Rare for sure.
Wonder what it cost to transplant a 7.0litre, upgrade brakes, rip out rear seats etc in a standard Monaro!
$100k!

I just can't get my head around that. Just thinking what else you could do with that money.they go on about it being a true race car.irrelevant if it never sees the track.

Welcome to the world of "well they don't make them anymore" Australian cars. Even though they were only ever based on humdrum cheaply designed , built and sold cars with the build quality and interior of a toddler's lego house , they now command the same price or more as any world-renowned classic car.

really! I'm pretty sure the article says only two were built and Holden still own the other one!

^ pretty sure hes just meaning a race car monaro, because you are quite correct some of the HSV cars are actually quite nice
& this particular car is nowhere near close to berlina standards is it
id much rather have a CV8 thana VN groupA SS

Bonney might have bought one of the three similar spec cars that were built, and won bathurst in 2003.

I am not a great Ford fan, or Holden for that mater, but for that money I would rather a GT-HO if I was given the choice.

Wonder what it will be worth in 40 years time, and theres only ever been two of them. HOs are common in comparrison.

The mind boggles at the thought of value in 40 years time. Might be money well spent.

+1 here rather any aussie muscle car built before 1974, after 74 the cars just got boring
