HX HOLDEN LE MONARO

“THIS is my mate Allan’s immaculate LE Monaro. Al was a gentleman and loved his cars, but unfortunately he passed away on 1 May this year at the age of 73. The car has a stroked 308 topped by a 750 Holley, backed with a Turbo 350 transmission, 2500 stall converter and 3.08:1 limitedslip diff. Anything that has been repaired, replaced or re-covered has been done strictly to original specifications, and the car is pristine throughout. I was honoured to be invited to attend his funeral (considering only 10 people were allowed due to COVID-19) and his LE, an orange HQ GTS and an HQ Monaro accompanied the hearse to his final resting place. Al’s wife Julie is heavily involved in the Hunter Valley Monaro Car Club, and she will be keeping the car that Al so meticulously maintained here in Newcastle.” Words: Andrew Norris
