We are chatting with Ross today about his tragedy after the loss of his 1979 HZ Holden Kingswood with a 308 V8 engine, GTS Dash and other special option features.
So to Start from the begin, In 1979 Ross placed an order to the Holden Factory to have a HZ Holden Kingswood in Atlantis Blue Paint, 308 V8 Engine, GTS dash and more. He had to wait six month for the vehicle to be produced until he could get it delivered and he has had this vehicle very since. The HZ Holden was he's pride n joy and used it for just about everything and it very once gave him problems. He used to do all his own servicing of the Kingswood and also kept immaculate as you see by the pictures in the video. He has owned other Holden during his time, but the Kingswood was his favourite. Ross would not even let the kids drive this vehicle ever, because he never wanted to have any damage.
So how did Ross get into this position that he's in. Ross was visiting his Son's house and stayed the night. So one broke into his garage, with a spare battery and stolen the HZ Holden. Ross was featured in a News awhile back regarding the theft as well. The Police management to find the car about 5 days after the fact in Menzies Creek area, however, it was not good news. The Thieves burnt the interior of the Kingswood that left this vehicle severely damaged.
The HZ Holden Kingswood was very much unsured for the valve of the vehicle. PLEASE NOTE: Check the Amount your vehicle is worth and make sure you are not caught out as well.
Now this has destroyed Ross and this Car was the love of his Life. He has been clearly heartbroken by this loss. However, the Melbourne Car Community has started to rally around Ross, thanks to his son Alf who has been trying to gain support from business to help him. He has been quite successful but they still need support.
One awesome helping point was the Bole Family, who their Father has a HZ Holden Kingswood that was the same year and the same colour, but it had a 6 cylinder engine instead. They give Alf the first right to refusal over the car, which they greatly accepted. They have great support from the business listed below but as you can image the cost of restoring these classic cars is quite expensive when looking for a GTS Dash, labour, engine rebuilding and more. Any assistance that individual can make will be greatly appreciated by Ross and the Family.
The plan is to have the car restored and running by Christmas for Ross to be reunited with his pride n joy. Ross' Family has set up a Go Fund Me Page called Restore It For Ross, so if you can give, please do. Once again, huge thanks from Alf and Ross to all the Business that supported them so far and all that may support them in the future as well.
Thanks to the Following Businesses that are Supporting Ross, these are:
*Splatt Engineering
*M&G Motors
*Dandy Engines
*PPG paints
*Rare Spares
*American Graffiti Restorations

This has become a country full of guttless thieving cowards...and the law and politicians could not give a rats arse...!!! im so sad for this old man...our grandads house was cleaned out while he was in hospital...The Victoria Police wasted weeks of time..found the culprit and let him off the hook scott free... and we are thousands of dollars down in lost property. the thief even cleaned out the garage and took the work benches ..What is it..not enough police funding or the government not giving a shit for the elderly !

Well done to all the caring people who are helping out , there are plenty of good people in society, especially car people, unfortunately lawlessness is allowed to flourish, there needs to be proper consequences for wrongdoing, by these feral bastards . Ive got my father's old VH Valiant that he bought in 1980 , if that went missing Id be absolutely devastated, so I can imagine how Ross felt .🙂👍from NZ.

Sorry that he had his prize n pride car taken to be burnt out like that ,, fucking bastards do that ,, why not just park it up and get out and walk away instead of fucking it with fire, hope people find out who did this and destroy them , unreal options from factory, my dad had hx kingswood wagon blue white roof, with gts black dash, L34 308 2.78 lsd and 4 speed manual , factory order, in those days customised cars was a thing that Holden would do , then GM instructed Holden to do as GM wanted , sell what GM wanted us to sell and over short period from 2005 onwards Holden sold some very crappy GM cars and it Killed Holden , commodore and Colorado were the good cars , opel, astra vectra barina good for short time but drove very well indeed, epica viva captiva and barina traxx junk pure junk, Hz was the last of Holden finest model ranges ever HQ to HZ, then the VN booted Holden back to the front and remained for years this way , I worked for Holden for 10 years and seen the cracks appearing from 2006 ,, yeap billion dollar baby was a hard sell unless you wanted v8 you didn't buy commodore anymore, true facts , the v8 didn't kill Holden, not having a V8 did kill Holden, anyway keep us updated on the rebuilding of this 1 owner HZ with high specifications factory orders, its a special car or was , and will be once more

Hey mate, thank you for the awesome comments and I with you that they get found out. It is massive shame that Holden ended up this way and now we have no Holden, Ford or Chrysler Aussie Cars any more. Just loads of overseas models. If I was rich, I would love to have an Australian Car again, dream big and see what happens
