Price Guide: $100,000 - $120,000
April 1970-built HT Monaro GTS coupe, Sydney-assembled, in original Seabring Orange. V8 converted, 10-year ownership, restored approximately 8 years ago. 57,045 miles.
Description
The HT Monaro GTS is one of the most recognisable and desirable Australian muscle cars ever produced. Built during Holden's golden performance era, it combined pillarless coupe styling, sports credentials, and genuine road presence in a package that has only appreciated in stature. This April 1970-built, Sydney-assembled example presents in Seabring Orange, one of the standout colours of the era, with the black GTS body stripes crisp and well-defined against the vibrant orange finish.
Originally fitted with the 186S six-cylinder, this car was professionally converted to 350ci Chevrolet V8 power with all conversion compliance requirements met. The original two-speed Powerglide automatic remains fitted, keeping the drivetrain period-correct. Photos confirm the engine bay presents very cleanly, with the 350ci Chev wearing chrome valve covers and a chrome air cleaner lid, MSD ignition box on the firewall, and red performance plug leads. No oil leaks or fluid issues are visible. Exterior presentation is excellent: the orange acrylic paint from the restoration holds strong gloss across all panels, body lines are sharp and straight, chrome bumpers and brightwork are in good order, and the car sits on 13-inch five-spoke Dragway wheels with white-letter Hankook tyres. A black Aunger rear window louvre adds further period appeal. Inside, the black bucket seat interior retains its classic GTS character, the factory instrument cluster is intact, and the radio has been internally upgraded with Bluetooth and USB while retaining its original appearance. The battery has been relocated to the boot with an isolation switch.
At a price guide of $100,000 to $120,000, this sits at the accessible end of the HT Monaro GTS market. Genuine, well-presented examples have been achieving $110,000 to $160,000+ at auction in recent years, with Seabring Orange cars commanding strong interest from collectors. The V8 conversion with compliance documentation broadens the appeal to drivers who want the performance the GTS name promises. The car comes with its original GMH Owner Protection Plan service book and original Holden owner's manual, which are meaningful inclusions for any collector.
