Holden Monaro 1969 Problems

The HK Monaro is one of the great classics, so it's worth quite a bit. It sounds as though it needs a full restoration, which could be expensive, but I think it could be worth between $40,000 and $60,000 in its current state.

For starters the mechanics are conning you by offering you so little to buy the car, it’s worth much, much more than that. The Monaro GTS 350 is a very desirable model, and yours is a very appealing colour/trim combination with low mileage. Depending on the condition it could be worth as much as $100,000. It could be fitted with LPG and it would run well, but I would urge you most strongly not to do it, as it would affect the originality of the car and in my view reduce its value. Even though the tyres might be cracked, and perhaps unroadworthy, they could actually add to the value of the car if they were the original tyres as fitted at the factory in 1969, so don’t discard them. Finally, you can sell the car without a RWC, but state on the transfer papers that the car is sold ‘as is’ without the roadworthy and the buyer is then responsible for getting the RWC.
