Just when I thought I'd seen all the muscle cars out there, this video proves me wrong! 🌟 These 30 Australian beasts are absolutely wild! 🚗💨 Which one was your favorite? Mine was the 1976 HOLDEN Monaro HX LE COUPE. Don't forget to like and subscribe for more hidden gems like these! 🏁🔥
Is this your personal ranking of the cars?
I'm wondering how the falcon xygt 351 phase III was only 25th.. it's easily top3.
I prefer the look compared to mad max black ford falcon 1973 xb gt 351.
The xa imho is just xy coupes.
Much like when Holden brought out the monaro again, but it was just a vt coupe.
The original monaro with it's own shaped looked so much better than the remake.
Im quite enjoying the video (m up to the 83 rpo, but had to ask that first question.
I see all the negative stuff you been copping...
I'll just say the cars are old, n the way your are presenting them, makes me feel like I'm watching an old TV show... so it kinda matches 😊
I appreciate seeing all these vehicles, but it's completely full of mistakes. For example you're showing some clips of Holden 304 V8's instead of the Falcon EB GT
There are some cars that could be included, no mention of one HSV Clubsport VN VP VR VS VT
Hi I'm not sure what the TR0LLS are on about, but your video is fine and you DON'T come across as selling anything. IGNORE the negative TR0LLS they don't speak for the rest of us 😎 I enjoyed the video it's been a while since I seen some these beauties 😇
Thanks so much for your kind words and support! 😎 It means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the video and appreciated seeing those classic beauties. We love sharing content that brings joy and nostalgia. What was your favorite part, or which car would you love to see more of in future videos? 😇@@user-pf1en2gr4b
Thanks for pointing out the discrepancies, especially about the Holden 304 V8 and Falcon EB GT mix-up. We're committed to improving the accuracy of our content and really appreciate such detailed feedback. You mentioned the HSV Clubsport series-great suggestion! Which other models do you think should be featured to give a fuller picture of muscle car history? @@stevo184
Sorry guys , so many mistakes here
Makes you wonder why some entity would go to so much trouble to mangle our valuable automotive history?
Looks deliberate & creepy to me.
Apologies for the slip-ups! We’re always looking to improve and your input is crucial. Appreciate your help!
I can understand why it might feel that way, and it's definitely not our intention to misrepresent or diminish the rich history of automotive culture. We strive for accuracy and genuinely value corrections and insights from knowledgeable viewers like you. Could you help point out the inaccuracies?

AI generated word-salad bullshit video.
Sorry to hear that the video didn't meet your expectations. I'm always looking to improve, so if you have specific feedback, I’d appreciate it. Thanks for your input.

To remedy the glaring problem, you & I would have to run slowly through the entire presentation from start to finish & edit images & narrative. It could be done and it should be done.
The problem begins right from the starting point hand drawn artwork.... Not representative of any Australian car.
Things get really out of shape soon after when you show images of what you assert are 1968 HK GTS 327 Monaros. They're not. They're 1969 HT 350 GTS Monaros & having someone who obviously doesn't know tell us it is so, is bothersome. Please find the time to fix this thing. It's sick & it runs like a dog with a busted leg.
Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. It’s clear that there are significant inaccuracies that need addressing, and your expertise could be invaluable in getting things right. I'm committed to producing content that is both informative and accurate, and I agree that a thorough walk-through of the presentation with knowledgeable input like yours is essential. Thank you again for your willingness to help improve this content.@@johnbrooks9523

