Re: Booming Nostalgia: Underbelly Holden HK Monaro Up For Auction

Underbelly Holden HK Monaro Auction

A rare Holden HK Monaro used in the hit television series Underbelly is tipped to fetch up to $160,000 when it goes to auction next month.

The brilliant blue metallic coupe was made famous in a recent episode of the series.

It goes under the hammer at Shannons classic car auction at the Sydney Showgrounds on July 12.

The Holden HK Monaro GTS 327 is considered a classic and has only 89,000 miles (143,000km) on the clock.

In its heyday the Monaro was a powerful Bathurst race car, winning its first Bathurst enduro just after its launch in 1968.

Delivered new by Stacks Holden in Rose Bay, the two-owner metallic Monaro was build number 312 of what is now one of the country's most collectable muscle cars.

Shannons describes the coupe as showroom perfect.
