I like it, but you think they could have washed them for the photo's, Trev .

Convertable would be worth more with its lid on in my eyes.Can't say I like it.

Much prefer the one with the roof.

Couldn't afford either of them.

Couldn't even afford the ebay selling fees!!

My thoughts,

Terry.

WHY Now I know why no one else ever did a convertible out of an HK HT HG MONARO!!! IT'S BLOODY UGLY
I also agree with Trev..a bit of soap & water would'nt go astray.

yeah that convertable looks terrible.... the lines are just wrong...

Perhaps the General had a look at this back in '68 - guess that's why there aren't any.................

there's been quite a few convertables made from H/KTG monaros, over the years i prolly know of half a dozen, remember one that had brougham 1/4's that looked ok

its bad enought to cut the roof off but a b and m shifter as a selling point
as i said in other posts monaros are for bogans kustoms for life

In the 1980's I can remember that we went down the and met all the family down at Surfers Paradise. We were staying at some high rise with a car rental joint next door. They had a heap of VF VG Valiant convertibles and some other models maybe a couple 65 Pontiac 4 door pillarless cut down. My family all had Valiants and the car rental mob spend the whole time trying to buy my uncles VG coupe. I think they look ok as convertible but the roof on a coupe is one of its best features.
Mez : I used to see a VG coupe parked at your work. Was it yours? When I was a kid I used to see that car all the time around Indooroopilly. That red and cream one. Would love that car

Yeh, valiants look coool!..... to be able to cut a old classic into a convertible you need to have a straight car.... like FB/EK, chevys oooo man i want one of them! even a two door would be nice 57 especially!

We dont see many converts here in newy, but when i do man i get excited. Some cars just dont look right and i dont think some people do their homework b4 starting to cut, and to wreck a good car that should be left alone.

Its good to see that i wasnt the only one that didnt like the look of it. There is no way id cut a monaro, id be happy with just a two door Holden, they are worth gold atm.

ah years ago old holden where not worth any thing and lots of guys cut them .. bet it was done a few years ago looking at the state of the rim .. think the seller maybe the same guy that had the HQ converable .. ls monaro front and stateman rear /. 308 .. only went for 5k too .. engineered and all ..

but each to there own hey ..

id love a convertable any thing ..

hey mick long story short i found that car for a good mate of mine ,picked it up from inala caravan park for 2k with rego my friend drove it till rego run out and then pulled the frontend out two years later i ended up buying it for a 24 pack of vb,spent the next 2 hours and 10 vbs putting it back togeather, next day spent 6 vbs waitin for the tow truck.put it back on the road for my wifes daily driver then,my driver then sold it to another friend who pulled it apart stright away 6 mths ago, now i will be putting it back together to buy back,some time real soon,what the,but its a good car

hey EKdave1962, is this the HQ monaro you're talking about???

If it is I can't believe you'de cut the roof of a rare custom like it

That convertable is one fugly car !!!!!

na sputz .. well it could be the one i looked at had a white rag top .. was registed in vic and engineered hmm late 90's from memory .. but the seller did say that some guy from nsw came to look at it .. so

who knows that was about 6 mth ago
