Dash vents spinning on their own at high speed, only some people are going to know what that means. 😀

[@petergill8819]

[@jimclarke1108]

Amazing

[@nealenewton4193]

Sure it's a 350...? The aircleaner looks like 253/308 donk. Actually, why no engine footage...?

[@spiritlevelstudios]

If you watch Howard Astill's channel, he has a vid up with a guy who specialises in XW-XY restos.. People are paying $30-40k just for a base model shell, which more often than not is rough AF, just as a starting point. This would have been pricey, but sell close to $100k, just due to it's rarity and "unrestored" nearly drivable condition.

HOLY SHIT BATMAN! . . . LOOK WHAT THE NEIGHBOURS HAD STASHED IN THEIR CAVE! The wheels are American Racing (US Racers) I have one lurking around somewhere. If you want a spare, leave a reply.

Needs AC

[@paulthompson8480]

hi LOL air horns /alarm/wheels / bloody awful Ford ? front seats . I can feel a minor 30.000$ rebuild happening . Good find , max 30G is all that should be paid for it at auction . But at least the kids with all the Kmart accessories did not have a go at it [typical in the 60`s 70`s 80`s]. Not even 1 or more holes in the dash ,i am disappointed .

Cant buy a needs resto v8 kingswood for 30k this will go 80 to 100 its 150k restored

[@paulthompson8480]

@@MrCapssy Comes a point in time when a 10 bolt cone lsd with a 275 hp 350 with no options starts to out value itself . Many 1 or 2 owner cars with big blocks and loaded with accessories for cheaper in usa .

[@MrCapssy]

@@paulthompson8480 also much less desirable cars here made in much higher numbers. sometimes its not about the power but about having something that reminds you of your younger years that you couldnt afford then or purely just about having something that very few others have. the American market is much the same and many of the cheap big block you mention are cheaper purely just because there's so many . If this was a Plymouth siperbird for example it would be 1.5 million plus over there. This monaro is in that rare category for the Australian market some people just can't accept that....

[@paulthompson8480]

@@MrCapssy I don`t see the Australian cars as being that special unless its a track car or close to it . Sure the 350 HQ is nice but overpriced . The Q-z series never ran at the track with great success and Holden economised with the Torana being used for racing . The Q-Z series was very much an economy version of the USA vehicles anyways . Yes there are some better points than the usa cars but the majority of mechanicals is nothing special . The Q--Z-WB never fully realised its full potential. Early GM usa intervention HJ on, and at the WA unreleased /WB model , killed this series of cars before its time . The Monaro 350 was a trim option with a GM Canadian base model engine . Best parts were the Pontiac based diff and the transmissions If it does it for u great . You first need to understand the GM thinking behind the car which shines a different light upon the vehicle . Sadly this model is an under achiever.

[@MrCapssy]

@@paulthompson8480 yes the car was an underachiever for gm globally we are and we're a drop in the ocean for them but the 350 gts cope and sedan and torana a9x slr500 were the peak of the Australian gm market yes the gts sedan 350 is probably the lowest of the 4 but all 4 of those cars were something special here not just another cookie cutter comaro or corvette I've worked on plenty of these cars yes there cool but the build quality was no better than the Aussie built cars

[@fortunateson7852]

Too bad it’s a four door. Was hoping it was a a 350 coupe

[@lindsaymcpherson4744]
