That's a beautiful collection Barry has. And that stunning 186 Premier goes to show it doesn't always have to be about how fast you can go...but how you get there. Another brilliant episode Glenn.
I had a HT Monaro GTS same colour but a 307 with power glide and white interior and it is the biggest regret in my life selling it in 1980. :-(. Love your cars mate your a lucky man thanks for sharing.
I had a ride in a yellow and black 327 Monaro in about 1980. It belonged to a mate of mines older brother. Boy I'll never forget the acceleration. I was sucked into the seat like a jet fighter taking off!
Love these segments Glenn, love the cars of 60’s and 70’s. Had a 68 GTS 186s 4 speed in silver with black interior as a 17yo in 1973. It was a low mile vehicle in great condition and I took great care of it. Seeing these vehicles in great condition evoke great memories. Thanks for sharing them
That premier is awesome. I had a genuine HT Premier wagon with factory GTS dash, centre consul, guards and front brakes. 308 and saginaw that was also Silver Mink. Same preimer interior as this one only in bucksin. It was so comfortable. I sold it to a neighbours son in 1995 and he put it around a telegraph pole with his mates in the car. It went to a wreckers in Wollongong NSW never to be seen again. It would of been a very rare car today.
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines great show mate...but...jeez...could you just ask the owners to start some of these gems.just a cold start and a lumpy idle....be great..the Cobra was painful....thanks!
@@lonewarrior1543 , when we start production again for 2021 that's the plan! In the meantime we're splitting up content in RUclips bight sizes from original content that included a drive segment, designed for TV episodes of half-hour duration. Great idea though moving forward, and this feedback is a really good thing for our future RUclips style format. Less music and more engine music, plus start ups where we can drive them! :-)
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines Thanks Glenn....yeah that 427 on a cold start...in that hall...the acousics would have been perfect....wish you millions of views!
I love the Aussie classics, the Premier and Monaco etc., but just seeing interior of the Mercury Cougar and I cant help noticing immediately how much more luxurious and premium it looks with those plump seats and the dash and general interior as well as the outside contours. It looks like a Rolls compared to the Holdens. We had pretty pedestrian cars through the 60s and 70s, that’s for sure. The HK color is cool. And same for that HT Monaro in olive with the brass stripes.
I had a light green HG Kingswood sedan. It was only a 186 manual 3 on tree. I wanted to put a four speed into it as I hated column manuals. I also wanted to work the engine over a bit, but never got around to it. I later got a VK Commodore wagon with six cylinder carb engine. It had a dreadful pinging problem, and the Trimatic played up badly. That green Monaro is the nicest car in the collection.........you owe your mate a lot of cases of 🍺 beer! 😃👍
Seeing the HT Monaro,I had a HK 3274 speed met blue,white interior, Vinyl roof etc It was in mint condition and worth serious $$ on todays market I had Augner alloys on it later on,but a house came along and it had to go🧐
I wonder how much that Holden Premier has in common with our U.S. GM A body sedans from the late 60s, like the Oldsmobile Cutlass and the Chevelle Malibu. They look definitely related! American here, big fan of Australian cars!
Had a Monaro just like that green one and with the gold stripes - GTS 350 Powerglide. Lovely to drive and tons of grunt. Needed power steering bad. Sold it in 1975 for $1900.00 - who knew ??
@@paulbarnes6124 Because I actually like these cars. Saying something is the best is a matter of opinion anyways. I like all kinds of cars, and yes...late 60s and early 70s Camaros etc.
So many cars back in the day that could be had pretty cheap that are now worth house prices, my regret is not that I don't have a car worth that much but simply that I can't afford them now.
people around these days have sooo much more money than people back then . if you had one good car back then you were doing well . now guys have massive sheds full of cars
I had the chance to buy a Blue HT350 Bathurst Monaro in 1989 for $14000 from a collector in Perth hills.It only had 50,000 miles on it & was immaculate.Dumb me passed on it.
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines The stories are endless on this subject are they not.I looked at a perfect yellow XU1 for $5000 and passed back in 1987 & while at a party in pinjara ,WA a guy said his brother had a GTR phase 1.5 in the shed.You dont believe me do you.Well I had just read about the phase 1.5 in a magazine so said yes,please show me & sure enough there under a car cover was a Red outside & Black inside Ford GTO phase 1.5. Only 150 where ever made & this one cost the owner only $18,000 about 1988 I think.It was had a Cleveland 351 engine from the factory.Worst still I sold my Torana A9X for only $13,000 in 98 .It was perfect except it did not have the original motor.My only consolation was a rich Guy on a Newman Mine site asked did my A9X have a plastic or fiberglass front end air scoop.I said Fiberglass & he said wrong its fake & hung up on me.When I went out to look he was right but lost the sale.What a loser he turned out to be.

Love this model it always reminds me of "Matlock Police". Those were the days, remember how exciting it was when a new model came out.
when cars had unique styling and character! I LOVED Matlock Police. :-)
This is my ultimate dream car, exact colour combo and all 👌👌👌
Excellent classic Monaro, great original colour

James Royston , thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it. We have much more to come! 😊

That's a nice cat. Convertible XR7. They probably didn't make too many of those.

My first car was the same colour green and gold HT with a 308 4 speed.
The HT is my pick. The blue one will look amazing too just a shame about the price tag.

Gotta ask.... how many cars does Barry have in that collection of his.... and how the hell did he get them! Wow!
I think it'd be about 10 cars! Gained through hard work, and patience in finding the right cars.
I'd love to buy a late 60s Monaro and import it to the USA. 😎
68 Pontiac firebird looks cooler 👍
@@paulbarnes6124 69 Camaro looks even cooler than the fire chicken. 👍
Not even sure what your comment has to do with this 69 Monaro?
@@2015_Rubicnn why a Monaro when you have the best in USA is my point!!

how do i get my car on the show ?
What do you have?
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines 1963 rambler, hq holden, 1926 dodge ute and a lot more.

What is an original HT Monaro worth these days ? .
A car like this survivor is a $200k plus investment now, and a restored variant is worth $250 - $280K! Prices have skyrocketed in recent years.
Good old cars don't make cars outta real Steel these days
128mph at bathurst no brakes HT 350
....i need this barry dude to be my mate.....he is hogging all the good cars...
Change your channel back to Man and Machine
Due to global trademark issues we cant
Power glide sucked 2speed.
I can't see what folks get excited about, me think the HT monaro has to be one of the ugliest cars ever made.
