1970 Holden HT GTS 350 Bathurst Monaro – Verified Matching Numbers – Concours Showroom Condition
The Bathurst Monaro. The legend that cemented Holden’s place in Australian motorsport history. This is the car that started it all, and few examples on earth come close to the pedigree, presence, and perfection of this Kashmir White HT GTS 350.
One of only 275 ever built, this Monaro is a true collector’s prize and has been the centrepiece of Holden enthusiasm for decades.
Undergoing a meticulous nut and bolt restoration over two years, this HT Monaro has been returned to its exact factory glory, right down to the wax-top battery and OEM 2-speaker radio with under-dash fader. Every line, seam, and stitch reflects Holden’s proud heritage. Verified by ICAARS, it retains all its correct matching numbers and presents in showroom condition.
Owned since 2017 by its current custodian, the car has been pampered and preserved, driven sparingly only for car shows and special occasions. The odometer ceased working shortly after acquisition, though mileage is estimated at only 44,000 original miles. While the original logbooks are long lost, the provenance and verification certificate fully support its authenticity.
If there is a finer HT GTS 350 Bathurst Monaro in existence, it has yet to surface. This is not just a car, it is a piece of Australian racing folklore, a statement of style, and a blue-chip investment in motoring history.
The 1970 HT Monaro was the car that took Holden from being a proud local manufacturer to a dominant force on the race track. Building on the success of the original HK, the HT was refined with sleeker lines, updated styling, and most importantly, the introduction of Chevrolet’s mighty 350ci V8. This engine transformed the Monaro into a genuine Bathurst contender and a serious muscle car, capable of holding its own against the best in the world.
The HT GTS 350 became an instant legend when it roared onto Mount Panorama, clinching victory at Bathurst in 1969 with Colin Bond and Tony Roberts behind the wheel. That success etched the Monaro name into Australian motorsport folklore and gave the HT its enduring “Bathurst Monaro” nickname. Built in limited numbers, these cars were the weapon of choice for enthusiasts who wanted race-bred performance with unmistakable Holden style.
Today, the HT Monaro is regarded as one of the most collectible Australian classics. Its combination of rarity, racing pedigree, and timeless coupe styling makes it highly sought after by collectors both here and abroad. Owning an HT GTS 350 is more than having a car — it is owning a piece of Holden’s golden era, a chapter of Australian history that will never be repeated.
