1974 Holden HQ GTS

KEY FACTS This HQ-generation Holden Monaro GTS 308 is a rare and iconic classic Australian muscle car, presented in a vibrant factory colour scheme. It is powered by a 308ci (5.0-litre) V8 engine, driving the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. First registered in 1974, this Australia-delivered car was purchased by the seller's late father in 1976, who was the second owner. The odometer indicates 15,677 km, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1974 EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES This HQ GTS 308 is finished in Fire Engine Red paintwork over a beige vinyl-trimmed interior, featuring aftermarket sheepskin front seat covers, and chrome and machined metal trim. It rides on a set of 14-inch cross-spoke machined alloy wheels fitted with Dunlop Le Mans tyres. Equipment includes a three-spoke steering wheel, heater and ventilation control, a Pioneer cassette stereo, and the very rare NSW black and yellow plates 'GTS074'. The car is accompanied by two keys, a set of five Monaro GTS alloy wheels, a spare wheel, along with spare GTS badges, spare wheel centre caps, a couple of reflectors, and some registration and insurance paperwork.