I'm done with trying to assist you with correcting your myriad mistakes. After investing over two hours typing up detailed corrections for you, YT erased my work midtype. This has NEVER EVER occurred before. You can shove your despicable settings & expect flack wherever you appear. Loading the public up with rubbish will attract appropriate attention.
I understand that you spent a significant amount of time typing out detailed corrections for a TH-cam video, only to have your work erased before you could complete it. This kind of technical issue can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you're trying to provide helpful feedback. It's understandable that you would feel discouraged by this experience.@@johnbrooks9523
At 37:00 the car is actually a special VL Wilkinshaw edition. And it had a V8. Not a Turbo 6cyl. There was a VL Turbo model though, that did have the 3 litre Nissan 6cyl Turbo Engine. Like a Nissan GTR, but a 3 litre.
Thanks for pointing that out! You're right, that car at 37:00 is indeed a special VL Walkinshaw edition with a V8, not a Turbo 6cyl. It's important to get these details right, so I appreciate your help in correcting that. The VL Turbo model with the 3-liter Nissan 6cyl Turbo Engine sounds like a powerhouse as well. Your knowledge is invaluable in ensuring accuracy in these discussions!
interesting side note: they detuned the nissan 6 turbo (with holden rocker cover) so that the V8 would out perform it and hopefully keep sales going because lets face it.... the RB is a MONSTER !!!
The Wilinshaw was also de-stroked for the race track to keep things competitive with the fords. The homogenized street version was more powerful than the actual race cars that year. It was the most powerful car Australia ever made for at least another couple decades. It was also the last of the homogenized cars sold. Meaning that Holden and ford no longer had to produce for public sale a minimum of 500 cars that were going to be raced each year. Holden had real problems with warranty due to the Cam and solid lifters they were breaking at the rockers. Pretty sure it was the mounts on the head not holding up. So to use these motors and get away from the warranty issues. They put the motors in station wagons with standard manifold and exhaust and mostly they were sold to companies used for sales reps to do business in. There were a few stories getting around of the odd freak station wagon that out performed all the others. And over the years the story came out about them being put in station wagons some people have been lucky enough to find some. I know of one that was found in a family wagon by accident. So rather than scrap the car he actually had the engine rebuilt and kept the wagon. That was a long time ago now and I've no idea what become of the car now.
sorry, I gave up during the Monaro, I'm sure it was only the HK that had the 327, the HT, which was also shown had the 350.
Thanks for the clarification-your knowledge of Monaros is impressive! I apologize for the confusion in the video. I'll revisit the details and make sure future content accurately reflects the correct models and specs. Your feedback is invaluable and helps tremendously in maintaining the accuracy of our videos. Thank you for taking the time to share this!
Your Correct
It does say muscle cars you’ve never heard of - I’ve never never heard of a HT Monaro 327 haha

68 Monaro 327,, so shows a HT 350! And there was well over 2000 made.
Pacer, initially shows a VF slant 6 but later shows a VG with 245 hemi.
GTR X. A concept car that was never released.
LC XU1,, a car that was NEVER driven to a Bathurst win. That was the model after. Also XU1 and 'normal' GTR were different cars.
After this I gave up!
I really appreciate you taking the time to point out these details-it's clear you know your stuff! I apologize for the mistakes in the video and thank you for the corrections. I’ll make sure to double-check my sources and details more carefully in future videos. Your insights are incredibly helpful to ensure the accuracy and quality of the content. Thank you again!
It's pronounced Holden MonARo, not MONaro.
Got it, thanks for the correction! Pronunciation can vary, but it's great to know the preferred way. Do you have a favorite Monaro model?
Torana not Toronto
But appreciate the recognition of Australian muscle car history 👍
Oops, Torana, not Toronto-thanks for the sharp eye! Really glad you appreciate our nod to Australian muscle car history. We love celebrating these iconic rides. Got a favorite Torana model?
I met all those cars... owned some back in the day.
That sounds like a fantastic experience! Owning such iconic cars must have given you some memorable moments.
Do you have a favorite story or a particular car that stands out in your memories?
I’d love to hear more about your adventures with them!
Every time an American dose a video on Australian cars it’s one mistake after another! Difficult to watch with so many mistakes

@@AmericanMuscles
There are so many mistakes, it's irritating to the point of excruciation.
You've gone to all this trouble to produce something that many would enjoy & made a shocking mess of it.
We love our unique to Australia homegrown high performance cars & we're more than happy for the whole world to see them & learn about them. When we see & hear so many glaring mistakes, it's borderline insulting.
The commentary needs to be redone without the mistakes & the images need proper sorting. Many of the cars shown are customised & or extensively modified & have no place in this presentation. Some of the customised cars you show bear ugly tasteless customisations best fogotten. Some models do not match your descriptions. You describe a Series Production virtually standard HDT HT 350 GTS like it's a one of... It isn't. A GTR & a GTR XU-1 are substantially different cars. An LJ Torana shown by you IS NOT AN LC TORANA AS DESCRIBED BY YOU.
The mistakes carry on with the Valiants as well. The whole thing needs a rebuild since it is so far out of whack.
I can promise you this: You need to fix this mess or you'll attract some really upsetting coments, destroy your own credibility & look like a fool.
Kindly consult an Aust car enthusiast & straighten out this foolishness.
Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. I truly appreciate your passion for Australian high-performance cars and understand how important accuracy is to enthusiasts like yourself.
I apologize for the errors and the frustration they caused. I’m committed to correcting these mistakes and will consult with a knowledgeable Australian car enthusiast to ensure the content is accurate and respectful of the automotive legacy.

