1971 GM Holden Monaro GTS 2 door - 800HP Big Block Chevy!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2024
- We feature & Drive Dave's Brutal Supercharged 502 cube Big Block Chevy powered HQ Monaro GTS 2 Door. It's one of the most beautiful builds we have ever seen. This model was arguably one of the best looking body styles to leave the General Motors Holden factory here in Australia in the 70s. While some sported the optional and iconic 350 small block Chevy powerplant, this example is stuffed full of 502 cubic inches of Chevrolets finest, topped with a 671 Blower.
At Master of Machines, we love cars, in fact, we love anything with wheels or an engine, from American Muscle Cars to Australian Muscle Cars, Race Cars and Classic Cars of all kinds and even Barn Finds. If it's fast, powerful, restored or hidden away in hibernation then we'll cover it, and in most cases, we'll even drive them!

Much respect to you Aussies!!! Your car culture is second to none and that's coming from the United States. I'm just now learning about Australian cars and that's one that I would like to have.
Glad you're enjoying our content. We're big fans of Australian and American Muscle and Classic down here. :-)
@Shawn 101 yeah that's a shame that none of your cars can be sold here. If there was a kit to change them over to left hand drive cars I bet they would sell. I don't have anything against the Japanese but everyone raves about the skyline and now that they're over 25 years old they can be imported in the United States and on the west coast like in California they're all jumping up and down thinking they won the lottery. I'm a V8 man myself That's what I grew up driving and that's what I'll drive till they take my keys away.
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines I'm looking forward to the next episode in the meantime I've been binge watching old episodes.
@@bigstick66wood47 , thanks so much, we really appreciate your support. There's a lot more coming!
ye Mate, I had one , green, 4 door, paid $5000, back in my youth, Sad to think, it's worth up to $100G"s
the quintessential iconic australian car
Clearly, Dave only does things one way, the RIGHT way! It's a masterpiece mate.
That colour is stunning. I love the quarters too- that lip that trails back.
Real credit to the owner/ builder absolutely beautiful machine
I totally agree
Ford guy - says - How good are these classics! Amazing work done with his car!
Love an old Holden, but no doubt, GT Hardtop is the toughest of all Aussie muscle 👑
That’s been in my Dad’s workshop, Tuff as anything
The paint color and the set up are superb
we have the centre fold of this out of street machine mag, its in the shed and wont be coming down. absaloute awsome build. and my favourite car
Love when i see these Australian masterpieces at American car scene specially in my SoCal area
I have a lot of respect for the Aussies. Growing up watching the "Mad Max" movies, and seeing those cars in them. Australia has also a great car culture just like here in the U.S. I like the Holden Monaro. It's a GM.
I saw the madmax falcon interceptor at the Petersen automotive museum
That car is gorgeous
Theres is enough originality in the colour and trim. The engine is just what everyone changed and his is an ausome one.
Ugliest color combination I've ever seen
I am a massive Ford fan, but what a great car, and another piece of great Australian history.
Aussie muscle cars are just awesome any 2 door steel bumpered got to be the best and favourites and much loved of most old school street machiners 💪👍❤️
Beautiful car Dave done to perfection m8 looks and sounds mint excellent job 💯
Salute to brother, nice looking HQ,love it:)
So perfect and home built too respect.
The sound of the blower amazing
Amazingly beautiful HQ!
Great video, and what a perfectly executed build 🔥👌
That is so tough
Gotta love a car builder with OCD... so hard to find. 🤘😎
Awesome build
Glenn, you must remember one of the old skool Street Machine issue with 'The Terminator' on the front cover??? The Red, Blown, HQ GTS 2 Door! They are in a class of their own! I have a mate, who owns not 1, but TWO GTS Monaro's but in the 4 door. An original factory 350 T400, and an original 308 M21 converted to Toploader & 9''. Beautiful muscle cars the HQ Munro. You just dont see the 2 door HQ's anymore! They are a dying breed!! This purple one is MINT!!
Yes, I remember that issue well!
That thing sounds awesome!!!
It looks like a monster is crawling out from under the hood... oh wait, there IS a monster crawling out from under the hood! Love that big block with blower sound! Nothing like it!
a great car.. great to see a proper resto mod ..
One tuff machine love it and the sounds is great rev rev 💪👍
Beautiful HQ 2 door coupe your did very good work and amazing and the paint job...love the color...
