains one of the HZ GTS's most desirable features, providing a striking contrast to the Atlantis Blue exterior. The cabin retains the hallmark GTS instrumentation, centre console and sporting appointments that helped establish the HZ GTS as one of Holden's most refined performance sedans of the era.

The Holden HZ GTS represented the final evolution of Holden's original GTS sedan lineage and remains one of the last true Australian V8 muscle sedans of the 1970s. Genuine matching numbers manual examples finished in desirable factory colour combinations such as Atlantis Blue continue to attract strong collector attention.
Nicely presented and highly specified from new, this genuine matching numbers HZ GTS offers an exceptional opportunity to secure an increasingly sought-after piece of Holden performance history.
