About BAD Q – 1972 Holden HQ Monaro Coupe

Purchased from someone I knew back in 2014 where he had recently bought it off a bloke in NSW, GUN GTS was the plates on the car, it had a little bit of history behind it but it was fully restored around 2001, body off resto.  The chassis was painted gun metal grey with clear so, everything was near immaculate when I picked it and still looks the part today.

It came with a nicely worked 350 SBC 010 block with an old fashioned Holley EFI manifoled with 8x injector points, 8x Holden 304 injectors, 1000 CFM throttle body all controlled by a Microtech LT-8 ECU with a remote controller.   

The engine was mated up to a fully manualised and built T400 which puts power through to a Ford 9″ differential 3.9 gears, Trutrac centre. 

Eventually over time the engine was replaced with a nice freshly built ChevPower SBC with some quality AFR heads, flat top pistons etc.
