===Historical Research Notes / Correction for NGC 5614===
The '''Monaro''' is a [[coupe]] produced by [[Holden]], the [[Australia]]n branch of [[General Motors Corporation|General Motors]]. The Monaro was produced from 1968 to 1977, and then re-introduced onto the Australian and [[New Zealand]] markets in 2001 (discontinued in late 2005). Since 1968, three generations of the Monaro have been produced.


" '''NGC 5609, NGC 5613, and NGC 5615 are all companions of NGC 5614 found by LdR. In spite of the good positions in NGC, there has been some confusion over the identifications. Even if the positions were not reliable, LdR's sketch of the field, and micrometric measurements of two of the novae, would be enough to clearly identify them.

It was originally introduced in July, 1968 as a two-door pillarless hardtop coupe based on the full-size [[Holden Kingswood|Kingswood]] sedan, and available in three models : the basic Monaro coupe, Monaro 'GTS' coupe and Monaro 'GTS 327' coupe. The cars could be ordered with a choice of six cylinder engines of 161 ci (2.6 L) capacity (base only) or two versions of 186 ci (3.0 L) capacity (GTS with the uprated 186S only), or a 307 ci (5.0 L) capacity Chevrolet-sourced V8. The exclusive 'GTS 327' model was powered by the [[Chevrolet]] 327 ci (5.3 L) V8.

In early 1969 the Monaro range was awarded ''[[Wheels magazine|Wheels]]'' magazine's [[Car of the Year]] for 1968. The model then continued through two minor facelifts, with firstly the HT Monaro range released in 1969 followed by the HG Monaro in 1970. With the HT Monaro, 'GTS 327' became 'GTS 350' following an increase in engine displacement with the fully-imported Chevrolet V8 engines. There was also an automatic version of the 'GTS 350' introduced which used a lower power version of the 350ci engine coupled to a 2-speed Powerglide transmission. HT Monaro also marked the phasing out of the 5.0 litre Chevrolet V8 and the introduction of two locally made V8 engines, the 253 ci (4.2 L) and 308 ci (5.0 L). Just prior to introduction of the HG range, Holden made available as an option - except with the Monaro 'GTS 350' - a new locally-produced 3-speed automatic transmission, called the Trimatic.

The HT and HG models of the Monaro can be distinguished from the HK by the adoption of plastic [[grille]]s (previously metal), a round speedometer instead of "strip" style allowing for bringing the tachometer into the main instrument cluster instead of on the floor console, rubber front suspension bushes instead of the HK's sintered bronze, and larger taillights where the turn indicators also wrapped around the now slightly undercut edges. Bodywork 'go-faster' stripe designs (delete options) varied for each series; HK stripes were offset to the driver's side of the bonnet (hood) and bootlid (trunk), the HT had two broad stripes down the centre of the car, and the HG had subtle "sidewinder" stripes running along the top edge of the fenders, under the windows and finishing just before the rear pillar. HT and HG models also had twin air scoops / vents incorporated into their bonnet.


{{ARP178}}
Some HT series Monaro 'GTS' coupes were exported to or assembled in South Africa from imported parts by General Motors South African (GMSA)at the Port Elizabeth assembly plant. Later the HG series Monaro was assembled and sold in SA badged as the Chevrolet SS. At this time GMSA had made a decision to market most of its products as Chevrolets. The Chev SS as it became known in SA was based on the HG Monaro with revised front styling unique to the SA model and incorporating four headlights and large turn indicators in the front edge of the fenders above the bumper. Most of the Monaro / Chevrolet SS Coupes assembled in SA were fitted with Holden 308 engines. The Chevrolet 350 in³ (5.7 L) engine was available as an option in the GMSA assembled Chevrolet SS.

[[Image:1971-1974 Holden HQ Monaro GTS.jpg|thumb|left|1971–1974 Holden HQ Monaro GTS, modified with [[Statesman (automobile)|Statesman WB Caprice]] front panels.]]


{{galaxy-stub}}
=== HQ ===
A completely new generation body design emerged with the HQ series in July 1971, including the new Monaro 'LS' (commonly believed to mean "Luxury Sports") model. There were no longer any six-cylinder versions of the Monaro GTS, just 253 or optional 308 V8s or the top level GTS350 coupe. The base model Monaro standard engine was enlarged to 173 ci (2.85 L) whilst the Monaro LS had a broad spectrum of engine options from a 202 ci six through to the 350 ci V8. The new coupe design had a much larger rear window and a squarer rear quarter window; it was somehow seen as not as sporty looking compared to the earlier HK-HT-HG series, but is often now considered one of the best looking body designs to come from an Australian producer.

