Holden HQ Monaro GTS Coupe: Australian Style, V8 Toughness The 1972 Holden HQ Monaro GTS Coupe is a true testament to Australia’s muscle car legacy, blending timeless coupe design with V8 strength and performance.
This factory 80837 V8 GTS model takes things to the next level, presented in an eye-catching Dark Cherry paintwork accented with classic white GTS striping.
It’s a rolling masterpiece with retro fitted power and presence to match its heritage.
Performance Guaranteed Beneath the bold exterior lies a Chevrolet 383ci V8 engine, finely tuned on the dyno to deliver strong power. Equipped with Edelbrock alloy heads & matching manifold combo, together with a Holley Brawler carburetor, this HQ puts down a solid 362HP and big 502Nm of torque to the wheels.
The power is transferred through a Tremec TR-6060 6-speed manual gearbox and delivered with authority to a 9-inch limited-slip differential, making every drive a fun experience.
Keeping the engine cool is a high-capacity alloy radiator paired with twin thermo fans, ensuring consistent performance even under demanding conditions.
Blower-style drive belts provide not just reliability but a unique mechanical soundtrack, perfectly complemented by large extractors and a twin exhaust system with crossover pipes. The resulting exhaust note is a symphony of raw power that will turn heads even at idle.
Timeless Style, Modern Edge The Dark Cherry paintwork with white GTS striping pays homage to the Monaro’s classic roots while adding a vibrant, modern touch.
Widened GTS wheels in dark grey enhance the car’s aggressive stance, giving it a slightly “murdered-out” look that contrasts beautifully with the bright bodywork and chromed bumpers.
Every angle of this Monaro exudes confidence and charisma with its own style, making it a standout on any road or at any show.
Luxurious Interior Craftsmanship Step inside, and you’ll find a cabin that’s refined. The stunning black interior features double diamond-stitched leather upholstery that adds a bespoke flair to the car’s character.
The leather-trimmed GTS steering wheel offers a tactile connection to the road, while the original HQ GTS dashboard maintains its original array of GTS gauges with the temp gauge requiring refurbishment to complete this beautiful interior.
The stand out result is an interior that perfectly balances heritage with luxurious style.
Built to Show, Go, and Cruise Whether you’re showcasing this Monaro at a classic car event, unleashing its power on the open road, or enjoying a relaxed weekend cruise, it delivers in every aspect.
With this HQ’s bold Dark Cherry finish, strong performance and bespoke interior touches, it embodies the spirit of Aussie muscle in every way with a touch of individuality.
This HQ Coupe is ready to put a smile on everyone’s face and fly down any street you point it at. The rest is up to you.
