Registered in Western Australia with custom plates XHG 071 (included in sale)
With a new addition of a baby girl to our family Wifey and I have decided to sell our Monaro.
• Low Km’s - used as weekend car, always garaged under car cover
• Top condition - beautiful interior and exterior, detailed periodically
• Mechanically A1 - recent major service, runs like a dream, nothing to do
• Professionally modified for convenience, reliability and safety – new seat belts, electronic ignition and 5 speed transmission
We have owned this car for over a decade and have lovingly restored it around a simple vision: To create a reliable, comfortable cruiser that maintains its iconic muscle car heritage.

What’s not perfect:
- Small 1-2" crack in dash pad
- Silver edging on interior trim pieces around the radio console could use a touch up
- With the transmission swap, the speedo is out by ~10%. Replacement accurate speedo gear can be ordered from Castlemaine Rod Shop
- Electric antenna (Dakota Digital) doesn’t get great reception
Inspection and viewing can be arranged on request. Test drives will require a deposit and written intention to purchase. Assistance with interstate transport can be provided.
This car represents great value at $55,000.
