We’re doing a call out for HX vehicles!

Let’s celebrate 50 years of this model!
Even better if you have a HX LE 🙀🙀🙀 Are there any in Tasmania?? Tag all your HX mates below ⬇️

Happy 50th Birthday LE 🎂

The Final Holden Monaro Coupe – HX "Limited Edition" (Released September 1976)

While not its own distinct generation, September 1976 saw the emotional release of the Holden Limited Edition (LE) Coupe.

Utilizing the legendary dual-headlight Monaro HJ/HX body shell, Holden built just 580 units at the Pagewood plant.It explicitly dropped the "Monaro" badge, simply being called the Holden Limited Edition, to clear out the remaining two-door bodies as consumer tastes shifted.

It came standard in an iconic metallic LeMans Red with gold pinstripes, a plush red velour interior, and a 308 cubic-inch V8.

And whilst we don't have one of these rare sights on display currently we still had to let Rory say "hip hip hooray" 🦁
