A collectors item

I reckon the Monaro will become collectable in the medium to long term. Think in terms of supply and demand, just like anything else you want to buy or sell. When a car becomes collectable, the demand goes up and that pushes the price up. And a car that is rare becomes even more desirable and the price goes up even further. So when you look at the Monaro, identify the things that will make it desirable in the future and buy that car now. In my view the first Monaro will be more valuable than the recently released Series II because it was the first and there is nothing in the Series II that makes it more desirable. And the CV8 with its V8 engine will be more valuable than the CV6, which has been a bit of a flop. Next consider the colour, both paint and trim. The hero colour will be one everyone will want because that will be the Monaro's signature colour. On the Monaro there are two colours that will become desirable, Flame Orange and Devil Yellow. Inside you are restricted to Anthracite with the Devil, but with Flame you can also get Flame trim and that's the one to have.

What's monaro worth?

Monaros have jumped in value in recent times, particularly those with the Chev 350 engine like yours. While the HQ isn't one of the most prized coupes, it is still a sought-after classic. The value of your car depends on its condition, but I would think it's worth up to $20,000 on today's market.
