Holden HQ Monaro GTS Coupe Amethyst Metallic with White Stripes (350ci Engine)

New from the ground up and embracing the best of US and European design trends, Holden’s design and engineering team delivered to Australia’s motoring public a new era in Australian made cars - the HQ.
When the HQ Monaro was released it was commended for it’s eye-catching pillarless coupe roof line and its wrap-over rear window, the forward-reaching front and deep grille looked to be devouring the road ahead, flowing rear lines and pronounced ridges over the front guard gave it a compact, ground-hugging look. Holden’s long experience with Australian conditions meant the design improvements didn’t stop with exterior looks. They delivered new levels of structural strength and safety, rough road stability and grip with a partial front subframe that extended to the centre pillar and a totally new rear suspension. Early Monaro colours came from the ‘flower power’ palette. The colours included several purples, pinks, lime and forest greens, acid reds, bright blues, silver and gold. The Monaro GTS coupe was upgraded in 1973 to coincide with the release of the four door GTS. It introduced bold new colours, new bonnet and bootlid rally patches, accents on the side vents and optional polished trim rings for the sports wheels - as can be seen on this Amethyst Metallic Monaro with contrasting Flax interior.
