The V8 muscle car was bought for $4933.25 on April 24, 1970, in Mackay.

[Neeko]

[Ice]

I mean it would be nice to have it but $160K is a little steep.....woop dee doo that its been on the show.

[MatsHolden]

Oh that's awesome. Love it. HK Monaro is stunning.

[xplosv57]

+1 with Poita, wouldn't care about the Underbelly ties, just want it cos it's a gorgeous car which is a piece of australian muscle car history!!

The VS SS which was in Series 1 Underbelly was for sale a while back and they weren't asking any fancy price cos it was on the show!!

[cholly]

tryed to convince my dad to buy me a hq wen i was 15 that was down the road, they only wanted 2k, ( i know there was prob something wrong)
but i wanted it, and it was bright yellow of course lol

[ChrisMaz]

i dont know why but that just does not appeal to me.

[chrissn89]

Back then, if you were in a typical office job your pay would be around $20-30 p/w so yes top dollar for the time...:)

[Wraith]

It's normal to be a fan of products contemporary to your time frame - but future generations will think the same on all that you think is cool ATM ;)

Being a car enthusiast, I'm absolutely wrapped I've got to live through a period of being able to own and drive 1970's and even 1960's vintage muscle cars, all you gen Y's knocking them have got no idea how much fun they were and the good ol days of being able to drive street registered/legal cars with superchargers hanging out the bonnet and so many other such like things you could get away with, golden days for car freaks :cornut:

I like modern vehicles and ever increasing modern technology, but having experienced those blasts from the past, alot of the thrill and excitment is just gone these days...

Totally agree, cars are now just too easy to drive, esp, abs, traction, blah blah while great for every day, there was just something about the old cars which set them apart from the new.

I missed this before but Ditto for me, except all of the above applied to an EH sedan, my favourite golden oldie Holden

1st car I learnt to drive was an EH wagon with 3 on the tree :cornut:

That's fair enough nicolaim but given the opportunity to drive a classic Holden beast with a good old school S/C or even fully worked V8 I guarantee you'd be a convert :)

Nice and certainly more in most peoples price range, but that classic Aston is something else - 1/4 of a million bucks though :(

[kirssn]

it is a gorgeous car - i've been eyeing off in the show room since it arrived at work. will be interesting to see what it does sell for

can we come in for test drives?

[kirssn]

can we come in for test drives?

I've never seen a potential buyer take one for a drive to be honest.

The showroom looks awesome at the moment getting ready to ship the cars across to olympic park for motorex - mustangs, monaros, toranas, ferrari's, f250's, choppers and plenty more cars... very different to the normal assortment of auctioned cars

[poita]

and there are no pictures because........... :p