@@AmericanMuscles
We struggle with this problem every day. Interested folk consult the internet seeking information on unique to Australia interesting performance cars. The internet is littered with faulty information regarding this subject. Even many Australians make mistakes when describing cars & history because they simply do not know any better.
Arguments start when those misinformed haggle with those who actually know. To add insult to injury, a rotten pack of greedy globalist bastards decided in 1978 to destroy Australia's world class highly competitive automotive industry which led to the total loss of all the wonderful manufacturers who saw fit to create these great cars you showcase. IE: We're hurting because we'll never see any more great new Australian cars ever again. It's vitally important under the circumstances to do exactly as you have done in showcasing these amazing & potent cars. We just have to make a better effort to gets the facts in order. A pedigreed factory high performance car is worth showing. You have included some seriously ugly customised cars which, in all honesty, look decidedly overdone, gawdy & rather tasteless. Our manufacturers did a damn good job on most of our factory high performance cars & those are what you describe when you show many that are borderline privately mangled.
You have sufficient images of suitable cars interspersed with some crud. Some editing could quickly remedy this. The narrative also desperately needs edit. It's quite fixable. You really need an older Aussie enthusiast who was around when all these cars were produced & who paid attention. A few of us survive. Aust car enthusiasts love Aust factory high performance cars. We're protective of them & their history.
Every time a bogan makes a comment they're identified because they can't spell "does".
It's ironic that you mention mistakes...
All these cars are absolutely amazing. But the ford and FPV vehicles are my favorite, I just wish those cars were available in the USA 🇺🇸
You guys have the Australian Ford XR-XY body shape in a coupe
I totally agree, the Ford and FPV models are incredible! It's a shame they're not readily available in the USA. Who knows, maybe we'll see them on American roads in the future. Fingers crossed!🤞 What's your favorite model from these brands?
Ford and FPV are Junk.
@@AmericanMusclesWho would want one, they are Junk.
@@user-fb7qu8lu7sonly straight guys like Fords 😉
Common Australian cars back then,oi oi oi
Oi oi oi! Absolutely, those cars defined an era down under. It’s great to celebrate the classics that have left such a strong legacy. Which model do you think was the real standout of that time?
@@AmericanMuscles GTHO 111. A9X, E49, GTS 427 ( love the sprint 6) The best answer i can give you
Those are some legendary picks! The GTHO Phase III, A9X, E49 Charger, and the GTS 427 are all icons of muscle car history. That Sprint 6 must be a thrill to see in action. Do you have personal stories with any of these, or are they on your dream car list?@@jimclarke1108
Ok buckle up my Fav TORANAS 21:50
That sounds exciting! Toranas are such iconic cars. Which models are your favorites?
No mention of the 1990 hsv senator but show a 2016-17 vf.
Thanks for pointing that out! The 1990 HSV Senator definitely deserves a mention, and it's an oversight on our part for missing it. Are there other models or years you feel should be highlighted in our coverage of HSVs?
Oh no, talks about E49 Charger then shows V8 engine. FAIL!
Many pictures of wrong models. FAIL!
Too many incorrect details to list here. FAIL!
Only got half way through and gave up.
I’m really sorry to hear about the confusion and the frustration it caused. It’s crucial for us to get these details right, especially for iconic models like the E49 Charger. We definitely don’t want to spread misinformation. Your feedback is invaluable, and I’d be grateful if you could help us by pointing out some specific errors when you have the time. We’re here to improve and provide the best content possible. Thanks for giving it a chance, and I hope we can do better next time!
XB Falcoon Barge arse Coupe.
Love the nickname! The XB Falcon Coupe really has a unique style. Got a favorite feature about it?
THIS PRESENTATION IS RUBBISH!
I'm sorry to hear that you didn't find the presentation to your liking. Your feedback is valuable in improving future content.
Funny lookin' EB GT at 41:00 😅😅. Yea must be limited alright.
Looks like we stumbled upon the rare and elusive 'EB GT Limited Edition Funny Lookin'' model! 😄 Thanks for catching that-sometimes the details are as entertaining as the cars themselves! Do you have a favorite funny moment from the world of cars?
believe it or not, EBGT is RARER than XYGT i think only 300 or so made.. i used to go to the shops in a brand new cardinal red eb... my best mate still has it
i had thje 74 xb gs panel van with the 302v8 cleveland, 4 barrel email/carter thermo quad carb, borg warner 4sp top loader box
The video of the VN SS while he was talkin bout the EB GT was pretty funny. Luv seein Aussie Muscle cars though....No matter the inconsistencies.
Thats what i thought , and still plenty missing in the video.
Thanks for taking the mix-up in stride! It’s great to hear you enjoyed seeing the Aussie muscle cars despite the inconsistencies. We're working to tighten up our content, but it's fans like you who make the journey worthwhile.