I had a purple one with black from the factory, the white looks fabulous though,🤘👍
I can safely say anyone here would do pretty much anything for a beast like this or to even just hear it
What he said about the rear quarters on these is true..they, along with the XA-B-C series Ford coupes had the sexiest looking rear ends of any cars built here in Oz. though my first love will always be the HK Monaro first and foremost.
Yep, it looks and sounds great but its XB Coupe all the way for me
HT and HG were better looking at the rear for my money, the narrow tail lights did nothing for me, I regret selling my HG munro. But meh, I was a V8 obsessed kid, and it was a 186 S
@@rodneys0909 funnily the 186 s is more valuable than the v8 ones being they're much rarer 👌
Hq n xa xb are definitely the best coupes u can get in oz 👌
Lc torana wasn't far behind though 🤔
@@5lcalais1 I sold my "Copper Bronze" HG Munro for more or less what I paid for it $2k in 1993. Ahh the good old days :(( I coulda bought a restored original numbers HK 327 for $12k or an LS HQ 308 for 4k at that time.I still have a HX 308 Aussie 4speed Prem in storage, though TBH my 2l diesel Golf is more appealing nowadays, and my main squeeze is a 3l diesel Prado. Your outlook changes with age :))
Beautiful car
That Monaro is a great looking car. I see a good bit of 1970-1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS styling in it, including the SS-style rally stripes.
I totally agree!
Some small parts on holdens from this era are the same as the American cars door handles etc.
Everyone has an opinion do it this way,do it that way, stay Original, glad to see you did it your way well done.its perfection on 4 wheels.👍👍
HQ born here 💯💯💯🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
that’s it cars are all about feeling, to some people most don’t get it
sick build ! that come out killer the HQ and looks tuff as...hats off mate good build and the 4 ppl who dislike it must be VW golf drivers haha
im torn between the hq coupe and the xa coupe.. both have their merits
Bloody mint!
Come on in all seriousness they didn't come out with a fast enough engine I think this is exactly how they should be done well done mate it's perfect 😎😉✌🤘
Hq Gts 350 had 225kw ,for it's time it was quick but rare as rocking horse poo, 308 in hq I think was like 190/200kw so they weren't slow tbh ,253 n 202 u can just throw into the harbour 🤣
Hq was good cause they were pre pollution gear, hj in 74 got all that and even the poor ol 308 got knocked down a lowsy 140/150kw or something stupid and the 307 n 350 chev option was gone too ,it's probably the biggest reason Hq's are so saught after.
Personally I'd do exactly what he's done with this one, who doesn't love a blower hanging out the bonnet 👌🤘
Monster 😍
This car is the pin up for every cops nightmare !
my dad has a 2 door gts hq monaro
Perfect
The front end reminds me of an AMC Javelin..
The rear end reminds me of a Chevrolet Chevelle..
She turned out magnificent..
best part is the man built it to please himself..not others..
its his car now in more ways than one..
X-LENT ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hi Glenn, once again so much passion oozing from you. And i have to say it mate this HQ would look good going down the 1000 m event at Temora, what do you say?
Thanks mate. Yes, it'd be a wild ride!
Love the colour. What is it called. Does anyone know what the code is?
Glenn...tip my hat mate...videos getting better all the time...and the sounds!..10 outta 10!..just my personal tip....no music(at all while ya talking)....the car should be the star....and yourself naturally...wish you success !
Thanks mate! These eps were originally produced for TV and the networks all push for music. Thankfully we don't have to worry about it moving forward as all new content from Feb 2021 will be developed specifically for RUclips. Raw sound and very little music if any at all. :-)
Tougher than a $2 steak
Wow!
That car has got twice as much power as my Holden VY SS Commodore & the HQ model is my favourite out of the Kingswoods,my dad used to drive a 202 6 cylinder powered 1972 model wagon,I didn't like how Holden Americanised it in the HJ model when they went for the Cadillac style.
So I liked the HQ's ergonomics the most out of the Kingswoods, it's like I also have a VL Commodore because I liked their style the best & it ran the Nissan engine,the VH Commodore would be second on the list followed by the VB-VC Commodore.
I didn't like how they try to Americanise the VK Commodore by creating the illusion that it was a bigger car by making the instrument cluster & dash which was all boxy in shape !
I need to import one here to Texas.
You'll need some good cash..anywhere between $100,000-200,000 Aussie depending on quality, matching numbers original etc. Personally I love modified.
