Nice one, I have an original '77 HZ GTS 253 4 speed, very few of them made. Found it in a shed in 2016 hadn't moved for 20 years, bought it and gave it a full resto. They are the best looking "Monaro" they made, though I am obviously a bit biased 🤣. Great to see some local content from Perth.
Hey mate, we would love to interview you about your car if you interested. Email us at info@aussiegaragetv,com,au and we would love to hear about your story.
I just got mine back on the road, it has been in the family 35ish years now. Mine was Flamenco red but i went with soul red. Beautiful car and well maintained!!
i had a original HX gts monaro (1977 lima yellow the last ones with the blacked out bonnet gts painted on the rear doors and the back of the boot lid, lima yellow color coded bumpers 253 4 speed, honey comb wheels and caps, cream interior with herring bone inserts) had this car for 15 years (second owner brought with 110,000 kms sold with 245,000 kms) also owned a original HQ ss but in red also a 253 with a 4 speed traded the HQ for the HX
I have pictures but will have to dig them out sold the Hx in 2000 also have the original build sheet that they put under the carpet I will be see if I can scan it (it is covered in contact) traded it on a 6 cylinder commode by the time I got rid of it, it had a V8 built by Greg Thompson (the same guy who won the burn out at the summer nats in a Capri with a 454 in it) a top loader gearbox and and a 9 inch diff, traded the commodore in for a hsv manta traded the manta for a 2005 club sport then traded the club sport for my current car a 2016 VFll redline with a 6 speed in red of course
Very well presented, awesome original car for a Sunday cruiser. Wish I still kept mine.
Agreed. Verry original car in great condition.

We love cars with a back story. These things were built for cruising. Good to hear you have got another classic back on the road.
Still a fine looking car
These cars are very popular. And this one is beautiful.
I know Vic well. He doesn't do things by halves, so thumbs up here for sure
