Price Guide: $65,000 - $82,000
1974 Holden Monaro HJ GTS, 5.0L V8, 4-speed manual, rear-wheel drive, odometer indicating 43,367km, 5 seats, bright yellow.
Description
The HJ Monaro GTS is one of the most recognisable and sought-after names in Australian automotive history. Produced in 1974 as the final chapter of the Monaro's golden era, the HJ GTS combined genuine V8 performance with a four-door body and fastback roofline that remains visually compelling more than fifty years on. This example in bright yellow is a striking piece of Australian muscle car heritage, presenting in excellent overall condition with the GTS-specific interior and drivetrain intact.
The bright yellow paintwork, confirmed by the compliance plate as a genuine November 1974 HJ build, presents with deep gloss and strong reflections across all panels. Body lines are crisp and straight with consistent panel gaps throughout, and there is no visible rust or accident damage from any angle. Chrome trim and GTS badging on the rear quarters are present and in good condition. The car rides on period-correct Bathurst-style five-spoke alloy wheels in black with machined lip, fitted with Nankang tyres. The boot holds the original spare wheel with red pinstripe tyre along with the original scissor jack and bar tool kit. Inside, the GTS-specific six-gauge instrument cluster is a highlight, presented cleanly with the iconic red GTS badging on the dash. Black vinyl bucket seats carry the correct red accent stripe for GTS specification, and the black carpet presents well with minimal visible wear. The four-speed manual shifter sits in a period-correct console. A non-original aftermarket three-spoke steering wheel has been fitted. The engine bay shows the 5.0-litre V8 with red rocker covers in clean, well-detailed condition, consistent with a restored or very well maintained example. An ACDelco replacement battery has been fitted. The compliance plate reads VIN AHJ 06863S, confirming genuine HJ Sedan status and November 1974 manufacture.
It should be noted that while the odometer indicates 43,367km, the vendor advises the odometer has been around at least once during the vehicle's lifetime and the displayed reading should be regarded as indicative only. HJ Monaro GTS examples in strong condition with the correct GTS drivetrain have traded in the $65,000 - $82,000 range in recent years, with the best examples commanding more. The combination of the correct colour, original GTS interior, and factory V8/manual drivetrain makes this a compelling acquisition for serious collectors.
