This 1962 Holden EJ Special is said to be solid rust-free example that runs and drives well. Few other details are given however, and no mention is made of how it got to Texas in the first place. Holden of course is GM’s Australian subsidiary, and the EJ was its mid-sized saloon in 1962-63. This one appears to be in great shape, and could be a great buy for a nostalgic Aussie ex-pat, a GM fan wanting something different, or an oddball collector who’s already done the JDM and Eastern Bloc routes. Find it here on eBay in Pilot Point, Texas.

According to the seller, the EJ is a solid rust free car with good glass all around. The condition does appear to be excellent, though photos are no replacement for a personal inspection. The styling appears almost Trans-Atlantic as seen on Rootes or Opel product from the era, though describing it as Trans-Pacific would probably be more accurate. The side mirrors and sun visor are cool details, and the small fog lamps work well.

No details are given about the interior, though based on the photographs it looks to be in very good condition. The dash appears to be crack free, while the seats are free of obvious rips or tears. Otherwise, the look is clean, simple, and conventional. While right-hand drive may be a challenge for some, the automatic transmission and decent visibility should make the learning curve quick and easy.

Other than stating that the car runs and drives well, the seller gives no details about the car’s mechanicals. The EJ is powered by a straight-6 Holden “grey motor” that dates back to the late 1940s and was based on a Buick engine, while the automatic transmission has 3-speeds. Hopefully knowledgeable BAT readers can comment on parts interchangeability or lack thereof with American GM cars, and given some details on driving impressions.

There can’t be too many early 60s Holdens motoring about the USA, so this could be the car for anyone who’s ever wanted one. It’s also almost guaranteed to garner a lot of attention at any GM show, though Camero owners may not appreciate it when you steal their crowds.
