[Bonnie and Clyde]

FK me. Thats BD awsome. I said i would'nt get rid of our Ro but if i could have that thing with nostrils i'd be happier then a pig in st

[Bonnie and Clyde]

Is that Beast coming over here. If so then WHEN. Whats the engin size, bhp, do those twin pips come out both sides?
Cols gonna go TT's when he sees it. You'll have to excuse me now. I'm off for a cold shower

[Well_Fans]

stick an ls7 in it and my only question left is where do I sign......

[tim the pool man]

Don't get too excited, that is still just the "coupe60" concept car, that GMH have said they definitely won't be building.

ETA: I think it would be the 4th Gen if it happened, First being the HK/T/G series, 2nd the HQ/J/X/Z series, and third being the recent VT/X/Y/Z Commodore based series.

Heres some info from an earlier thread, I know what Tim the pool bloke says but, I still live with the hope that GM will see the light and build this 'awesome beast'.

I REALLY hope they release this thing. We would defo be on the list. It is so gorgeous. I do believe i've fallen in love

[Lewis07]

That is a lovely looking car. Proper evolution of the coupe.

[Gas_Man]

I know it's extremely unlikely to be built... but still I hope. I'd sell my body (or at least bits of it) for one of those

[Bonnie and Clyde]

My body aint worth alot so i'd sell my mom, dad, kids and friends for one of them. Cant put Col because he's the only one that comes on here
Gas man. Just out of interest which "bits" would you sell

[tim the pool man]

the "4th gen" bit, if anyone is interested I can post some pics of each of the earlier generations of Monaros

Yes please

Here is my favourite, the HQ, the car that got me into GMH, basically the 4 door version was used as NZ police car. Reminds me of the US Chevelle

[tim the pool man]

For a start, here's my brother's HQ 4 door Monaro GTS 308. He also had a 2 door HQ Monaro 350.

Any bits that would be worthy of interest I guess

OK, a bit of a history lesson

We have heaps of pics of all models on our WA Monaro club website, but they are hidden behind a members only login and then 2 layers of passwords... and a big warning not to post them on other sites... so I've had to link to pics I found on google.

First Generation HK, HT, HG

HK Monaro; 68/69, 161 & 186 CI 6 cyl or 307 & 327 CI Chev V8



HT Monaro; 69/70, 6 cyl or Holden 253 or 308 V8, or Chev 350 V8



HG Monaro; 70/71, same engines as HT.



Second generation HQ, HJ, HX, HZ

HQ; 71/74, Monaros came in both 2 door and 4 door, with lots of versions including GTS and SS variants.
Engines: 173 & 202 6cyl, 253, 308 and 350 V8



HJ; 74/76 Again in 2 and 4 doors, same engines except the 350 Chev no longer available.



HX; 76/77 As per the HJ, except the only 2 door was a Limited Edition (LE) in reddish/purple with gold wheels.



HZ; 77/79 Only a 4 door Monaro, and IIRC only as a V8 (253 or 308)



3rd Generation... You all know the story
