1968 HKS GTS 327 BATHURST

$302,000 SHANNONS, MELBOURNE

This Warwick Yellow Bathurst busted through the top of its high estimate and kept on trucking. Here’s proof, if ever it were needed, that there’s still strong demand for the right Aussie muscle car. The Monaro’s prominence at last year’s Motorclassica, albeit a successor HT 350 version, has helped buoy interest in prime condition Sixties models and these 327s actually have a sweeter motor than the later 350ci lumps. Does this stack up as a longer term investment? That one we could debate all day.