Do you have a favorite story or a particular car that stands out in your memories?
Appreciate your insight! We definitely want to cover as many iconic cars as possible. Which ones do you think should be added to really round out the video?@@doriankeating1963
F6 typhoon with its 6 cylinder bar engine 😂😂😂😂😂😂 B A R R A its like barrow but finished with an Ah sound instead of Ow sound and its easily built to 1000hp plus best arguably the best motor on this list due to big hp backed up with awesome reliability
😂 Thanks for the correction on the Barra pronunciation and for highlighting the F6 Typhoon! That engine is indeed a beast-capable of some serious power while keeping reliability in check. It's great to hear from someone who appreciates what the Barra can do.
Do you think it outperforms other engines on our list in terms of overall capabilities?
“Mon are row” not “Mona row”. But you got better as the video progressed. They spent a lot of time on drag strips and race tracks. I know, I got the chance to sit in one that flipped from racetrack to road car overnight.
It sounds like you've had some incredible experiences! Thanks for the correction on the pronunciation-getting those right definitely adds to the authenticity and enjoyment of the content. The versatility of these cars is just amazing, isn't it?
Flipping from a racetrack warrior to a road car overnight must have been something to see. Do you have any favorite stories or moments from those days that stand out to you?
@@AmericanMuscles As a teenager I had two older cousins, brothers that talked race car performance constantly. The purchased a striking Holden V8 Monaro GTS, bright yellow with black GTS strips from front to back just off centre. The road car could be flipped to race track configuration by stripping interior seating and fitting racing wheels and tyres. The sound of the engine just idling sent tingles down the spine, any acceleration was like an angry beast coming to life. The coolest cousins one could have, both went onto business in the construction industry. Young people today have now idea. Electric cars can certainly out perform these dinosaurs, but whiteout the soundtrack.
Your playing to a tough crowd dude cause we live, breath and know nearly every nut on these machines. Just a bit of research couldve corrected basic mistakes like their names I mean even my 5yr old kids know a Wilkinshaw fuel injection and twin throttle body 304ci v8. Have a Torana SLR 5000 so i love u showing these though there was a noticeable absence of blue meanie a HDT VK GroupA Commodore, 1972 HQ 2dr Monaro 350ci and perhaps ESP 351ci XD falcon.
You're definitely right about the level of knowledge and passion in the community! It’s crucial to get the details spot-on, especially with such an informed audience. I really appreciate the specifics you've pointed out and the reminder to double-check even the basics. Thanks for giving the video a chance despite the omissions.
We'll make sure to include the Blue Meanie, the HDT VK Group A Commodore, the '72 HQ Monaro, and the ESP 351ci XD Falcon in future content to cover all these legendary machines comprehensively. Which of these is your absolute favorite to see in action?
Most of the complaints here are from Holden fans 😂
Seems like the Holden crew is in full force! 😂 Love the passion. What do you all think sets Holden apart from the rest?
Yeah I don't understand any of these complaints, I'm as much a car lover as the next guy, I've had 21 cars in my life I'm also a registered mechanic. It's a shame we see so many negative ppl visit channels like this. Your right though it's the Holden fans whining
Ok. I'll just say the Monaro Highway in New South Wales Australia is a Great "fun" Road and a highlight on the Drive from Sydney to Gippsland Victoria, ( Cann River, Sub tropical rainforest is challenging)
That sounds like an incredible drive! The Monaro Highway definitely seems like a must-try route for any car enthusiast. Thanks for sharing this gem-nothing like a challenging road through beautiful landscapes to make a trip memorable. Have you got any favorite stops along the way?
@@AmericanMuscles Cooma N.S.W.. is nice, Gateway to the snowy mountains, Nimmitabel,N.S.W. historical, Great overnight rest stop, Orbost. VIC. Friendly sweet town ( Real Australia) beautiful River , close to the Sea,( Wild coast) and Beaches , then all Gippsland is Special.
It’s MON AR O.
Got it, thanks for the pronunciation tip-Mon-ar-o it is! Always good to get it right, especially with such an iconic car. 😊
Why don't you just state the facts and not carry on like a used car salesman?
Thanks for your feedback! I aim to make my videos informative and engaging, and I appreciate your perspective. I'll definitely keep your preference for a more straightforward style in mind for future videos. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Exactly like would’ve been a cool video. If it didn’t feel like you were trying to sell me each car and an extended warranty just shut up lol.
Because the script is AI sourced I'm thinking...
Thanks for that feedback! I definitely aim for informative content rather than a sales pitch, so I’ll take your comments on board and focus more on sharing passion and knowledge about the cars without making it feel commercial.

