Regarded as the most sophisticated of the early Monaro models, the HG is today one of the rarest and most sought-after of the Holden coupes. Released on 26 July 1970, the HG Monaro was the last of the original coupe design concept, featuring cleaner lines, reduced and redesigned brightwork, and distinctive 'sidewinder' stripes running along the top edge of the fenders, under the windows and finishing just before the rear pillar.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\r\u003cp\u003eFor the HG GTS, the GTS badges gained black paint fill, the rocker panels received new black-out paint, and the \u003cstrong\u003eGTS 350\u003c\/strong\u003e variant stood out further with bold sidewinder stripes, bonnet scoop black-outs and gutsier fender and boot lid decals. Cleaner-look taillights and a redesigned grille rounded out the visual updates. Underneath, the manual HG GTS 350 retained the suspension from the HT GTS 350 and gained thicker, HT-style power front disc brakes as standard across all V8 and 6-cylinder Monaro GTS models.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\r\u003cp\u003eOf the 155,787 HG range units produced, only 14,437 were Monaro GTS coupes. With its crisp driving feel and Salisbury limited-slip differential, the HG GTS 350 manual stood as the definitive road car of several Monaro generations, and this highly detailed 1:18 replica captures every part of that legacy, from the opening doors and bonnet to the fully detailed engine bay and chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\r\u003ch3\u003eSpecial Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\u003cul\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e1:18 scale die-cast replica of the Holden HG Monaro GTS 350\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eFinished in authentic Mediterranean Blue Metallic livery\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eOpening doors\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eOpening bonnet\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed exterior\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed interior\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed engine bay\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\r\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\u003cul\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e1:18 scale Classic Carlectables Holden HG Monaro GTS 350 model (Mediterranean Blue Metallic)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\r\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eThe HG GTS 350 marked the end of an era for the original Monaro coupe body shell, making it one of the most sought-after models among Holden collectors today.
