Just a general question?
Did all 350' Monaroes all have the same size fuel tank or was there a "Bathurst" model with a bigger tank?
Are all 350 engined models all the same or were there any particular options that were added to suit Bathurst?

All 350 manual HT/HG GTS's had the big tank and radius rods and the high compression motor. The powerglide models had the smaller tank and no radius rods, plus a lower compression engine. Most of them are manuals. Approx 700 HT's and 450 HG's all up. |

For a FAKE or IMITATION how much of the car can you replace before it is no longer the car????
I helped restore a GTS 327 years ago, the only thing that was not replaced was the floor and firewall. I think at some stage it went into a ditch and over on

Hi Guys.
74HJLS mentioned the 3-speed crash box, the 4-speed Opel & the Saginaw, but what about the 3-speed all-synchro option. The Saginaw was a very expensive option in the HK, it was one of the only times that the 4-speed manual was an extra cost op |

Interesting topic methinks.
What happens when a car is an original say monaro/sandman etc, and it has a front smash, so you put it on a different chassis? It still has the same compliance numbers, but different chassis number... Is this not still the o

Hi hainzy.
The chassis swap is an easy one to answer.
This really only applies to HQ-WB, but if it has a severe front hit, the correct repair would have been to purchase a new chassis/sub-frame from Holden & then you to restamp the new chassis, usin |

Either it was a factory manual car that had the Saginaw replaced by a Powerglide or the large tank and radius rods were added later. The GTS350 auto had the following differences to the manual apart from the gearbox: Lower comp engine (different in lot Edited by user Thursday, 13 April 2006 7:07:00 AM(UTC)

Warren, This hk 327 you helped restore a few years ago. I'm quite sure my mate owned this car for many years, he had bought nos front rails and many other parts for it. He sold it with a spare hk shell as the car had been stolen and rolled (in the 80's).

Hi Dr Terry,
I am most probably wrong, but I did not think the sychro 3 speed was available in the early HKs.
I had a Belmont ute with a non synchro box in it. An interesting point is an Opel 4 speed shifter can be hooked up to a non synchro box and w |
Cheers,
Pete.

Hi Pete,
Yes, the 3-speed all synchro box box was an option behind all HK 6-cylinders from day 1. The 3-speed 'crash box' was standard fare, even on Premiers.
The 3-speed all synchro them became the standard box in the HT series, even behind the 253 |

To HK Dave the car I helped build was a Sydney built car and was based in Sydney. SIlver mink with black trim.
The car has been onsold now, the new owner would not be aware of the cars history, he thinks he has a restored GTS 327.