Brocky got credit for the Walky ... ha ha ha ha ... Murica
Ha, good catch! It's always interesting to see how legends like Brocky get intertwined with icons like the Walkinshaw. It's a small world, even in the car community! What's your favorite Brocky or Walkinshaw moment?
For me, it was always Torana
That was some flowery language to describe some cool but rough’n’ready old bangers! I had a few of them and they looked and sounded beautiful and were ok in a straight line but except for the Walkinshaw Commodore and A9X and the later 90s through 2010s cars, the early 90s, 80s, 70s and 60s cars had live axles and leaf spring rear ends.
But full points to you for effort. The AI voice did very well mostly except for little things like “…five eight” and “le coup” I know there’s the “LeBaron” in the USA but LE stood for Limited Edition and was pronounced like “Elle Ee” but they didnt put full stops like L.E. on the badges so that’s an understandable mistake.
The SL/E Commodore could come with 4.2 or 5.0 V8s but also with 3.3 sixes and truly terrible 1.9litre 4 cylinders so it was just a family sedan really. But lots of them were hotted up by kids in the late 80s and early 90s so you get away with that I suppose.
Good effort but I would say the language was a little bit too flattering🤓👍
I'm truly sorry to hear the video didn't meet the mark, and I appreciate your honesty. It’s important we get the facts right, especially about Australian car culture, which has its unique aspects and challenges. Thank you for helping us improve.
Oh,deary,deary me. So little research shows immediately & continues downward from there. The AI commentary does nothing for its presentation. So many cars shown have no resemblance to the description........wrong models,modified examples & just plain wrong......C-- must do much better.........

