If it was ? Why didn't anyone build another one.

No it wasn't better than the Cobra now try again

Wot a load of shit. No mention of the HP 179 block, no mention of the X2-179 in the HD series.

So many wrong stats in this, cooper didn’t help design the mini he improved it into the cooper . it didn’t have a1275 engine in the original cooper .

Can't stand the narrator's voice. How is it even possible to mispronounce so many standard words? Era is not pronounded air-uh.

Horrible voice

More AI Bullshit.

Cant stand this guys voice!

And not forgetting it’s Hollywood Star Status in the original 1969 film “The Italian Job” 🇬🇧 🇮🇹

What do you think made the Mini Cooper S such a secret weapon in motorsport?

They don't make cars like this anymore. It's all gender fluid cars now 😂 BS

I love the Mini, never knew about its racing history tho...

My dad knew Max McLeod who sponsored John Goss thru his Ford dealership in Rockdale NSW Australia.

For the people who want a larger motor 434 or bigger . Keep strokin it u will need alot more than a stock block and way more money . A 400 is the perfect size for a quality build .

The 350 was mild performance only . As far as saying leaf spring better than coil spring u need to experience this b4 u comment . Yes u could even order power steering back then ...In the following HQ model the vehicle was a far better handling and stopping car but Holden and GMUsa had changed there mind and selected smaller Torana as the racing vehicle . Vented discs as a racing part even appeared on Torana .

John Goose special😂😂

A 2bbl 302 made 180bhp. 2bbl 351 made 250 with a bit more compression. I have owned these cars in multiples and they were more akin to the 253 Holden. Another asthmatic 2bbl gunker. With a decent [not race] cam and a 4bbl they go ok. Still not 240hp though. They need many more mods to do that. Short stroke long rod engine though has a potential to make decent power. Needs compression meaning pistons, bigger cam, springs, roller rockers, screw in studs etc etc and will make 300 325hp and rev to 7000 rpm plus. And have little bottom end.

it was unstopable the brakes where shit

why is this mirror image

These were just a two door body with a few stickers and some gauges and a sports steering wheel and the GS suspension pack. Nothing special. Just a Ford promo to get rid of a few bits and pieces from the parts bin. GM did it with the LE two door.

Typical Yank not knowing the full history. The HD Holden has a 179 X2 Engine option with Twin Stromberg Carbs. No mention by this punter about that performance improvement on the 179. 😮

Why a 302? That’s not special..

i liked the video.ive had lots of monaros .the sooks complaining about the video can go and have a big girly spooky fing waaa waaa

I had a XB Fairmont Coupe, 351 and fitted with a 4 barrel 650 cfm 4 barrel Holley carby. It did SING

The john goss special was quicker then the xbgt even though it was only a 302. I had both

Yanks are full of rubbish , showing roller rockers on an eh , what a load of rubbish 😂😂😂😂😂😂

What do you think made this car so unstoppable?

What’s your favorite Bathurst-inspired car?

RUST BUCKET AND NO LEGEND AT ALL .

Was good seeing the classic boot pop from the rear axle tramp! Happened as soon as you got to 400 hp without fitting tramp rod's! Lol'd when he said the brakes were ok, he's obviously never driven one! 3 bigs stop's and the the brake fluid was boiling and the pedal was mush! Thought you would know the the difference between the HT HK & HG! You showed all 3 dashes! This is what happens when you write a script from other people's work not knowing it yourself

XR GT Falcon was Australia 's first Muscle Car and demolished everyone at Bathurst 1967 . Monaro 327 was introduced to keep up with Ford . XT GT Falcon was outgunned by 327 Monaro in 1968 Bathurst and won Holden's first Bathurst . XW GT HO would slaughter a HT 350 Monaro . HT 350 Monaro won Bathurst because Ford ordered Soft Sprint Tyres instead of hard endurance Tyres and had to Pit every 10 Laps for New Tyres . Ford gave Monaro 1969 Bathurst on a Plate .Only 700 HT 350 Monaros were built , the rest were shitheap 307 Automatics or even worse 186 and 161 Six cylinder Garbage . Falcon GT was only ever the Top tier Falcon . An XY GT HO cost $ 5,200 in 1971 , 300 built , maybe 50 left , today worth up to $ 1 Million .I'm certainly not knocking the 350 Monaro, I owned one , they're great but you make them sound like World Beaters which is nonsense .They rode like a Truck , the Brakes were useless , that wonderful Steering Wheel would cut your Hands to Ribbons and the Vinyl Bucket Seats would Cook your Arse in Summer and let you slide into the passenger seat on right turns . But it was nice looking I must admit .

CRAPPY CLIP

Absolute rubbish production, commentator has no idea what he is talking about, car has NZ registration and mirror images don’t do anything for the quality of the video. I turned off after the first minute.

Some bad footage showing the Monaro as LH drive. Not correct. Number plates and engine size script back to front.Get it right.

It effectively de valued the Monaro If you regard that as desirable… Soo be it !

" 350 chev can be " stroked " to " 427 " or " 440 !" ( thank me later

" ill say it again " " oh what a lovely car !" 😮😮😮 😊😊

Why do you repeat Repeat REPEAT REPEAT EVERY point?

GMH’s greed ruined the Monaro by supplying them with any size motor You could have one with a 186 … Whereas the ford GT was 351 only and had limited numbers The GTS was made in larger numbers and never kept as a special model

Sort yourself out, HT Monaro was NOT manufactured in left hand drive. No credibility whatsoever.

Great video 😊❤

Perhaps an honorary mention is in order for Toyota's 20R engine used in the 1975-1979 Celica. The 20R was simple, reliable, and peppy for the 70s era.

You must be kidding Holdens ,whilst they were very reliable, were never race cars They were much smaller than the opposition both Chrysler and ford were bigger and more powerful This story is all BS

The 13B rotary engines were also produced by Mazda in the 70s very poor gas mileage but they also packed a punch and make alot of power for such a small engine, Mazdas being a light weight sports cars, power to weight ratio were insane at the time, the engine sitting far back in the engine bay gave them a perfect balance with not many moving engine internals they're the smothest engine to drive

And A Ford Cortina Won '63 Bathurst

How boring is AI commentry

a lot of repetitive fluff, repeated over and over....
