    when you look at it, as long as the chassis isnt to badly infected with cancer, you could fix that up into a pretty decent machine again, needs lots of panel work, but doesnt look like its been rolled. would wanna be dedicated tho

    I think that car was originally white.............and it looks like somebody took target practice on it. What a waste.

    but yeah, It needs a lot of work, but it could be fun. And I think Rarespares does a lot of parts for the HK monaros. (probably expensive tho)

    That's in good enough condition to rebuild especially given the price they are fetching these days. Hard work but it would be worth it.
    Is it just sitting in someone's yard?

    Shot, re-animated and then shot again....

    Its a shame to see a classic in a sad state like that...

    But overall, i recon with ALOT of time it could be resurrected

    When rolling shells are going for $10,000, and there are Monaro's on places like Carsales.com and Carpoint going for anywhere between $25,000 and a massive $125,000 for a genuine Bathurst Monaro, that car isn't bad at all.

    Anyone who has hung around people involved in the classic car or vintage car movement will know that something like a rusty pile of little bits and a bare chassis sitting on a trailer is a challenge to be eagerly met...one in particular I recall from Restored Cars magazine some years back was a mid-1920's Rugby tourer which was a chassis and a firewall cowl panel in the scrub...that was it...and it ended up a show winner that looked like it was built yesterday.

    That Monaro is easily salvageable...depends how dedicated you are.

    Let's hope someone saves it!

    Found the First V2 Monaro S/N L789995 21/11/01 Monaro V2 SII L959133 18/12/02 and Monaro V2 SIII L167584 18/9/03.

    Any Monaro drivers out there with one of the lucky numbers?

    If i had the money id rebuild it and leave a few bullet holes on the rear pannel. Would go towards the history.
    Id fill them with some sort of 2 pack clear resin stuff

    You can get a lot farther with a kind word and a gun than a kind word alone
