If only we had a crystal ball. Unfortunately it's impossible to say with any certainty if the foreign variants of the Monaro will become classics. If any do I would guess it would be the Pontiac with its connections to the GTO, Vauxhall's image in Australia is one of a cardigan wearing, pipe-puffing old timer, and the Chevrolet Lumina doesn't get the pulse racing.
I'd be hanging on to it for a while yet, the economy is likely to improve and with it so will the demand for classic cars. Added to that I don't think the VZ Monaro has acquired the true classic status it is likely to acquire over time, even though yours has only a few kays on the clock. It would be worth $40,000-$45,000 right now.
I DON'T expect any major drop in value. The new Monaro is a classic and will eventually turn around and maybe even start increasing in value. Now is a pretty good time to be buying one.
THE Chevrolet Opala was built by GM Brazil from 1969 to 1992. It was based on the Opel Rekord and had no connection to the Monaro. The Chevette was based on the Opel Kadett, as was the Gemini, even though Isuzu in Japan built the Gemini.
