1972 Holden HQ Monaro GTS - Orange - 176,865km - Stroked 355 V8, 4-Speed Manual

Overview

The HQ Monaro GTS represents the pinnacle of Holden's muscle car era, combining aggressive styling with genuine V8 performance. Launched in 1971, the HQ generation brought refined handling and improved build quality to the Monaro lineage while maintaining the raw appeal that made these cars legendary. This 1972 example features the desirable 308 cubic inch V8 engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, delivering the authentic muscle car experience that collectors seek.

This particular GTS presents in striking orange paintwork that shows good gloss and consistency across all panels. The iconic GTS side vents and badging are present and correct, while the classic Rally wheels with trim rings complete the period-correct appearance. The black interior features the distinctive GTS bucket seats with houndstooth inserts, showing wear consistent with the vehicle's age but remaining serviceable. The rear compartment includes the factory-style parcel shelf speakers and retains its original configuration.

Condition

The exterior paint maintains good shine with minor imperfections typical of a vehicle of this vintage. Panel alignment appears straight and consistent. The chrome bumpers show some age-related patina but remain presentable. Interior presents with expected wear to the driver's seat bolster and steering wheel, while the dashboard and door cards remain intact. The engine bay shows a well-maintained stroked 355 V8 with aftermarket MSD ignition system for improved reliability. Recent dyno testing shows the engine producing 295hp at the wheels with strong torque delivery throughout the rev range.
