    HQ GTS monaro as it was before restoration. been sitting in my shed for 17 years. Paid $3,000 for it and
    thought it was too much for it at the time. needed new clutch and hand brake cable.

    Noice. I still can't get my head around this pic posting on this site, so... (fixed the pic for you.... Absinth)



    the other two Holdens in our family are my run about, an LX8 Adventura, and the war and finance minister's car, a Holden Monteray (jackaroo with leather seats), and a Harley for my anti-depressant therapy.

    it wasnt out of a HT or HG came from america and i sold it to a mate a few years ago and now i think it is in a ski boat somewhere. had standard bore and 4 bolt mains i must have been pissed at the time

    --- Updated ---

    nearly sold the Q a few times glad i didnt .i have had five of them one was a rolling shell which i raided for its doors and anything else that was good on it then sold it for $200 and believe it or not i had a few people turn it down!!! i hope they r kicking themselves as much as i am
