This 1954 Holden FJ Special is a freshly restored, show-grade example of one of Australia’s most beloved postwar classics. Presented in its original Glamour Red over a retrimmed red interior, this FJ benefits from a ground-up rotisserie restoration completed in recent years and is now offered in excellent overall condition. The odometer currently displays 47,609 miles*.

Owned by the previous custodian for 30 years, the car was last registered in 2004 before being placed in dry workshop storage. In 2020, the car underwent a comprehensive rotisserie restoration. The mechanical package features a Holden grey motor with upgraded internal components, along with a reconditioned gearbox, differential, and driveline.

The body has been refinished in its rare and original shade of Glamour Red, while the interior has been professionally retrimmed to factory specifications to a show-level standard. Sympathetic upgrades have been made to improve usability, including a 12-volt electrical conversion, modern indicator system, two-speed electric windscreen wipers, and a set of extractors.

The wheels show no kerb rash, and the chrome trim presents with some light patina in line with the car’s vintage, lending a tasteful sense of authenticity to the otherwise fully restored aesthetic. This example represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly original and beautifully restored FJ that blends period charm with modern convenience.
