HK Monaro GTS

Probably anyone over the age of 50 would remember the release of the HK Monaro, and possibly because of the catsuited model in the door of the outrageous – for the time – Warwick Yellow coupe.

With its full width faux tail lights and sloping rear window the HK Monaro was a groundbreaker for Holden in Australia. For the first time, a two door coupe, dripping with American styling cues, and finally – a V8 engine.

The HK Monaro GTS was available with a six, or a “5 Litre” 307 cubic inch Chevrolet small block, backed up by the trusty powerglide 2 speed auto, or the mighty 327, with the “4 on the floor” Saginaw box.

The HK Monaro really was the start of something special in Australia.
