Favourite Monaro?

Australia said farewell to the Holden Monaro a long time before Holden bid farewell to Australia. The two-door Monaro was manufactured from 1968 to 1975 and later from 2001 to 2005. It was also manufactured as a sedan from 1973 to 1977. The 1977 HX did not include a coupe -- but it's often referred to as a Monaro.
