1972 Holden HQ Monaro GTS Coupe: Australian Style, Retro Toughness.

The 1972 Holden HQ Monaro GTS Coupe is a true testament to Australia’s muscle car legacy, blending timeless coupe design with V8 performance.

This factory 80837 V8 GTS model takes things to the next level, presented in an eye-catching Cherry Red paintwork accented with classic white GTS striping. It’s a rolling masterpiece with the power and presence to match its heritage.

Performance Guaranteed:

Beneath the bold exterior lies a Chevrolet 383ci V8 engine, finely tuned on the dyno to deliver strong power. Equipped with Edelbrock alloy heads & matching manifold combo, together with a Holley Brawler carburetor, this HQ puts down a solid 362HP and 502Nm of torque to the wheels.

The power is transferred through a Tremec T56 6-speed manual gearbox and delivered with authority to a 9-inch limited-slip differential, making every drive a fun experience.

Keeping the engine cool is a high-capacity alloy radiator paired with twin thermo fans, ensuring consistent performance even under demanding conditions. Blower-style drive belts provide not just reliability but a unique mechanical soundtrack, perfectly complemented by large extractors and a twin exhaust system with crossover pipes. The resulting exhaust note is a symphony of raw power that will turn heads even at idle.

Timeless Style, Modern Edge:

The Cherry Red paintwork with white GTS striping pays homage to the Monaro’s classic roots while adding a vibrant, modern touch. Widened GTS wheels in dark grey enhance the car’s aggressive stance, giving it a slightly “murdered-out” look that contrasts beautifully with the bright bodywork and chromed bumpers. Every angle of this Monaro exudes confidence and charisma, making it a standout on any road or at any show.

Luxurious Interior Craftsmanship:

Step inside, and you’ll find a cabin that’s refined. The black interior features double diamond-stitched leather upholstery that adds a bespoke flair to the car’s character. The leather-trimmed GTS steering wheel offers a tactile connection to the road, while the standard GTS dashboard maintains a classic look and feel. The result is an interior that perfectly balances heritage with style.

Built to Show, Go, and Cruise:

Whether you’re showcasing this Monaro at a classic car event, unleashing its power on the open road, or enjoying a relaxed weekend cruise, it delivers in every aspect. Its combination of striking aesthetics, roaring performance, and luxurious details makes it a car that appeals to both purists and modern enthusiasts.

An Australian Legend:

This 1972 Holden HQ Monaro GTS Coupe is not just a car—it’s a bloody well-known piece of Australia’s automotive & cultural history. With this HQ's bold Cherry Red finish, strong performance and bespoke interior touches, it embodies the spirit of Aussie muscle in every way with a touch of individuality.

This HQ Coupe is ready to put a smile on everyone’s  face and fly down any street you point it at. The rest is up to you.
