I reckon the 6 litre vz senator could be a good bet. And late model gts and gto monaro

GTO Monaro ?????Originally Posted by buck
No such thing, but the first of the HSV GTS coupes with the 300kW engines would be the only HSV i'd keep.
Beg to differ on that, there is a hsv gto coupe, came out the same time as the gts there are 2 in albury both black with grey high lights, seem to be about as rare as the coupe 4 monaro which is already commanding big dollars

What HK1837 means is that the Coupe4, GTS & GTO are not badged Monaros. They are HSVs.
A bit like the HX LE & HZ GTS, only more so. Apparently HSV can't use Holden's nameplates.

i must admit people seem to get a bit funny about HSV, after all i thought HSV stood for "Holden Special Vehicles", so as far as iam concerned the GTO, GTS, COUPE 4 all started life as a Monaros.

They were never a Monaro, and that is the problem. Ford have been smart and used their heritage and called some pretty awful cars (and some good ones) GT's and they are seen to be collectable already, and will be in teh future. Holden stuffed up and created a different Company called HSV and didn't use their heritage wisely. There should always have been a Monaro GTS and a Sandman, but it ended up as poo with a GTO and GTS and a Maloo. Stupid.
Yes, that's basically true, but HSV is a separate privately owned entity & are officially classified by the Govt. as a separate manufacturer.
This is my point about the Mazda3 supposedly being the top selling car in Australia. Once again Holden have 'one hand tied behind their back'.
If you add the Commodore sales, ute sales (which are still VF Holdens), then add the LWB (Caprice) & the HSVs (which are all Commodore-based), this makes Commodore the top seller. But that's not how it's done.
