Thanks to all for the great comments & response to my set of 4 EH Holdens. Thanks to Fletch & Donna for the hard work getting this episode together.

As a Blue side enthuiast I've got to admit the Holden's in the early sixities were way superior to Ford's then Falcon. Jason 4 EH's are lovely and tastefully done. A credit to him and has family.

Wow and wow, that is amazing . Great to see enthusiasts with niche passions and prepared to share. Thank you for the research and recording this history Fletch.

Beautiful collection mate 👍👍🇬🇧

Thanks Fletch. Thanks Jason. These are all Beautiful cars. I so love the colour matching. WOW.

Another 'Fab Four' from that wonderful decade 👍 Thanks Jason and Fletch. And thanks also for explaining that red 179 and blue 202 matter which had me confused until you did 🤔 I really hope Jason can track down his Dad's car.🤞

Love all the stainless and chrome. Beautiful.

Have been looking fwd to this. Thanks Fletch - great episode

Your farther would be proud as punch mate, what a awesome four , I’ve watched this three times just to see all the detail wow 🤩

How brilliant. Magic to see classics like that. With quality like that, if I need a new Kitchen, know where I'll go.

Absolutely my favourite Holden model by far. To have these would be a dream

Another top episode Fletch....

Very cool, very Australian 👌

What an awesome set. Eh is the best looking Holden ever made imo. What a dream to own even one eh

Hi.. all I can say is down rite beautiful, absolutely amazing,

Brilliant, lucky bastard

The eh panel van is so awesome

What a collection of EH s When I was 18 I had a station wagon chocky brown with a white roof Had it just over a year while I built my first house 179 3 on the tree it was a magic car and I loved driving it 😍😍👍👍

Superb set of EH cars, never seen a ute or panelvan with the mouldings down the side

Beautiful beautiful beautiful

Great to see all these cars in this condition.

Love Holden and will always have them in my Garage. Hats off to Jason and it’s a credit to him and his family in keeping these EH HOLDEN’s alive and running. It’s blokes like Jason and other Holden enthusiasts who will always ignore the soulless EV and SUV markets and it’s soulless approach to motoring.

I particularly like the panel van it’s absolutely gorgeous as are they all . I would absolutely love a van like that it’s really lovely. And What a beautiful collection well done and congratulations my good man 👍

Absolutely marvelous! 🇦🇺 Thanks to everyone involved in this video 👍

Great set of vehicles. Beautiful restorations. I was born in 1962. The EH has always been my favourite GMH sedan and the ute shape just seems to work.

Great episode ! Thanks for sharing your story Holden Legend!

My dad back in the day had the fifth matching car to this set. An EJ sedan in this colour ways.

I'm beyond words as an former HR owner. Absolutely gorgeous.

Sensational collection… they just need a decent paint correction to really make them shine!!

Thank you Jason West. Your effort and respect for history has brought you and your family joy but also all the rest of us who love Holdens and cars in general. You're a bloody legend mate. I sense your obsession with the EJ and share it. You are not alone brother.

My Grandfather had a EH Panel Van 3 speed Column shift. We went Bush in it to collect Seeds. It would go where there were no roads through long grass luckily without hitting a stump. Slide next to Creek Beds on normal tyres. I see many 4WD videos struggling to go where we went in his Grey EH.

Yes I have seen EH’s go places 2wd vehicles shouldn’t really go ... Don’t know what it is about them but something very special ... And I am a Ford guy ... Thanks Fletch Great episode

My Dad had a EH wagon to go to work and back. Remember taking it for a drive when Mum and Dad were away. I was well under age to drive, but geez I had a ball, loved the three on the tree. Till Dad worked out somebody had put extra miles (back in the day) on it! Solid car!

I clicked the "Like" button on this because the EH is part my childhood with great memories. Dads EH hit 105 mph once one route to a fire, it was a hell of a car. I cannot understand why anyone would replace a red motor with a blue motor! The blue motor was crap made up of left over red motor parts. The 179 was a great donk, the 186 and the 202 were no slouches either. I notice he the Hydromatic badge on everything even with a ToJo box in them. I wonder how many know that the Hydromatic box in the EH was technically a four speed.

Never seen a EH panel van before, cheers.

Nice set, nasco products too.

My first car was a one family, 3 owner EH Premier. I bought it on my 18 birthday in 1980. It came with the original 179HP, but was fitted with a 4 speed Toyota Corona gearbox, extractors, K-MAC suspension & chrome dragway mags. It had the tiniest bit of rust in a couple of doors but that was it! I still have the original rego plates on my work van. Fantastic first car!👍🏼😎

We had an EJ Holden station wagon beautiful lady. They got up to a respectable speed, the auto used to hum a bit, which I quite enjoyed

Part of history.

