Manufactured years 1969-1970

Holden built on the success of the first Monaro when it released the improved HT model range in May 1969. The most obvious external change was the revised front and rear treatment while under the bonnet the HK’s 327 V8 was replaced with a more powerful, Chevrolet-sourced 350-cid V8. An automatic version was also available.

The GTS package added bonnet scoops, stripes and unique wheel trims, along with the option of houndstooth trim. Other mechanical improvements made across the HT range included the adoption of neoprene rubber front suspension bushes to replace the old steel bushings on the HK, resulting in a much more comfortable, quieter ride. The HT 350 GTS won the inaugural Australian Touring Car Championship and is widely regarded as one of the greatest Aussie muscle cars. The HT 350 was the last real Bathurst homologation Monaro built by Holden and as such, has always been sought after by collectors.
