This HQ left the factory as a LS model, and recently undergone a masterful extensive nut and bolt restoration as a GTS 350 coupe recreation. It is now running with the 350 Chev motor, fitted to a Muncie 4 speed and a 9" diff. The car has an immaculate trimmed interior and is fitted with air conditioning painted in stunning Gold Duco complemented by its unblemished chrome work, GTS Fluted guards and American racing wheels, this car must be seen to be believed. This recreation is a good as it gets in Australian muscle cars and is an appreciating asset for the future with only 13,782 HQ Monaro's built
The HQ was the most radically new model since 1948, and Monaro shared the benefits. It had a partial front subframe that extended to the centre pillar and a totally new rear suspension. It delivered new levels of structural strength, rough road stability and grip. Further features included a more comprehensive safety package, Holden's first flow-through ventilation, a demisting system, integrated air-conditioning, a new flat dash and slender front pillars for exceptional forward vision.
A completely new body design emerged with the HQ series in July 1971, including the new Monaro 'LS' (commonly believed to mean "Luxury Sports") model which featured four headlights and chrome trim rings taken from the Holden Premier sedan. There were no longer any six-cylinder versions of the Monaro GTS, just the locally manufactured 4.2L (253ci) or optional 5.0L (308ci) V8s or the top level GTS 350 coupé, equipped with the American 5.7L (350 ci) Chevrolet motor.
