{"product_id":"73-holden-monaro-gts","title":"73 Holden Monaro GTS","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Monaro was Holden's answer to whether an Australian manufacturer could produce a genuine performance coupe, and the answer was unambiguous. The HQ series arrived in 1971 with cleaner lines than the HG it replaced, and the GTS specification sat at the top of the Monaro range — high-compression V8, close-ratio Turbo-Hydramatic or four-speed manual, wide-body stance. Peter Brock drove a Monaro GTS in his early Bathurst appearances before the relationship with Holden deepened into the HDT programme. The car earned its place in Australian motorsport history before Brock cemented it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHot Wheels produced this '73 Monaro GTS as part of a series acknowledging Australian cars that the global die-cast market has largely overlooked. For Australian collectors, it is a direct recognition of a car that carries meaning here in a way it cannot elsewhere. The Monaro coupe's proportions — long bonnet, fastback roofline, muscular rear quarters — translate into 1:64 with more presence than most of the American muscle cars it competed against at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hot Wheels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45732708679714,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/5146\/4738\/files\/latest.webp?v=1780921393","url":"https:\/\/factory64.com.au\/products\/73-holden-monaro-gts","provider":"Factory64","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
