Terry,
You are correct in saying "loosely being referred to as export Chev Statesmans"
They were Commercially known as Chevrolet Constantia and Chevrolet Caprice 350.
My model is the later. It's easy to see the difference in the models by the build

Hi ozchevy.
That's my point, they are more than just 'Commercially known as', they are actually BADGED as Constantias, Caprices & Caprice Classics. The 350 was available HQ only & the HJ had the 308, same as here. I also understand that the SA Chev mod |
If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Maybe Warren and Ben should do a Holden Export Story and Holden Export Facts book? I find the whole export holden thing quite intriguing? Upsetting that they exported our holdens but intiguing all the same. Is there websites that have info on the Export S

I know of a SA export Statesman where the chassis was stamped the same as the 350 engine.......the interesting thing was it was only 3 digits.

From memory it brought about $8000 NZ$'s with maybe 3 bidders
The interesting question is how many 81837's are on the Monaro register or known?
I know of 3...
On that how rare or common were 80337 202 4 speeds?

They had some pretty way out colours back then. Those combos would be rare as, Have never heard of either of them. Not lookin to sell eith er of them are you?
Seriously though, I am starting to turn and agree that the coupe COULD be an original 81837.

Greg,
I would say this Monaro would be very rare.
Twin headlight on a HQ and I'm presuming as with the export HQ Statesman it would have had the Export grille in it as well, with the cursive Chevrolet inscripted emblem, and centre Bowtie badge.