The gtrx wasn't a concept car, my dads friend printed the brochures and was about to be produced but the bean counters canned it.
10:58 they were never released in a 'UTE' ........ 11:06 that's actually a standard XWGT with 2v 351 windsor motor (with HO front lip) which came out before the XYGT.... you can tell the difference easily by the side bonnet scoop, different stripes.. the GTHO had front/ rear (boot) spoiler performance globe wheels instead of the 5 or 12 slotters, XYGT (HO) came with a 4V 351 Cleveland.

Are there other aspects you think we should revisit or clarify?
Yep ,with a 289 power plant.
#12 is a Tom Walkinshaw created VL SS Group A , Peter Brock owned HDT and built the earlier Group A. The "Walky" was a 5.0 V8, turbo 6 wasn't an option. 750 cars made.
Thanks for the great details! The history behind the VL SS Group A 'Walky' is truly fascinating-such an iconic piece of automotive engineering. It's awesome to see the knowledge and passion in this community. Do you have a favorite among the 750 made?
Brock never owned HDT. He was affiliated with them and then released.
Oh my god so many facts right, most wrong. My first car was a VJ Charger which with help from a very good friend we turned it into a R/T replica, I also had a hand in helping him rebuild a genuine 2 door Hemi six pack Pacer. As his dad was the local Chrysler/Valiant dealer, with in house mechanic shop and body repair. He closed up after Mitsubishi bought Chrysler out in the 80s., but his son continued to work on and rebuild old Val's and Mitsubishis, everything from Chrysler Le Barons, 2 door coupes, the charger was never classed as a coupe rego was classed as sedan, even Starions, 2 door Scorpions, 770s god I had fun back then. My VJ charger and V8 XD S pack are the only cars I have ever regretted selling.
Wow, what a fantastic journey with cars you've had! Turning your VJ Charger into an R/T replica must have been an incredible project, especially with such a close connection to the local Chrysler/Valiant scene. It’s great to hear about the passion that kept the spirit alive even after the Mitsubishi takeover. I’d love to hear more about your projects, like the rebuild of the genuine Pacer. Any favorite memories or stories from those days? It's clear those cars weren't just vehicles; they were part of your life's adventure!
@@AmericanMuscles streaming at the moment the VG 2 door Pacer was a wreck at a local gold mine community my mate bought off the owner and discovered the original Hemi Six pack decals under the paint and the bumble bee stripes as well
@@AmericanMuscles I'm right know, My CHARGER was originally a E55 VJ V8 more then likely a 318, not the Fireball. Auto on the tree. (Colum shift). With the challenger/cuda style grill original yellow. When I received it it had a 245 Hemi six transplant, 3 speed manual with floor shift kit, sun roof, mags with the 4 square driving lights and the the grill for the later model to suit . Needless to say we turned it into a replica of the E38 R/T which was 3 spd on the floor, the E49 WAS 4 speed and both where powered by the mighty 265 Hemi. I was minus the triple carbs and 265 so instead we dropped a 350 Holley on worked 245 which we both rebuilt with pacemaker headers. It used to snap gear box and engine mounts all the time. We even thought about using chain. We did some work on that little 245 Hemi. I was much younger then my mate he took me under his wing when I bought my charger and helped me out a lot during the mid 80s rebuilding it I was 17 with a CHARGER R/T HEMI SIX Pack replica White with all the R/T Trim and jelly bean alloy mags🤣🤣🤣 and it Hammered for a six.

We made very few cars that were actually muscle cars, most being underpowered and choked by emissions control, most just made really good tow cars.
I'm truly sorry to hear the video didn't meet the mark, and I appreciate your honesty. It’s important we get the facts right, especially about Australian car culture, which has its unique aspects and challenges. I’d be grateful if you could point out some specific inaccuracies so we can correct them. Thank you for helping us improve.
Bs we made plenty and there are plenty more not mentioned in this video, you must be young an uninformed.

We want horsepower & torque stats & 0-60 mph times homie, not a read from the sales brochure.
Point taken! We'll make sure to focus more on the horsepower, torque stats, and 0-60 times that really show what these machines can do. Thanks for the feedback-it’s crucial for making our content what you really want to see.
You should see what we're all driving now. 4.2lt twin turbo V8s with less power than an AU forte
That's quite a shift in engine technology! It's amazing how much power they can get from smaller, turbocharged engines these days. Are you a fan of the new trend, or do you prefer the older, larger engines?
Dick cheese your clueless on Australian muscle. 90s ford have nothing on Holden VN GROUP A GTSR 😅EL GT PLEASE
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Love the passion for Holden-clearly a favorite for many! I’ll definitely dive deeper into the VN Group A GTSR and other iconic Australian muscle cars in future content. Appreciate the nudge! 😄
Talking about a Falcon and shows a Commodore. Talks about a 265 Hemi R/T and shows a V8.
Just full of so many errors.
Thanks for pointing out the discrepancies! I appreciate your keen eye for detail. I'll make sure to be more precise in future videos. Your feedback helps improve the quality of the content. Cheers!
why is the stering wheel on the left not the right
Because here in Australia, we drive on the left-hand side of the road.
Thanks for catching that! Unlike 66% of the world's population, Australians abide by left-hand traffic laws.
Oh dear, some nice photos but the video is riddled with errors. AI generated I suspect.
It's funny how when they were on about the VH E49 R/T charger, not one single hemi 6 nor triple webber carb setup was shown.......😝
😝 You're right, that was a major oversight on our part-no Hemi 6 or triple Weber carbs in sight when they absolutely should've been! Thanks for your keen observation.
It’s Holden HX Monaro L E Coupe …..( Limited Edition)
Thanks for the specifics on the Holden HX Monaro LE Coupe! The Limited Editions have such a unique place in car history. What do you love most about them?
The LE Coupe is not a Monaro , never was 😊
Thanks for the correction! It’s great to have knowledgeable viewers like you keeping the facts straight. Always happy to learn more from the experts. 😊@@treeusher3452
after a quater of the video i have to leave now… this music drives me nuts…
Ruining our history is looking more & more deliberate the more I study the comments. Everything about this "thing" appears to be intentionally & deeply misleading & therefore... sinister.
Thanks for hanging in there! Sorry the music wasn’t a hit for you-definitely want to keep it enjoyable for everyone. What's your go-to music for watching videos? I'm all ears for suggestions! Your feedback really helps us improve.
I'm really sorry to hear that the video came across that way. It's definitely not my intention to mislead or misrepresent our history.

