Dig deep guy's, sell the house...sell the wife it might be your last chance to buy some Aussie motoring history at the Shannons auction next month Three Bathurst icons to go under the hammer at Shannons


If I had the cash there would be two big black strips going up my driveway with that Monaro sitting in the garage

Oh yeah !!!
I agree,  the memories come flooding back just looking.
Back then when you had a stonking 6 or V8  that had a hunger for rear tyres,
you thought that  5 or 6 MPG was good  👍👍
I would gladly pay the tyre and fuel bills again.
Occasionally new set of rears would only last a week

Would love a drive of any one of those three today!

The one in the middle please.

Though they are worth so much now, you can't really enjoy them......

[Surferdude]

That's the XW phase 11, it go for around $180-$200k, the XY phase 111 would be a beast to own, I think last one of those sold for about $500k

Why didn't I buy a ford when they were in the showroom 3.5 to 4k $ I think they were. Bugger, bugger

50 years from now you'll be driving Lila and Ruby with the same style.

Yeah I test drove one when I was 19 or 20 y/o and working in the Bank.

I could afford the $4000, but not the $1000 a year insurance (which I guess in today's $$ would have been $6000 p/a + )

My uncle bought a HG GTS Monaro brand new in 1970 for $3500, spewing he never kept it my mum always used to make fun of him as he wore the paint away in two years washing it daily
