HX (1976 to 1977)

In the 2026 Australian market, the Holden HX (produced 1976–1977) occupies a unique niche as the "emissions era" classic, often sought by those who love the bold HQ-style body but appreciate the minor cabin refinements like the integrated steering column stalks. Market values for the HX have seen a steady climb; a tidy, roadworthy Kingswood sedan typically fetches between $32,000 and $55,000 AUD, while the luxury-trimmed Premier variants—especially those with factory V8s—command between $65,000 and $98,000 AUD. At the top of the range, the HX LE Coupe (the last of the original two-door bodies) is a high-liquidity investment piece, with verified examples now trading between $140,000 and $210,000 AUD, while genuine HX Sandman panel vans in "hero" colours like Papaya or Jasmine Yellow can reach upwards of $165,000 AUD. The desirability of the HX remains strong due to its iconic 70s aesthetic and the fact that many buyers now "correct" the ADR27A performance lag with modern tuning or period-correct engine upgrades. This has cultivated a robust buyer pool of Gen X and Millennial enthusiasts who value the "lifestyle" aspect of the Sandman and Monaro GTS badges, as well as collectors looking for more attainable entry points into the full-size Holden market compared to the skyrocketing HQ and HK prices. Locally, liquidity is highest for vehicles with matching-numbers V8s and original "Buckskin" or "Gazelle" vinyl interiors, as 2026 buyers prioritise documented authenticity and rust-free chassis over the modified street machines of previous decades.
