The Monaro was originally introduced in 1968 as "Australia's first muscle car". I always thought the side vents were like shark gills :-)
The 1968 Holdens were "HK" whether they were Monaro, Premier or Special. In 1992, when I was with my first husband, we bought a HK Special for $50 that still ran and had a red engine (better than the greys). But the floor pan was rusted out (common in old Holdens) and so it stayed on the front lawn until we separated and I arranged for it to be towed away *sob*
In Australia you're either a Holden Person or a Ford Person - on top of all the other friction between my first hubby and I was that he was a Ford Person and I was a Holden Person ;-)
