This HQ GTS 350 replica first started life as a highly optioned V8 Premier in Monterey Green Metallic, with (36R) Juniper trim, 308 engine and trimatic transmission. Although a cool car itself, back in 2005 it was decided that a Salamanca Red, Black trim GTS replica would be created from this Prem. So it begun… A mild 350ci Chev engine and Turbo 400 gearbox was installed to continue the GTS 350 theme. It has Extractors, Performer Manifold 4 barrel Holley carb and electronic ignition running through the factory Salisbury diff. The shell was painted inside and out in the new red and black colour combo. The body is straight and the factory HQ body curves are still there, however 14 years on some defects are now appearing in the paint such as small bubbles or cracks. The interior was changed to a full Black with Hounds tooth insert trim, period correct for the HQ GTS look. It is in great condition still and has all the GTS gear fitted such as dash cluster, steering wheel and console. The car has been lowered, rolls on factory GTS wheels and has good chrome, stainless trims, grill, lights and door rubbers. It is super reliable, starts first crank and doesn’t let you down. It looks great on the road, turns many heads and always gets that question, “is it an original GTS 350?” The car is priced to sell at $48,900, as good 6 cylinder Kingswood’s are now starting at $20k. The car is currently on a club permit, so will be sold as is, without Reg and RWC. Call Russ on 0412 601 351 for further details or to organise an inspection.
