The revival of the Monaro name, in a proper two-door coupe with optional supercharged V6 or V8 power was big news when the concept car was displayed in 1998. Roll on to 2001 and we started to see production versions in showrooms.
The car had some humble beginnings. As we explain in a feature on the CV8: “The Commodore coupe began as a few casual sketches by Holden Design team members in the mid-1990s stage of styling the VT Commodore. Holden Design’s boss, Michael Simcoe, famously refined the lines by sketching it on his loungeroom wall.”
This example is a V2 Series III with 5.7lt LS1 powerplant and four-speed automatic transmission.
It claims a low 21,000km and is located near Brisbane, priced at $79,990.
