MONARO MARKET

THERE WAS never any real doubt, but the recent surge in prices for premium Monaros has underlined their value as collectibles. Auction bids have fluctuated by big percentages in recent times and we suspect it will take a little while for values to settle. However they have now comprehensively moved out of reach of the average punter. HQ Monaro prices are clearly being dragged along in the wake of the HK-HT-HG series. And what about the modern cars? At risk of sounding repetitive, we reckon a good clean CV8 or similar (particularly a manual) is good buying right now. HQs were largely ignored for years, and the same has been happening with the later generation.
