All this has been doing is bringing up the price to a reange above what real car guys can afford to pay for a muscle car. Basically we end up with a bunch of snobs driving around in cars bought based on a price tag. The value in a car like the monaro should be the satisfaction of bringing it back to perfection not $12,000 just because it's missing two doors.

One of my dads mates sold his 68 monaro which was originally a six but had a 350 crate dropped in it over ebay for $40,000. Try telling me people aren't stupid.

If anyone from the states is reading this article I can tell you that this is one of the main reason why the australian street machine scene has such a strong sedan following. It just ain't easy to get a coupe.
