The HQ Monaro, introduced by Holden in 1971, stands as one of Australia’s most iconic muscle cars. As part of the HQ series, it marked a significant design and engineering shift from the earlier HT and HG models. Built on an all-new perimeter chassis, the HQ Monaro boasted improved handling, a smoother ride, and a more modern look. It was available in several variants, including the base Monaro Coupe, the sporty Monaro GTS, and the high-performance GTS 350, which featured a powerful Chevrolet-sourced 5.7L V8 engine. The HQ’s bold styling featured a sleek, fastback roofline, flared wheel arches, and a wide, aggressive stance that gave it real road presence.
