1970 HOLDEN HT PREMIER - FUNERAL COACH

A fitting blend of Australian automotive culture & heritage together with modern performance, this 1970 Holden HT Premier Funeral Coach has multiple purpose.

Originally built by W.D. Hadley in 1970, this coach has been upgraded to serve as a distinctive showpiece with the business function of a funeral hire car, that can generate a very handsome return.

Driveline:

Under the bonnet lies a freshly built 383 cubic-inch stroked Chevrolet V8 engine, set up for ease of turn key use, power and reliability. This powerhouse is paired with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission, ensuring worry free gear changes. The power is delivered to the rear wheels through a 9-inch limited-slip differential (LSD), providing enhanced strength if required.

Every component of the driveline, from front to back, has been fully rebuilt to ensure turn key operation.

Suspension:

The suspension system has undergone a comprehensive overhaul, featuring upgraded components including all bushes, steering components, springs and Koni shocks that enhance ride comfort and handling.

Complementing this is a fully rebuilt braking system, to provide confident stopping power, ensuring safety and control under all modern driving conditions.

Interior:

Inside, this coach retains its beautiful original HT Premier Twilight Blue interior, exuding a sense of classic elegance. The original dashboard, radio and gauges are in remarkable condition.

To enhance comfort for both driver and passengers, a brand-new air conditioning system has been installed, ensuring a cool and pleasant environment regardless of the weather—a feature that keeps everyone, dead or alive, comfortably chilled out.

Exterior:

The exterior is finished in the stunning factory Holden Warrigal Black paintwork, a hue that accentuates the vehicle’s stately presence. The body, originally modified by WD Hadley, showcases a beautiful conversion that seamlessly blends functional design with the classic Holden HT aesthetics dripping with chrome accents.

The attention to detail in the bodywork highlights the craftsmanship and care invested in preserving this unique vehicle’s heritage.

Opportunity:

This Holden HT Premier Hearse is not just a showpiece; it is fully equipped and ready to serve as a ‘special order’ hire car.

Its unique appeal has already garnered significant interest from funeral service companies who have offered high dollar rates, for 2 hours work at a time.

A promising opportunity for those looking to offer distinctive transportation services.

Alternatively, it stands as a remarkable addition to any classic car collection, sure to draw admiration at shows and events.

In essence, this 1970 Holden HT Premier Funeral Coach embodies a fusion of classic Australian design with modern driving enhancements.

Whether destined for commercial use or as a personal treasure, it offers a slice of Aussie Culture.
