Reading an article in Unique cars saying colours make a big difference in price, has anyone heard of one off colours in Torana, Monaros or Commodore's bringing big dollars on the market

I've seen a 307 manual HK GTS in Burgundy Maroon with Parchemnt trim. Very nice car. I'd value it higher than most other 307 manuals simply because how nice it was. Not sure if a 327 example would top a Warwick Yellow example though. Also come across a Se |

I have heard of a black HT Monaro and a maroon HK 327 with a beige vinyl roof, Just curious about opinions as there was a black GTHO that sold recently and as I believe this was a one off and it sold at a higher price than a normal colour GTHO at the time

Didn't a Warrigal GTS327 appear at one stage?
I've also seen a Mako blue 337 Monaro, 307 auto.
I've seen two (own one) Woodsman green 337 as well.
And don't forget the famous Shell yellow HT!

It just shows there are some interesting cars out there, I saw a photo in a mag of a black XU1 and I believe the Muscle car masters at Eastern Creek this year are featuring black muscle cars, that would be worth a trip.
Thanks for the feedback.

Yes EH was available with Warragal Black and it was used to 73 when replaced with Tuxedo black. But not all cars in the range were available with it, GTS was not offered in Black until HX.

The HZ on the cover was a very early HZ and was Hannenbergers personal car. This car still exists today, along with the white and red ones from the brochure. These wee the first three built. I forgot about that one, plus several others.
