Offered for sale in Perth, WA this exceptional Tangerine Holden HQ GTS 350 Monaro Sedan is among the finest restorations we have seen.
Professionally completed by renowned Australian restoration specialist, Munster Muscle Cars, this is a full nut-and-bolt, body-off-chassis restoration executed to an uncompromising standard. Presented in its highly desirable original colour combination of Tangerine with Lone ORanger stripes and Doeskin trim with Chestnut accents, the car delivers both outstanding authenticity and breathtaking presentation.
Built at the GMH Melbourne plant and originally sold through Motors Pty Ltd in Hobart, Tasmania, this Monaro is powered by a period-correct QU-prefix 350ci V8 paired with the factory Turbo 400 automatic transmission and Salisbury limited-slip differential.
With only 214 HQ GTS 350 sedans produced and just 160 equipped with the Turbo 400 automatic this is an exceptionally rare Australian muscle car.
The restoration was completed 5 years ago using the extremely solid original body and includes extensive mechanical enhancements designed to improve drivability while maintaining the cars original character. The GTS 350 V8 has been professionally blueprinted and balanced and features premium internal components including:
Hydraulic roller camshaft
Roller rockers
Match-ported cylinder heads
Oversized valves
The Turbo 400 transmission has been upgraded with a shift kit and 3,000 rpm high-stall converter, while the Salisbury differential runs a desirable 3.08:1 ratio with LSD. A full stainless dual exhaust system has also been fitted.
Further enhancing the driving experience, the vehicle is equipped with factory-style HQ power steering. No detail has been overlooked throughout the build. Every component has been restored, rebuilt, refinished or recalibrated to ensure the car performs and presents at the highest possible level. The quality of workmanship, paint finish and detailing throughout are consistent with Australias premier concours-level muscle car restorations.
Importantly, the vehicle is accompanied by:
Holden Historical Services Letter of Verification
Extensive restoration Portfolio
This is a rare opportunity to secure a highly collectible and investment-grade HQ GTS Monaro sedan restored to an exceptional standard.
