    NEW STORY: AUSTRALIAN MAN (SO NO CARS NOT FOUND IN AUSTRALIA) - 1972 HQ MONARO GTS COUPE 350

It was his first car and he had caught the bus for most of his early life but was looking to finally own a car. It was Lina Mint Green and fully optioned with a black houndstooth interior.

You see our friends Mr. Evan had fallen in love with his 81 but it did not have enough meat for him. The Skyline now resides in the garage with the HQ Monaro even to this day. He also bought a new 1982 Datsun Bluebird. He had this for four years and in 1986 sold it and purchased a...
