HK GTS 327 Holden Monaro

[Holden rocks]

what do u think of the Hk monaro

[adrenaline]

Was the HK the very first series of Monaro? (I'm no Holden historian :D)

I prefer it over the later HQ-HZ style Monaro's.

Yep, I'm with you there. After the HT, they just don't have the same magic as the original body style. There's always a few tuff ones at the 'nats

The HK Monaro was 1968 Wheels Car of the Year, and a 1968 debut win at Sandown for the Monaro GTS 327 was followed by first (McPhee/Mulholland), second and third outright at Bathurst, the first of many Holden enduro victories to come.

I really like the old school GTS's some of my favorite muscle cars, cant seem to fine many pics of them tho. [Tip] when making a thread like this its good to give some info and pics so they know what your talkin about. Like i did in this post. [endTip]

Am i the only one that doesn't like them? I really am so not into older model holden and fords pre 80's.
Too the point i couldn't tell you what models they had :D HK HQ HR wtf? Don't know which is which never liked them, My grandfather had one and i still don't know what model it was, But it look something like that white one bottom with 4 doors but.

Great pics caz :cool:

In 1970 or '71 Peter Robinson of Wheels mag tested an HG model Monaro GTS 350, took it out to western NSW. HG is the final version of the HK/HT/HG 1st gen bodystyle. Robbo reported this was the first time he'd averaged 130mph on a public road, for maybe 20 minutes (iirc?) between towns

You're right, HQ Monaros are a terrific looking car. Here's some pics of a very tidy & original HQ GTS 350 coupe, in appealing metallic green :)

This stock looking HK Monaro (in the 327-exclusive Warwick Yellow colour) comes from my town - check the speeds! :eek:

Not really, I respect them espically when they are in mint nick there's a old holden around the corner looks very very old, Very clean. Some old chevs getting around and there a similar too the green one above you but yellow that gets about here with a big V8. But really i'm not a muscle car man too be honest i didn't really start too get into cars till i was well into my teens.
Actually I'm not a gigantic fan of V8's, They do produce the sweetest sound on earth and some massive torque and that can send chills up your spine, But i would rather a 6:D Don't shoot me:D.
But that doesn't stop me from twisting my head off searching when i here a worked V8:).

The HK Monaro was one of the best old school Muscle Cars
