A magnificent car. Restored to it's former glory by the late Des Wall, (Wall Racing). The car is currently for sale at Australian Muscle Car Sales for heaps. Great video, brought back some very fond memories.

Thanks for that info, John. And, thanks for watching :)

Haha! Yes you really love the HQ! And you have good taste there: the coupe is really a great looker! For me, not being Aussie, it's rear feels like a mashup of various late 60s and early 70s cars, but I bet it is all original Australian design. ;) QOTD: Masaru Kubota's legendary 1982 Toyota Carina ST that entered the Paris Dakar rally, and unexpectedly won it's class. It wasn't about the power and speed back then: all that mattered was reliability... It still exists in his back garden (you have seen the video) but I would like to see it in real life!

Nice video mate! Good to see some HQ love as i own a 1973 Hq premier sunburst gold project thats getting a worked Blue block/black head 202 5 speed celica box

The 1972 model HQ Holden Kingswood station wagon was our family car for about 12 years when we were growing up,it was only a 202 powered one with the trimatic automatic transmission, but it was a nicer car to drive than the Mitsubishi L300 van which replaced it only it was twice as thirsty as the van,the HQ Holden is my favourite Kingswood. In the Bathurst 1000 race,they preferred to race the LC-LJ Torana GTR XU1 with the worked 186 cubic inch engine & triple Weber carburettors as they performed well plus they outbraked & outhandled the Ford GTHO Falcon with the 351 cubic inch Cleveland V8 engine fitted around corners. Peter Brock raced a Torana fitted with a worked 202 cubic inch engine & triple Weber carbs as well. I'm surprised Ford didn't race the smaller bodied Cortina in that race because they were about the equivalent size of the later Torana & would've handled & braked just as good.

I've gone Sonoma Raceway for the Historic Car Festival, They have everything, Old NASCARs, Can Am cars, Formula one cars from the 30sI don't think I've ever seen a Porsche 917-30 That would make my heart skip a beat!

Gotta love the HQ Monaro... but I wouldn't mind seeing Allen Moffat's giant-killing Ford RS 3100 quad-cam Cologne V6 Capri on full song.

I could swear I saw this beast on a trailer being towed along the westgate freeway back in '09 or somthing like that. My altimate cars I got to see was the gibson r31 and r32 at philip island a feiw years back.

It would have to be the 787B that thing is mental!

Awesome video of a drop-dead gorgeous Holden racer! Love the enthusiasm for that car! Which leads me to QOTD: my favorite racer is the Sunoco/ Penske 1968 Chevy Camaro. Beautiful car, great driver; plus my Dad had a 1968 Camaro when I was a little kid! Great video, take care Dan.

One race car I wish I had seen, is Richard Petty's number 3 Plymouth Superbird, known as The King. With that HQ Monaro, you see where Nissan got the inspiration for its Laurel coupe, the Butaketsu. And that design cue was also used on some Chevys, Buicks and Pontiacs of the same era, here in the States.

I wish I could see the Yatabe Speed Trial 2000GT, but sadly that car basically went missing and I heard it burned in a track accident, so definitely the Shelby-raced 2000GTs and the 1974 Safari-winning 510. Two cars that hold a special place in my heart. Oh and maybe the M3 GTR.

I saw this car one time and I never knew what it was know after a few years I finally know it

Peter Brock raced this car once in Holden Dealer Team colours.

Way Cool!

I got to meet Keiichi Tsuchiya in 2004 and that was pretty awesome. They also brought the JGTC Cars (now Super GT) and so I got to see his ARTA NSX also. Other than that, I get to see Nomuken multiple times a year now.... so that's awesome! Daniel, you don't happen to have more on that Sierra Cosworth do you? I love the Cosworth Sierras and Escorts.

I was fortunate enough to sit in Sir Jack Brabham's first racecar - a speedway speedcar/midget which he raced back in the late 1940's/early 1950's, and long before his Formula 1 career.

i really saw that comming. i thought you preferred the 4 door model but this one is insanely nice. thnaks for sharing it to us Daniel :) question of the day: i'm not into race cars at all, but i love old rally cars like the stratos and the audi quattro from the 80's. p.s: you don't like the beatles either? finally i'm not the only one! every guy i talk about classic rock mention the beatles with a ton of respect, specially one of my friends that is a beatle fanboy. i'm sick of it :S

That is a beautiful car I agree with you , wish we had got those in the US., I still would like to see the Richard Petty cars 1967 Dodge Coronet 1970 Plymouth Super Bee, , Daniel there's got to be one or two Beatles songs that you like

Dude I am really hooked on the vids I just love seeing nostalgic cars or anything automotive I love retro stuff and i especially love the vids you do in Japan . Ausie amd Japanese people have a hardcore love for American cars and honestly they have better cars then we have here in the us. But anyways good luck and best wishes from las vegas Nevada
