Dear Sir
Could you please verify if the EJ Holden ever came off the assembly line with a “red 149 or 179 motor” as standard.
Thanks Greg Hodgins
Greg,
No it did not, the EJ was the last model with the ‘grey’ engine, the 149 & 179 were introduced with the EH in late 1963.
Hi Greg, I read somewhere towards the end of the EJ run they ran out of GREY motors and the last few were fitted with RED motors as gmh already had them for the EH, ??? Bob.
Hello,
Just found out that my EJ was the 20,085th built. Wondering which month that would have been?And how close that was the the 1,000,000th? What number EJ was the millionth?
