Classic Carlectables 1/18 Holden HQ Monaro GTS
When the two door Monaro GTS was released to the Australian motoring public in July 1971 it proved incredibly popular, being an all new design, the fourth all new Holden body produced in ten years.
The monocoque construction and all new four-wheel coil spring suspension provided superior ride and handling and delivered a smoother, safer, more elegant car than any previous Holden. Praised for its advanced features and individual styling, the HQ range represented a more sophisticated design direction for Australian made cars, while delivering the rugged durability and family-size roominess expected by Holden buyers.
The HQ was the largest selling model range to date for Holden and would ensure Holden’s title of Australia’s No.1 car manufacturer. The HQ became an automotive icon of the period.
Features
- Item includes certificate with individual production number.
- Front grille closely matches the original with finely moulded open mesh.
- GTS wheel rims are an outstanding feature on this model with their chrome trim rings.
- Interior includes monogrammed steering wheel and polish silver instrument cluster.
- Soft rubber seats feature the Black and Green Houndstooth colour scheme. Fabric seat belts are also included for the that realistic appearance.
- Detailed engine and surrounding bay that looks just as good as the original. The bonnet also uses sprung metal hinges for strength and stay open function.
- Boot includes spare wheel with retaining wing nut, jack and tyre lever.
Chassis has full detail and working suspension. The front wheels are steerable through a unique linkage system. - Underside detail, like fuel tank and drivetrain are a distinguishing feature of Classic Carlectables models.
