Aussie Garage | HQ Holden Monaro GTS Coupe in Tweety Bird Yellow - Phil's Interview @AussieGarage | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
On todays episode we have our last interview we conducted at Benzina Stables on our Melbourne trip. This time we chat with Phil about his stunning HQ Holden Monaro GTS Coupe. Phil is the 3rd owner and knows all the history on this car as well as becoming friends with the last owner. So this car has a great story. When Phil purchased the car it had a 308, Tri-Matic with a 9 inch diff, and Centerline wheels. It was a true 80s build. however it is a factory 253 4 speed car and Phil wanted to go back to original just like the factory.
The body work and paint being done by the last owner, Phil decided to changed out the diff and gearbox for the original m21 and 12 bolt. He left the 308 in it because it is healthy and puts out about 400hp. It has been made to look factory under the hood but it's got the fruit. The paint colour is Yellow Dolly, it was picked by the first owner when he ordered it from the factory after seeing a XY Ford Falcon GT in Yellow Glow advertised. The Centerline wheels were replaced with GTS wheels and the stance is low.
The interior is part original and part restored with the front seats getting a revamp and a new dash pad was fitted. It is a radio delete car and has not been cut into for a stereo or speakers.
All in all, this car is a very original example of what left the factory all those years ago. We hope you enjoy the story about Phil's HQ Holden Monaro GTS Coupe and Stay tuned for more Melbourne Interviews shortly, as we still have loads more to go.
