1968 HOLDEN MONARO 2D COUPE GTS HK
$129,990
1968 Holden HK GTS Monaro V8 | GMH Silver Mink | Documented History
Few cars carry presence like an HK GTS Monaro, and this one walks in wearing quiet confidence rather than shouting for attention.
Originally delivered as a factory 186S six-cylinder GTS, finished in GMH Inca Gold, this Monaro was restored around 30 years ago and tastefully evolved into what it is today. Now finished in the elegant and period-correct GMH Silver Mink, it presents beautifully and suits the HK lines perfectly.
Under the bonnet sits a 350ci V8, built for effortless cruising rather than drama:
- Flat-top pistons with a sensible 9:1 compression
- Heads with screw-in studs and guide plates, ready for roller rockers
- Electric ignition for reliability and easy starts
Backing it up is a Powerglide automatic with quick shift, driving through a 10-bolt LSD rear end.
The stance is spot on with 15-inch Simmons B45 wheels, wrapped in new tyres, giving it the right mix of muscle and polish.
Inside, the car retains its original black interior, adding authenticity and character. A transmission lock is fitted for peace of mind.
What truly sets this Monaro apart is its story:
- 4th owner since new
- Documented history
- With the previous owner for 23 years
- Clearly loved, respected, and never rushed or overdone
This is not a fragile showpiece you’re scared to touch. It’s a Monaro that’s been used, enjoyed, and cared for properly, the kind of car you take out on weekends, let it idle at traffic lights, and watch people quietly stare.
A beautifully presented HK GTS Monaro with the right upgrades, the right history, and the right feel.
A true cruiser you can afford to enjoy every weekend, just as it has been for over two decades.
Update:
This HK GTS Monaro is a well put-together, complete car with nothing missing. It was restored around 35 years ago, and that restoration has held up exceptionally well.
The paint and body still present strongly, but like any classic of this age, they’re now showing honest signs of time.
This is exactly the kind of Monaro you want if you actually plan to drive it on weekends, take it to cars and coffee, or cruise it on a sunny afternoon.
Importantly, Mechanically strong, visually right, and solid where it matters. It’s not a fragile showpiece, and that’s the appeal. You can enjoy it now and tinker, refine, and improve it over time without guilt.
If it had undergone a recent nut-and-bolt restoration, we’d be talking figures in the 200s.
Instead, this represents a genuine opportunity to own an iconic Australian muscle car that’s usable, honest, and sensibly positioned in today’s market.
A proper Monaro for someone who wants the full experience of ownership this Australian classic!
This HK is not for someone who wants to tell their mates they’ve “got one” while it sits in the shed, untouched, cappuccino in hand!
This HK is for someone that gets in the shed tinkers with it (beer in hand) and goes down the road to pick up their mate/s for a drive like back in the day or make new memories….
Available now through Used Car Hub.
