Lakeside Classic: Bob Jane's 1971 Holden HQ Monaro GTS 350

- Опубліковано 19 вер 2017
- Yes, you are looking at my dream car, but brought up to early 1970's race-specifications.The General Motors Holden weapon of choice was the diminutive Torana at the time, so just a handful of Monaros were tasked with track work. The most famous of them was this very one.

A magnificent car. Restored to it's former glory by the late Des Wall, (Wall Racing). The car is currently for sale at Australian Muscle Car Sales for heaps. Great video, brought back some very fond memories.
Thanks for that info, John. And, thanks for watching :)
It's nice to see your energy when talking about your absolute favorite car :) QOTD: I would have loved to see the original Godzilla R32 touring cars race.
Haha! Yes you really love the HQ! And you have good taste there: the coupe is really a great looker! For me, not being Aussie, it's rear feels like a mashup of various late 60s and early 70s cars, but I bet it is all original Australian design. ;)
QOTD: Masaru Kubota's legendary 1982 Toyota Carina ST that entered the Paris Dakar rally, and unexpectedly won it's class. It wasn't about the power and speed back then: all that mattered was reliability... It still exists in his back garden (you have seen the video) but I would like to see it in real life!
Oh, I would love to do a video on that Carina. That would be legendary!
Too bad it is located on the other side of Japan... :(
Nice video mate! Good to see some HQ love as i own a 1973 Hq premier sunburst gold project thats getting a worked Blue block/black head 202 5 speed celica box
Gotta love the HQ Monaro... but I wouldn't mind seeing Allen Moffat's giant-killing Ford RS 3100 quad-cam Cologne V6 Capri on full song.
Not familiar with that car. Will have to google
i love hqs !!! i have a 1972 hq belmont ute with cragars bloody beautiful cars...
Nice!
The 1972 model HQ Holden Kingswood station wagon was our family car for about 12 years when we were growing up,it was only a 202 powered one with the trimatic automatic transmission, but it was a nicer car to drive than the Mitsubishi L300 van which replaced it only it was twice as thirsty as the van,the HQ Holden is my favourite Kingswood.
In the Bathurst 1000 race,they preferred to race the LC-LJ Torana GTR XU1 with the worked 186 cubic inch engine & triple Weber carburettors as they performed well plus they outbraked & outhandled the Ford GTHO Falcon with the 351 cubic inch Cleveland V8 engine fitted around corners.
Peter Brock raced a Torana fitted with a worked 202 cubic inch engine & triple Weber carbs as well.
I'm surprised Ford didn't race the smaller bodied Cortina in that race because they were about the equivalent size of the later Torana & would've handled & braked just as good.
I still remember my uncle's car when I was a kid
I've gone Sonoma Raceway for the Historic Car Festival, They have everything, Old NASCARs, Can Am cars, Formula one cars from the 30sI don't think I've ever seen a Porsche 917-30 That would make my heart skip a beat!
That was interesting what a shame we didn't see it race or even hear it run.
I'm sensing disappointment. Surely, here on UA-cam there's some of the footage you were hoping to see
Bob Jane's Monaro GTS. It's like seeing ACDC.
Dude, back in Brisbane I bought both a HQ shirt and an AC/DC shirt. ;-) Speaking of shirts, I really hope that Hayashi Racing shirts fitted you ok. :/
What a coincidence. Mate shirt fits sweet, please thank Hayashi Racing for me. Need to add some Wasabi Car shirts to the collection
I could swear I saw this beast on a trailer being towed along the westgate freeway back in '09 or somthing like that.
My altimate cars I got to see was the gibson r31 and r32 at philip island a feiw years back.
It would have to be the 787B that thing is mental!
Awesome video of a drop-dead gorgeous Holden racer! Love the enthusiasm for that car! Which leads me to QOTD: my favorite racer is the Sunoco/ Penske 1968 Chevy Camaro. Beautiful car, great driver; plus my Dad had a 1968 Camaro when I was a little kid! Great video, take care Dan.
Thanks, Joe. :)
I was fortunate enough to sit in Sir Jack Brabham's first racecar - a speedway speedcar/midget which he raced back in the late 1940's/early 1950's, and long before his Formula 1 career.
That's very cool. :D
I saw this car one time and I never knew what it was know after a few years I finally know it
I wish I could see the Yatabe Speed Trial 2000GT, but sadly that car basically went missing and I heard it burned in a track accident, so definitely the Shelby-raced 2000GTs and the 1974 Safari-winning 510. Two cars that hold a special place in my heart. Oh and maybe the M3 GTR.
All nice. Thank you.
One race car I wish I had seen, is Richard Petty's number 3 Plymouth Superbird, known as The King.
With that HQ Monaro, you see where Nissan got the inspiration for its Laurel coupe, the Butaketsu. And that design cue was also used on some Chevys, Buicks and Pontiacs of the same era, here in the States.
Peter Brock raced this car once in Holden Dealer Team colours.
Way Cool!
Nice Monaro!
Oh, I think so, too :)
Dude I am really hooked on the vids I just love seeing nostalgic cars or anything automotive I love retro stuff and i especially love the vids you do in Japan . Ausie amd Japanese people have a hardcore love for American cars and honestly they have better cars then we have here in the us. But anyways good luck and best wishes from las vegas Nevada
