2005 Holden Monaro CV8 – today’s tempter

2005 Holden Monaro CV8

Holden’s relaunch of the Monaro brand was a courageous decision, given that, at the time, the idea of a locally-produced coupe seemed dead in the water.

One of our online features on the CV8 notes: “Sydney Motorshow 1998: Holden lifts the cover from a VT Commodore two-door coupe concept/show car on the morning of the media preview day. There is a hailstorm of applause from gobsmacked journos

“But there was more to the story. The show car that surprised us was secretly built: Only a tiny number of Holden staffers knew of its creation, and that added to the newsworthiness – the wow factor – of its showing.”

This CV8Z runs the 5.7lt V8 with four-speed auto.

The seller notes that it has been owned by collector and was ordered with a host of factory options and remains unaltered since then.

Located in Hervey Bay, Qld, it’s on the market for $59,000.
