About Custom Holdens
Since Street Machine was founded in 1981, we’ve featured over 1500 customised Holdens from the very first 1948 FX to the final VFII Commodore.
These include some of the most iconic builds in history, starting with pioneering cars like John Zeigler’s HJ ute and the infamous Invader 2001 panel van, through to game-changers such as Rex Webster’s FJ and Ron Barclay’s HQ ute.
We also always kept track of the fastest Holden street cars throughout the ages, from the early days of Geoff Paton’s King Rat A9X, through to modern-day legends such as Quentin Feast’s multiple Drag Challenge-winning Torana.
And while Holden has stopped making new cars, car builders from Australia, New Zealand and beyond keep finding new ways to modify them – and we’ll do our best to bring you the latest and greatest examples each year.