You should take this thing to the german autobahn
Yeeeeaaaahhh boy!!!!! 😍😍😍👍👍✌✌
That car is beautiful dont get me wrong but that FORD FALCON XA GT COUPE is the tuffest meanest looking aussie car,even Chip Foose American car builder came to Australia to judge a car show said he never seen anything like it he said it was the best looking muscle car in the world he was upset that USA didn't get them
Now ya talkin ))
Awsome vid , ask the bloke if he wants to do a vid on his vl looked Awsome in the back ground
The vl has been sold off mate 👍🏼
@@gmhfan84 what a shame that was a beatuiful car 👌🏼💪🏼
We did cover the VL in the mix as this was shot a while back and it'll be on our next episode. :-)
Hi, is that registered with the Blower? Is it legal? If so I’m doing it with mine! (Victoria)
your dream not everyones dream love it drive it haters are going to hate whatever you do
If the Nightrider had 502 cubic inches and a 6/71 Max wouldn't have been mad, just a bit pissed off for a day or two. HQ is stunning. 👌👌
But i'll still take a black XB. 😀
Make it black on black and thats my dream car.
why why why why why did i sell my monro ...oh that's right kids came along sssshit
What would happen to the car in a cicada storm?
must b a tough job driving these muscle cars? ...but somebody's got a do it...
To rev it
U gotta chev it
The 14 haters must be Ford lovers whose rust buckets are still sitting in the garage
I agree with ol mate...the mini tubs look tough, but the cheese cutter steerers look shit. Y need standards at the front...
That's the drag racer look. :-)
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines Still, shes very pretty...and im a ford bloke👍
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines or just get an xb falcon...they come factory tubbed! Lol!!
My first car was a hq ls 2 door ooupe ... it was ike brand new when i finished it it would probably be worth 170k these days and I still dream about it and it was 24 years ago fuck I miss that car it was gangster
Yeh original..
It's running 427 LSX now isn't it
More than likely he got tired of the attention from the police with that blower.
Trouble is in 20 years time you WILL be Mad Max in the middle of the desert guarding a tanker full of gas if our zero emission neighbours stick to their guns
Ironically looks like the drive was filmed in mad max locations!
Imagine how much it’s worth phew
cut the damn music out SO annoying, cant hear the car . cheers
These eps were produced for TV and the networks require music. For 2021 all content will be specifically produced for RUclips without the need for music, a more raw approach.
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines thanks for the honest answer
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines also thanks for your years of work. I've been watching you on tv for ages - didn't know you had a channel. Subbed
@@bigcheese82 , thanks so much! Great to have you onboard!
lol .. bit of rubber on the roads on the test drive ..
cawlp1 , a bit of a local hangout I’m told.
Master of machines ? Great cars presentation well ? Tone it down a bit
To tone it down would be to change who I am. My passion for cars is lifelong and as real as it gets.
sorry mate missus says she wouldnt let you drive her twin beater,5 speed mixmaster,to powerful for you.lmfao
These cars are so much better looking than the cars of today, car designers have run out of options, that is why we get shitty looking cars today, they all look the same.
Yep, when cars had individual styling and character!
Why is there music over the exhaust note, WHY, Doh
That’s only because this episode was originally produced for and aired on TV, and the networks continually pushed for music. All new content for our channel moving forward will not do the same. Raw engine noise is king.
Hey Glen is that the car you hit a pothole in and the owner lost his shit and tried to kill you ?
What a load of shit! Who told you that?
"accelerates like a gun" ???wtf?
ok, correction - a bullet out of a gun. lol.
Cheese cutters ALWAYS look shit on streeters, they belong on rail cars an thats it.
Yeah not my choice either but as the man said "it's mine and I'll do what I want with it"
Ehh, restored factory condition is boring. It's not like it's pro-stock or anything. This is what the car was meant to be.
Might look the part but completely useless and illegal on Australian roads.. cannot be legally registered or driven ..
He should've done to orginal Monroe what disgrace to Australia
Lol your a tool.. you are the reason we build these cars you jealous bastard..
Disgrace - u fool....
No clue why people like stock cars
Definitely not a disgrace John.
Blah blah.
Colour ....🤮
Mt dream car but nqh was gona sell it but couldn’t get enough to buy tesla so yeah got stuck with it 😂
Love when i see these Australian masterpieces at American car scene specially in my SoCal area
