Comments from the seller
🚗💨 The car doesn’t know it’s not a GTS and neither does 99.9% of the public And as it stands today it’s built better than any standard GTS in any case.
🚗💨 Modifying a genuine GTS body to this extent would be sacrilegious, so it made sense to save a base model and transform from it into what can be yours today.
🚗💨 Simply, now you can invest in an extremely improved variant of one of Australia’s most iconic muscle cars.
🚗💨 This is a modified performance car. A no-compromise, fully NSW-engineered HK Monaro combining iconic Australian muscle with 630-horsepower engine using modern LS performance — offered at a fraction of today’s replacement build cost.
This HK Monaro GTS tribute presents a rare opportunity to acquire a no-compromise, Australian muscle car, blending iconic HK Monaro styling with modern performance, drivability, and reliability.
Widely regarded as one of the toughest Monaro builds of its type, this car delivers contemporary supercar-level performance while retaining the unmistakable presence of the original HK Monaro silhouette.
Powered by a supercharged LS1 V8, producing approximately 630 horsepower (552 rwhp), the engine is paired with a Tremec six-speed manual transmission, billet Uni-Clutch ensuring direct driver engagement and reinforcing the car’s authentic muscle car credentials.
Power is delivered through an 8.5-inch Eaton Positrac differential with Strange axles, while BAER braking — six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers with 343 mm rotors — provides stopping performance appropriate to the vehicle’s considerable output.
The chassis has been comprehensively upgraded, featuring adjustable Strange shocks, mono-leaf rear suspension, tubular front suspension, and power steering, delivering confident road manners without compromising performance intent. The vehicle is NSW engineered (refer supporting documentation) for full or conditional registration, making it suitable for both display and road use.
The Monaro sits with purpose on Simmons three-piece FR wheels, measuring 18 inches at the front and 20 inches at the rear, perfectly complementing the upgraded braking package and muscular stance.
Inside, the cabin has been finished in custom leather trim, incorporating four bucket seats to blend period character with modern comfort. A premium Kenwood / Fusion / Vibe audio system is fitted, along with a Haltech iC-7 digital dash, operating in conjunction with the standard GM ECU to provide modern instrumentation while retaining OEM reliability.
Accompanying the vehicle is an extensive history file, including photographs, videos, and detailed build documentation, underscoring the depth and quality of the build.
Importantly, the estimated replacement build cost of a Monaro to this specification — allowing for current parts pricing, labour, engineering, and compliance — is understood to exceed the asking figure substantially, without accounting for the time, complexity, and uncertainty involved in replicating such a build today.
A compelling acquisition for the discerning collector, or the once in a lifetime investor seeking a high-performance, road-usable HK Monaro of exceptional presence, engineering, and long-term desirability.