"Our history"? Really? You're not attacking your history. You're attacking mine. I am a human being with a history worthy of preservation. Just exactly, what are you?
XAGT HO.... there was only 4 (EDIT: PHASE 4) (sedans) built.......2 written off, (as far as i know, one by a ford employee who had special ordered it himself)) remaining 2 cars, one, owned by (previously or still) a Sydney dentist and the other one's location is unknown....
Thanks for that fascinating detail about the XA GT HO Phase 4! It’s incredible how few of those exist and the stories they carry with them. It’s always interesting to hear about the journey of such rare cars. Do you follow the histories of other rare or unique Australian cars as well?
@@AmericanMusclesmy pleasure 👍i'm an automotive enthusiast so enjoy seeing/ learning as much as i can..
hello from Melbourne, Australia
ignore my tag its a HARDTOP not a coupe big difference they had 3 engines a 6 302 and 351
Thanks for emphasizing that distinction! I see now the importance of differentiating between a hardtop and a coupe, and the engine options like the 6, 302, and 351 are indeed crucial details. I'll make sure to get these specifics right in the future. Your expertise is truly appreciated, and it's helping to improve the accuracy of our content. Thanks again!
So Ford is the only vehicle sold in Australia?
Yanks Always get everything wrong in these videos
Appreciate the feedback! Always aiming to improve. What specifics should we correct?
For a start, Australian manufacturers use a two letter code to distinguish between different models as they often are built for than one year. The Monaro GTS 327 was designated HK. The HDT Monaro was a race car raced by the Holden Dealer Team and not its own model and was actually a HT Monaro GTS 350 . There are so many other things inncorect with this video that I don't have the time to list them all. One main problem is not including the car that started the muscle car wars in Australia. The XR Falcon GT, wich was released in 1967.
@@AmericanMuscles blaspheme ! "how dare you!" The 1990 senator, I thinki seen one 90's the rest are VE/VF senators from 05-13. You picked a great list thou.
Too many inaccuracies in the commentary with the cars shown. To many of the wrong models shown while commentating on another model. Not enough research done which makes this a poor quality and inaccurate show. Next consider using an Australian to put a show on about Australian cars.
Thank you for your honest feedback. I apologize for the inaccuracies and appreciate you pointing them out. Ensuring accurate and high-quality content is very important to me, and I'll definitely take your suggestions into account for future videos.

@@AmericanMuscles there are that many things wrong you should have a Australian expert sit with you while they are all pointed out and then you can redo the entire video with the correct cars shown with the commentary.