Awesome, Julian. Thank you so much. :)
I got to meet Keiichi Tsuchiya in 2004 and that was pretty awesome. They also brought the JGTC Cars (now Super GT) and so I got to see his ARTA NSX also.
Other than that, I get to see Nomuken multiple times a year now.... so that's awesome!
Daniel, you don't happen to have more on that Sierra Cosworth do you? I love the Cosworth Sierras and Escorts.
AE86 Trueno N2 Class race car , the TRD Formula Atlantic 4AGE is irresistible
Semi-related, I saw a couple Group A AE86's at the same event as this Monaro. They'll be in a future vid for sure. :)
The s1 Quattro from groupe b. That thing is a monster
That is a beautiful car I agree with you , wish we had got those in the US., I still would like to see the Richard Petty cars 1967 Dodge Coronet 1970 Plymouth Super Bee, , Daniel there's got to be one or two Beatles songs that you like
i really saw that comming. i thought you preferred the 4 door model but this one is insanely nice. thnaks for sharing it to us Daniel :)
question of the day: i'm not into race cars at all, but i love old rally cars like the stratos and the audi quattro from the 80's.
p.s: you don't like the beatles either? finally i'm not the only one! every guy i talk about classic rock mention the beatles with a ton of respect, specially one of my friends that is a beatle fanboy. i'm sick of it :S
I would love to see the BRE 240z in person!!!!!!!!!
QOTD. Any Carroll Shelby automobile will do it for me.
You sound very enthusiastic on this video Daniel...
I’m with you love I ❤️ the HQ my dad had one when I was I kid they are a nice looking car along with I the Chevy Chevelle love the Chevelle as well
Your Dad owned a Quey? Nice. I'm jealous. I was offered a fairly tidy one, but asking price was kinda ridiculous. All good though. If I had bought it, it would of got sold when I came to Japan. That's life
@@wasabicars yeah I would love one today and also got a soft spot for the LJ Torana the one with the 2850 motor loved those to , if I run into some money I would buy both
its cool even the quarter glass wind down pity it didn't race Bathurst would of been the monaro to do it I know where a factory hq gts 350 coupe 4 speed rock crusher is, needs about 50k resto but most would spend a lot more wont be cheap though
Gorgeous car. Love the styling. Any more videos of stock ones? But ......... more importantly did you get that 510 at 3:58.
Gee, it flashed by pretty quickly. You much have eagle eyes. But, yes. I did shoot plenty of 510 action that weekend. :)
This Classic and Moffat,s Mustang ,Timeless
But what happened to the One Tonna fire vehicle from that time at Sandown race track
Australian history ( being put to good use ))
Yeah. Great to see this legendary car doing what it does. It was special
QOTD: seeing a Mika Hakkinen F1 car on display at a car show
There are 2 cars I would have loved to see driven in anger. #1 Porsche 917k especially at Le Mans. #2 Porsche 908/3 spyder.
my mum had the HT monaro GTS and dad had the ford XA fairmont GT hardtop. Neither could give a rats at bathurst time, go figure.
Richard Petty's 71 Roadrunner
Wasn't the pic at 1:06 his separate Sports sedan he ran aswell as the Touring car (pre sports sedan Camaro) and the pic at 1:08 his ex Touring car that became ward's late 70s super sedan? Not ruffling feathers, just enquiring... :P
Damn, someone who actually knows what they're talking about? Um... The book that I got the pics/info from (Holden : the official racing history / [Stewart Wilson ... et al.]) said it was the same car. Beyond that I have no clue. I just like broom broom
All good, was just asking because i'm working with a publisher who's doing a classic Aussie motorsport legends tribute book,. Trying to cover 70s - mid 80s ATCC, and some S/Sedan cars.
We're trying to find imagery and info from some of the rarer stuff. Cheers!!
I want to see George Fury`s Bluebird
Rock Crusher Trans is the M 22
Yes. I mispronounced Muncie, so was only left with Rockcrusher. :/
Jack Brabham Brabham Repco BT19
Norm Beechey HT Monaro 350
Cheers :)
Maybe not a racecar but I was driving one day my brother said something. I start looking he says savana RX7 and I was like holy crap where did this beauty come from? Was trying to get beside it to look at it better and was like screaming why are you guys so slow! Was so tempted to follow it but was decided I shouldn't bother the guy or use how ever much gas that would be
This was a really good video BTW! I can see why you're so excited its a real good looking car it's not my style, but would love to see them just driving around they're so nice. Sexy rear, nice lines on its cabin and a classic looking front. IDK how anyone couldn't appreciate this car like dang it's hot
Thanks, Keith. I do get excited when I do a Holden video :)
nice :D actually i dont really know what racecar i would want to see really lel
Not a problem. ;-)
Cologne Capri would be great to see again.
We had an HQ Kingswood as a paddock car.
Isn't Bob Jane the leading manufacturer of fair dinkum Aussie quality tyres?
Yes, Bob Jane the tyre guy.

Saw it a long, long, long time ago, but I do remember the black Monaro.
