HOLDEN HK MONARO GTS

Everybody in 1968 wanted a GTS327, but insurance costs and sheer lack of stock meant that most HK V8s were the 307 cubic inch, 5-litre version. These were still a Chevrolet supplied motor – the Aussiemade ‘308’ more than a year away – and delivered a still useful 157kW. Most surviving HKs seem to be automatic so this manual version – if it exists – will be considerably more valuable. Adding to its appeal in a market that is very keen on provenance is the unusual Inca Gold paint and those distinctive GTS hubcaps. If you own this car now, we would love some photos.
