NOVEMBER 1990 HOLDEN MONARO HQ GTS350

Even though there were no plans to race HQ Monaros, Holden kept faith with ‘muscle’ enthusiasts by continuing to import the 5.7-litre Chevrolet V8. This HQ is a very early build with accessories like air-conditioning helping justify an asking price considerably above the $1012,000 that was typical at the time for a 350-engined GTS. Values didn’t move to any great extent for almost 15 years but since 2005 the price of genuine HQ GTS350s has soared and very good cars leave no change from $60,000.
