Summary

[edit]
Description

The EH Holden was built from August 1963-Feb 1965. Although visually just a facelift on the EJ, the roofline was revised and front and tail end treatment. The big news was, the introduction of the new updated Red motor, not only increased capacity, but many improvements as well; hydraulic valve lifters, 7 main bearings instead of the old greys 4. That good, this motor stayed in service until 1985. Engine; 149 or 179 red 6 cyls Sedan; Standard, Special, Premier Wagon; Standard, Special or Premier also Utility and Panel Van

With a win at Bathurst in mind, in Sept 1963, a performance version was built, the S4, 126 were made. Only 11 are accounted for today. There was no visual difference from the outside, unless you looked underneath for the larger 12 gal drop tank. They also got the 179 engine with upgraded 3 speed manual gearbox and power brakes (all other 179 cars were autos), also Heavy duty suspension, hardened gears, metal lined brake shoes and a larger tail shaft.
