The case for and against
The original Australian coupe and a Bathurst winner. 163 verified sales spanning $88,000 to $350,000 give this model unusually good price discovery for a car of its age.
The $350,000 asks are genuine Bathurst homologation cars. An ordinary GTS coupe sits far lower, and replicas built up from six-cylinder cars are widespread.
Known faults and risks
Similar cars, and what they cost to run
163 verified HK/HT/HG Monaro sales range $88,000-$350,000 (australianmusclecarsales.com.au, since 2003). Bathurst homologation cars sit at the top of that band; ordinary GTS coupes well below. Shannons results give two dated anchors from a decade ago: a genuine 1968 HK GTS 327 coupe made $96,000 in February 2015, while a modified HK 327 Improved coupe made $54,000 three months later - the specification is worth roughly two-thirds again over the same body. A 1973 HQ GTS 350 Monaro passed in at an $82,000-$92,000 estimate in September 2015 and a 1978 HZ GTS Monaro 5.0 made $20,500, which is the scale of the gap between the homologation-era cars and the later Monaros wearing the same name.
Five genuine GTS 327 Bathurst coupes sold at Shannons between 2015 and 2021 at $96,000, $215,000, $210,000, $155,000 and $301,000, the run climbing steadily to the 2021 peak. Two failed to sell: one at a $170,000-$220,000 estimate in 2018 and one at $320,000-$360,000 in August 2023, which is the clearest sign the market has come back from the 2021 high.

Five of the seven Monaro lots recorded here sold and two passed in - 5 of 7, or 71 per cent. That is computed from the lots recorded in this entry rather than from every lot ever offered in Australia, so read it as the clearance of this sample rather than of the model. It is included because a failure to sell is evidence about where the market is not, and those lots would otherwise sit in the record doing nothing.
No counted sale on this record publishes an odometer. At this expected distance the old figure converts to an elasticity of -0.522, three times the classic muscle segment's fitted -0.181, and it rested on judgement alone. The distance term is now the segment's and the record says so.
