A rare Australian muscle car, and number 303 of the 500 units produced. Under the bonnet is a 5.7-litre V8, driving the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. This two-owner example has been with its current keeper for the last 11 years, who reports that the car has been kept garaged for the last 10 years. The drive belt was replaced, and a fully reconditioned gearbox was fitted in 2021. This Monaro is finished in Quicksilver Metallic over a black leather interior with white contrast stitching and cloth seat faces. It rides on a set of 19-inch twin five-spoke alloy wheels, housing red callipers. The specification also includes a sunroof, a multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, electrically adjustable front seats with three-position driver’s memory, dual-zone climate control, and a central Eclipse infotainment screen with Bluetooth connectivity. An SS Inductions cold-air-feed intake has been fitted. Accompanying the car is the owner’s book pack, jack, wheel brace and boot-mounted fire extinguisher, as well as a certificate confirming that the vehicle is number 303 of 500. There is no known bodywork damage. The paintwork presents well, save for some scuffing on the front splitter, slight chipping around the front wing aerial, small stone chips around a couple of the wheel arches, a very minor scratch on the boot lid above the ‘HSV’ badge, and scratching towards the front of the offside sill. Moving inside, the cabin is in good overall condition, showing creasing on the seats, heavy wear on the steering wheel and gear selector, and signs of use on the door cards and some of the switchgear. The passenger-side backrest adjustment switch appears to be missing. No mechanical or electrical faults have been detected. The car was last serviced in February 2021 at approximately 162,000 kilometres by KAS Automotive Services. This included skimming the front brake discs and replacing the front brake pads, drive belt, air conditioning belt, radiator, coolant, two engine mounts, centre bearing and uni joint, front wheel couplings, front sway bar links, and HT leads. The air conditioning system was serviced and re-gassed in April 2022 by Auto Masters, and a fully reconditioned gearbox was installed in March 2021. Also during the seller’s 11-year ownership, a new muffler has been fitted, the stereo has been repaired, and a five-gas emissions test has been performed by Roadbend Motors. A Department of Transport pit inspection has been carried out, which included all works required for registration. This is a solid example of the marque’s muscular performance car that packs an impressive punch thanks to its high-capacity V8. This example has been driven and enjoyed as intended but also well-maintained by its current owner of the last 11 years, who has had numerous components replaced including a new drive belt and fully reconditioned gearbox. With production limited to just 500 examples, this Monaro GTO V2 would make a natural addition to a wider collection of Australian heroes, and it is ready to entertain on its new owner’s favourite roads.
