    Google the words "south african monaro" heaps of info.....



    @watchdog, i bet if you stopped the driver he was probably a Greek/Australian.
    Heaps of greeks went back home and some probably took their ferrari with them.
    I personally know older Greeks that still drive them today and still swear their the best cars ever made.

    I know of on Greek family where the mother drove a HZ GTS, father drove a HQ Monaro, eldest son had a SLR 5000 mockup and when the youngest got his licence what did you know?...He got a A9X mockup.

    Use to be fun watching the arguments as to who had the better car.

    Somehow I don't think so. Strictly speaking it's not an Australian car. It's a South African car , so you could never class it as an Aussie muscle car. Actually I don't think there is such a thing as an "Aussie Muscle car" .
    Muscle Cars are an American term and if you want to class a car in that context then all we really had were "Pony Cars". We had the best "Touring Cars", hence the "GT" option..
