Looks like a cross between an AMC and a Dodge

It's an Australian Holden HQ Monaro 4-door from the early seventies

mmmmm 6 litre V8


[edit: check this page: http://members2.easyspace.com/hothol...q_1971-74.html ]

Looks like a Show'n'Shine. .

Actually Monaro had a 5.8 litre (350) V8, as well as a 5.0 litre (308). Just to be correct.

Now there is a new Monaro.

Cool thanx guys. I had no idea what this thing was, but is does look great
That new monaro looks good too Mick
So is Holden an idependant company,I mean do they make thier own engine ttans that kind of thing? Here in the US, they put mitsubishi engines in some of the Dodge cars/vans.Is this the same way?
Got me curious now
Thanx

Oz Holden = US GM

You will find some GM parts in Holdens, and probably some exported Holden parts in US GM's. Try this link...

BTW, the Mitsubishi engines are made in a factory in Adelaide, a bit down the road from where I work!

bah 5.8, 6.0 who's counting?

I can see why you thought it was a Dodge, there's a good bit of the Charger/Challenger influence in the styling of that Holden. Very much a late 60s/early 70s muscle car

well I didn't know that Mick, I figured they were jap made or something.Thanx for the links, I'll read up on them a little

Yeah it does have some dodge looking contours about it

Yep I thought it was a charger too when I looked at it.

I knew it wasn't an american car, just had no idea wht it was. Never seen one before. Wish I had one now, nobody else would have one
