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.
@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.
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.
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 💪👍❤️
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.
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
@@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 :))
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!!
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!
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 !
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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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 👌🤘
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 TH-cam. Raw sound and very little music if any at all. :-)
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
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?
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. 😀
These eps were produced for TV and the networks require music. For 2021 all content will be specifically produced for TH-cam without the need for music, a more raw approach.
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.
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
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.

@@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
That colour is stunning. I love the quarters too- that lip that trails back.
Clearly, Dave only does things one way, the RIGHT way! It's a masterpiece mate.
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!
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 an old Holden, but no doubt, GT Hardtop is the toughest of all Aussie muscle 👑
The paint color and the set up are superb
Love when i see these Australian masterpieces at American car scene specially in my SoCal area
That’s been in my Dad’s workshop, Tuff as anything

I saw the madmax falcon interceptor at the Petersen automotive museum
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
That car is gorgeous
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 💪👍❤️
So perfect and home built too respect.
The sound of the blower amazing
Beautiful car Dave done to perfection m8 looks and sounds mint excellent job 💯
Gotta love a car builder with OCD... so hard to find. 🤘😎

a great car.. great to see a proper resto mod ..
Great video, and what a perfectly executed build 🔥👌
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!
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.
Awesome build
I had a purple one with black from the factory, the white looks fabulous though,🤘👍
That thing sounds awesome!!!
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 can safely say anyone here would do pretty much anything for a beast like this or to even just hear it
im torn between the hq coupe and the xa coupe.. both have their merits
your dream not everyones dream love it drive it haters are going to hate whatever you do
HQ born here 💯💯💯🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
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.👍👍

Thanks mate. Yes, it'd be a wild ride!
You should take this thing to the german autobahn
Monster 😍
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.
Hi, is that registered with the Blower? Is it legal? If so I’m doing it with mine! (Victoria)
Perfect
Wow!
why why why why why did i sell my monro ...oh that's right kids came along sssshit
Now ya talkin ))

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 ....🤮
