Which pre 1978 Monaro coupe ?

[waxdass]

Confused with which of the old school monaro coupes would be the better buy and why?
Look for the GTS models or not?

Never paid attention to the history of each.

HK gts all the way!

HK gts all the way!

In dark metallic blue with the 327 and manual - yummy.

Probably the HG 350 would be more collectable though.

HG, HG , HG

If you wanted a newer one the HQ is the next best shape.

I will be a happy man the day I have a Hk gts yellow with the black stripes parked in my garage!

depends on ya budget, the HG - HK etc are the more collectable/desirable at the moment, HQ/Z/X aren't as valueable yet.

also, the GTS HG or HK ( can't remember which ) also came with a 186 6 cylinder so check numbers when looking.

cheers gents, just curious and im pretty bored at work. Wont be buying anything soon.

The HK GTS Yellow is pretty porn tho.

[Miggy]

HQ-HJ are the hottest imo!

[SEXUAL TYRANNOSAURUS]

HK with a big block...

[disc0-dan]

HJ, the cheapest and rarest. There was fewer than any other model built, invest for the future.

[Lump]

hq is the best looker imo

Bzzt

Only raced versions HK-G were HK327 and HT350....HG was never raced...hence the HGGTS and all the way to HQ and on only got 220-240Hp smog engines. HT 350 was 300Hp HC.

My pick would be a HK327 in blue.....but I own a HT with a 3fiddy(used to be a 186s ..paid $800 for it when I was 16 !)

Mine will eventually end up 4 link rear, full chassis, jag front end and brake and LS7 !! love to cut the floor pan totally out of the car and start again but were do you stop ! I drove it around for 10 years(1st car) and fuck it was a death trap with ~380hp 350chev 9 inch on clamped leaf springs and HQ brakes....world of there own in terms of chassis and supension tech !


Fuck yeah !

This guy knows how to party..

If it's not over 400ci it can gtfo.

HK is the most collectable at the moment which also means its the most expensive. The reason is they have the best racing history and that is what makes collectability.

IMO they are the best looking also.

hk-hg is my dream car, hq onwards are cheaper though and look so good, i'd be happy with either
had my 11 month old daughter on my lap watching the video above, she loved it lol, massive grin on her face soon as it started

HQ and on only got 220-240Hp smog engines.

according to my copy of wheels mag, the hq 350s were 274hp

[1JZNOSHIT]

Warwick Yellow HK GTS 327 4spd.

Can't go wrong.

Prepare to pay upwards of $100,000 for an excellent example.

Finding a modified HG would be far more worth it if you want to drive/enjoy/thrash it.

[Scaf]

I would kill for a HK-HT-HG GTS, or HQ Coupe. Or even a HQ SS.

Love all the monaros really.

Pretty sure there was an old Monaro for sale near Rick Hart and Good Guys in Joondalup the last couple weeks, about $50k I think - white with black stripes from memory. Looked like a HQ.

I think there is a HG GTS? at Briffa at the moment being restored and worked on, didn't realise how big these cars actually are inside til I saw that one in the flesh.

Either way I don't think you can go wrong. :D

[monk_13]

Big block HK-T-G, Nice tidy body, restored interior, period rims etc.

Or...

HQ done in Yank pro touring (I think they call it that) style, big cubes, some forced induction, BIG power dumped over farking huge tyres etc etc etc....

Either one = win win.

[ckleib]

The one near Rick Hart Joondalup is not worth what he's asking and it's not a hq it's a hz from memory.

[shifted]

You would know Chris seeing you work there! hehe

Can you find me a fridge box for tomorrow? Cheers. :D

[JBAE]

anything other than HQ! fucking ugly vehicle...
