Hi guys, here's a pic of the Bolwell Mark7 my dad built in the early seventies, it had a 186 motor... Bolwell Mark7 all 186 Holden mechanicals  and here's a couple of monaro's he owned 69 HK GTS V8 auto  69 HT Monaro GTS 307 auto  It would be interesting to know if either monaro still exists... Leith, feel free to move this to the garage section if you wish...or maybe a nostalgia thread :) Cheers, Elton.  there are no stupid questions, only stupid people Edited by user Sunday, 4 September 2005 4:08:11 AM(UTC)

Hi Guys.
Imagine what these would be worth now, have you seen the price of HK/T/G Monaros lately, even the non-Bathurst ones.