Pronunciation "Muh·neuh·row" said like a proper Ozzie Bogan which shortens all the vowels with the exception of the 'O' which is emphasized.
All you really need to focus on is Holden winning Bathurst with 35 victories compared to Fords 21 victories.
Ohhhh the Ford that you needed to add is Max's car,
"The Last of the V8's" th-cam.com/video/EK2ijfxqlnY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=J3hVPjCHdUDJKK3b
Love the pronunciation tips and the deep dive into Bathurst stats-Holden's dominance is definitely a highlight in Australian racing history! And you're right about Max’s car, 'The Last of the V8s.' It's such an iconic piece of cinema and car culture.
Thanks for bringing that up! Do you think any car can ever match the legendary status of Max's V8?
Yes Gm did win more times and it was easy with unlimited GMH backing Ford drivers were privateers Dick and Allan for example perhaps if they had had unlimited funds which was denied but proven a lie they would have done better like Peter did .👍👍
Yes the 2 door Monaro was and still is a classic, I own a ford XD fully restored 1979 XDA third month third day of the assembly line may I add the 2 door HK that you showed in the beginning showing it as a 327 actually had a 350 with four barrel flow carbs feeding fuel gave up at 02:08 computer generated voice , interesting clikas baiticas though. Gone ..............and yes I owned a two door Monaro way back then . I very rarely put up trash warnings on this upload I do hello from down under.
Thanks so much for sharing your insights and experiences! It’s awesome to hear about your restored Ford XD and your history with the Monaro. Apologies for the mix-up on the engine specs-I'll make sure to get those details sharper in the future. I really value your feedback, as it helps me improve.

4dr muscle car in the U.S. people say 2 doors to many
That’s a fun perspective on muscle cars! It’s true, in the U.S., there’s a big love for the classic two-door style. But four-door muscle cars definitely have their own appeal with more practicality. What’s your take on the ideal muscle car configuration?
I'm sure the intent was pure but fark me that is a hard watch.
Absolutely, I can see how that mix-up made it a tough watch! Thanks for sticking with it though, and for your honest feedback. I'll strive to make sure future content is more on point. Cheers for the heads up! 🙌"
First off, showing The HK 327 & HT 350 Monaro's as the same car was just wrong...stopped watching after that.
What a load of bull
Australian muscle cars where and are
American cars in Drag
None were Australian only cars
All wholly owned American subsideries
Thanks for sharing your view! You bring up a valid point about the origins of many Australian muscle cars being tied to American companies. It's fascinating how these cars were adapted and became iconic in their own right in Australia, developing a distinct identity. I appreciate the insight and the opportunity to delve deeper into their history and significance.

some of these cars shown are NOT standard and have been customised. The Ford Falcon GT was never built in a ute in any model. you're showing fkn holdens and calling them EB GT's ... you need to study your subject matter B4 you try to portray knowledge of Aussie Muscle cars

A VB Comodore come on you lost me at about this point in the video. Deserves recognition for being a bucket of gutless junk far from anything muscular, its a travesty to even think it in the class of others. May aswell put in a Mazda 1300 as a muscle car because it out perfomed the VB......... please
Well I thought I stumbled on something there. Well I did, mistake after mistake and AI by the sounds of it.
the steering wheel is on the wrong side

The monaro was a terrible rust bucket and no competition for a Falcon GT.
Great point about the Monaro and Falcon GT! Rust aside, what do you think sets the Falcon GT apart? Love hearing different views on this!
My HK Monaro was amazing…Fords were poorly assembled.
@@kallekas8551 Gmh interior and door trims and seats were garbage and their guages were garbage also compared to a Falcon GT The HK monaro had the Taco screwed onto the consloe lol what rubbish, XR GT had the tacho in the dash and it worked as well.
@@mickden3155 I remember people complaining about the tacho position…you change gears by feel of the revs anyway. I have a friend who has a XY in original excellent condition, the paint and panel fit is abysmal. Also I would rather have a sleek coupe than a taxi… Falcon GTs are hugely overrated, I have been in an original Phase 3 and can’t work out what the fuss is about.
@@kallekas8551 I owned a genuine XY GT 4 sp JG33 my shaker had good paint and the panels lined up well i used to work at a Ford dealership in the crash shop when i owned it. they were a better car than a GTS Monaro especially gearbox and diff and went harder as well i agree with you on the over rated bit i have owned much better and today i have a 2021 Mustang GT shit all over any older GT or Monaro and doesn't drink fuel.

Oh you think your car is awesome? Holden my beer!
WHY are you showing a holden & not the EB GT Falcon ?
The Ford Falcon XR GT was the 1st not this.
Monaro not monero. A not E.
Nothing but a done up nova what does anyone think the last GTO was ? You guessed it a holden that is a company affiliated with GM that by the way has gone kooky and woke and brain washed
Spot on about the GTO's origins as a Holden! It's fascinating how global partnerships influence car designs. What are your thoughts on the impact of such affiliations on car quality and brand identity?

wtf