Amazing collection.

I only watched a few minutes but thought "magnificent". The big tragedy is the company that created these gems doesn't exist anymore 😪

Wow to have a set like this beautiful. Been looking for the right color timber for my pickup and just found it . Thanks Fletch and Donna Adrian & Sue

Bloody brilliant !!!!

Amazing. My first car was a secondhand Red EH panel van 😎😎

Just absolutely awesome

Fantastic

Nice set of cars. 👍👍

Great memories!

Awesome fletch

As a Ford man, all I can say is WOW!!!!

Awesome

Oh Fletch, Those personalized number plates, you are too much. You really did well at distracting us with this truly historic set of beautiful classic cars.

FJ,FE,FC,FB,EK and EJ were the 6 models before the EH with a panel van in the range. I had a EH van 30 years ago that was stolen by Belgrave Hire in Geelong. It was a shell that had been restored with new sills and all the parts inside with an LH front end to go in it for a V8 conversion. Had a Premier wagon that had a warm 6 and Aussie 4 speed as a daily as well. They were going to be built as a matching pair until the van was stolen. 18 months later, I was told about a notice in the Geelong Advertiser about a van shell that Belgrave had for sale. It was mine, the sills had been cut out, all the panels were gone along with the front end and suspension. They had basically cut out what they wanted and wrecked the whole car in order to not get caught with the stolen body because all the ID plates and stampings had also been removed or cut out. And if Belgrave want to deny it, good luck.

g'day Feltch. I used to watch your show on Bris 31

WOW!!!

Saw'em @ Cooly Rocks!

Pre-metric speedometers. That's a stand-out feature.

All four have Hydra-matic badges. but only the sedan is actually a Hydra. my wagon has always been a auto, but longer a Trimatic than a Hydra-matic. wanna go back to the way it was

Another entertaining and informative show. Fletch if you ever get in USA again you should do a show on the GM futureliber. One number 10 is restored in the NATMUS museum in auburn Indiana or if you want footage and do it over phone maybe could help u set it up.

Wrong color red for a EH engine. They used the far darker red, as did HDs. And that timber floor in the van,, your mattress will slide everywhere!! I too have had the set, all Eden Blue but over about a 10 year period, the sedan and wagon were that color originally, the ute and van were painted that color. Sedan was quite a nice original one, wagon cost me $50 in the late 70s. genuine mid 18 sec runner the following day! Both Hydramatic. Ute and van were quite presentable built from roughies, the van I paid $50 for also. Both manuals. ute got a big block 186 and an all sychro gearbox. Tooling?? Small block Chev, Ford Windsor, Vobble Vagen, BMC A & B series etc.

Amazing cars. Interestingly all of the cars have hydramatic badge on the rear but but the ute, van and wagon are manual. The wagon is the more common column shift manual, van and ute Toyota 5 speed.

Another great episode, Mr. Fletch. I wonder how long it would take me to get used to manually shifting a transmission like y'all down there after all the years of shifting one the proper way here in the States?

Having grown up in the sixties, having parents who owned Holden's I think of the EH as 1964. We had an EJ wagon, 1963. HD was 1965 and HR 1966.

Who made the custom stainless steel moulds on the Ute and panel van.. down the sides Carl mills ?

If only I knew thee things were going to be worth a few Bob down the track I would have put one or two of my EH’s away the first one I had was back in 1974 as a 19 year old and if you wanted performance and didn’t have the $$ to buy a Monaro or GT Falcon you had to make do with what you had and do some mods so I hotted up the first one, a sedan, with the 179 engine so a 149 head and twin 1&3/4 SU’s on a speco Thomas inlet manifold, a mild cam and extractors with a lightened flywheel and I couldn’t afford a 4 or a 5 speed so I bought an Impala straight line shift and lowered with K-Mac stabiliser bars, tramp rods and widies, it was a good performer, better than I expected anyway the 2nd was an EH premier but I got rid of it for peanuts like an idiot as I could not live with its crappy Hydramatic auto transmission as it was woeful, it wouldn’t pull a sailor off your sister but it would be a different story these days with a smorgasbord of transmissions available! And the last one I had was in 1980 a station wagon 179 manual, a country car from Wangaratta here in Vic and served a good straight car and I drove it for years until I parked it up at my brothers property where it languished in the open for about a decade where I gave it away for parts as they really were worth nothing and you couldn’t sell them, no one wanted them it’s only the last twenty years and the demise of Holden that they are worth some serious money.

179 CUBIC INCHES DOESN'T SEEM LIKE MUCH, BUT MY WIFES 2016 NX 200T LEXUS HAS ONLY 125 CUBIC INCHES. SO I GUESS THAT'S NOT TOO BAD THEN.
