[79]
got a bit of a hurry along there but
[81]
let's jump into today's feature car
[82]
which is a 1968 HK Holden premier the
[86]
engine is a 307 cubic in Chevrolet v8
[89]
gearbox is a power glide to speed column
[92]
shifted auto and I'm going to tell you
[94]
all about the cars backstory which is
[96]
probably good for another few minutes
[98]
I'm thinking so it was bought by the
[100]
current owner great-grandfather in 1968
[104]
and served as the family car for 26
[106]
years the car was then passed down a
[109]
generation to the current owners
[111]
grandfather a person by the name of T
[113]
Atkins of which there is a street named
[115]
after them do not confuse T Atkins Road
[118]
with D Atkins Road otherwise your peeps
[120]
is going to go to the wrong house now I
[123]
don't like those two rows things take a
[125]
bit of a turn because the car finds
[127]
itself in long-term storage
[129]
at a family friend's house for about 20
[132]
years so they're at sat until September
[135]
2014 the family friend then busts the
[138]
old girl out after overhauling the
[140]
brakes for a reunion with the
[142]
grandmother of the current owner on the
[145]
occasion of the 90th birthday how sweet
[148]
I mean sweet because that's very
[150]
thoughtful and it's totally sweet so it
[152]
was during this reunion that the now
[154]
current owner are the family friends
[157]
that if they ever were to decide to sell
[159]
the car that it go to them and
[162]
wonderfully several months later that is
[164]
exactly what happened now what I would
[167]
like to know is if the current owner is
[169]
still living in that country town or
[170]
they are living a lot closer that you
[172]
switch or Brisbane and I mean it's just
[175]
too far to come for a car show they even
[177]
for me mind you I went to that car show
[179]
from Japan so I guess I got the
[181]
long-distance award
[182]
anyway let's check it out interior yep a
[185]
bit of a crack - I see it has an
[188]
energy-absorbing horn button you know so
[191]
I guess your head but it and it's like
[192]
having children they're just sort of
[194]
sucks all the energy out of you I've
[195]
know I love my kids totally oh I think
[197]
it has front disc brakes and says so on
[200]
the pedal there I think it's safe to say
[202]
the owner is all about keeping this as
[204]
original as possible which is admirable
[206]
and aside from a few things I can supply
[208]
under the hood I'm thinking it's pretty
[211]
much stock well it's super grungy that
[214]
that's the way ahaha now something I can
[217]
only speculate comes from another car is
[219]
a front left guard I'm thinking some
[221]
badges were relocated and you know it's
[223]
just a different shade of gold but hey
[226]
it's close enough okay everyone thank
[229]
you so much for watching it but the
[231]
biggest things has to go to Tony tio and
[233]