Up until 1973, the HQ Monaro GTS did not wear any body stripe ornamentation and the 350&nbsp;cubic inch (5.74&nbsp;L) [[Chevrolet]] ''[[Chevrolet Small-Block engine#350|Small-Block]]'' V8 engine was a little less potent than in previous HT/HG versions, especially with the optional Turbo-hydramatic 3-speed automatic transmission. This, and the fact that the same 350 engine was also available as on option in the large Statesman luxury sedan, probably contributed to a downgrade of the Monaro GTS range in muscular image terms, as did the replacement of the bigger coupes with the six-cylinder [[Holden Torana]] GTR XU-1 as the chosen GM car for Australian touring car racing. The introduction of bonnet and bootlid paint-outs in 1973 coincided with the release of the HQ Monaro GTS in four door sedan configuration. It is generally considered that Holden created the bold contrasting paint-outs in order that the new Monaro GTS sedan would not be mistaken for a humble Kingswood sedan.

The continued erosion of the GTS350 cache was compounded by the deletion of specific '350' decals on the post-1973 cars, with all Monaro GTS coupes and sedans now being externally labelled with the generic HQ series 'V8' bootlid badge. In the final year of HQ production, ie 1974, the manual transmission version of the GTS350 was discontinued and sales of the automatic version were minimal prior to the engine option being quietly and unceremoniously deleted.

=== HJ ===
A heavy facelift was applied to the 1974 HJ Monaro range, plus along with it some model rationalisation. Gone was the 350 V8 engine option and gone was the base Monaro coupe. The Monaro GTS continued to be available as a coupe or sedan with 4.2 litre (253 ci) V8 power, or the optional 5.0 litre (308 ci) V8 engine. The Monaro LS coupe also continued within the range, but still with the 3.3 litre six-cylinder engine as its base power unit.

The body paint-outs were discontinued in the HJ Monaro GTS range, but for the first time, the Monaro could be dressed up with optional front and rear spoilers. It seemed that Holden were no longer interested in promoting the Monaro GTS coupe as a performance machine and this became all the more obvious with the HJ coupe series having retained the HQ model's rear body styling.

The HJ Monaro LS coupe is close to being the rarest regular production car ever made in Australia with only about 300 units produced. There were approximately 600 HJ Monaro GTS coupes produced up until the phasing out of the HJ-series in mid-1976.

=== HX ===
New emissions regulations heralded the mildly facelifted HX Monaro GTS in June/July 1976 and with it, the decision by Holden to cease manufacturing the Monaro in two-door coupe form. The HX Monaro GTS sedan was quite distinguishable, with liberal splashes of black paintouts contrasted against a range of bold body colours, and a choice of traditional chrome or body painted bumper bars.

However, Holden soon worked out that it held more inventory of coupe bodyshells than could be reasonably palmed off as 'spare parts'. The solution was to have a send-off of sorts by announcing a limited build HX coupe, appropriately called the '''Holden Limited Edition''', or 'LE' for short, and all painted an exclusive metallic colour called 'LE Red'. Surprisingly, the LE was not referred to or badged as a Monaro, but in most enthusiasts' eyes was and is the last of 'the real Monaros'. The LE was an amalgam of prestige parts, in effect a combination of GTS and Statesman Caprice components, with a price tag to match, in the order of $11,500. The cars were built at the now-defunct Pagewood (Sydney) plant to a reputed total of 580 units, although the LE is often advertised as being 'the last 600' Monaro coupes to be built by Holden.

=== HZ ===
Although the Monaro name had survived into 1977 as the HX Monaro GTS sedan, with the coupe now a part of history Holden decided to delete the name altogether from the new HZ Holden range. With the development of Radial Tuned Suspension, Holden transformed the bland characteristics of their full-size sedans and introduced a sporting variant called simply '''Holden GTS'''. But, with the November 1978 introduction of the new mid/full-size VB Commodore sedan and its availability with V8 engine power, the days of the HZ series appeared numbered. The HZ GTS was however a great driver's car and featured a four headlight grille and front and rear spoilers as standard equipment, and in its final year of production in 1978/79 the 5.0 litre V8 became the sole powerplant for the last of the GTS badged sedans.

Ultimately, the VB Commodore proved very popular in both six-cylinder and V8 form, such that all full-size HZ Holdens were phased out of production in 1979/80. The remnants of the H-series lived on in panel van, ute / one-tonner form - and the totally revamped Statesman sedans - in the compressed WB Holden range released in April 1980.

[[Image:2004-2008 Holden VZ Monaro CV8 02.jpg|thumb|left|2004 Holden Monaro CV8 V2 Series III.]]
Some 20 years had passed before a reminder of the Monaro coupe reappeared in the form of a Holden Commodore [[Coupé]] [[show car]] that was shown at the [[Australian International Motor Show|Sydney Motor Show]] in 1998. [[Journalist]]s quickly christened it the Monaro, encouraging Holden to build it. The show car was designed for production and by 2001, the V2 series Monaro was launched after General Motors spent a mere A$60 million over a brief 22-month gestation (although 12 to 18 were targeted). It was available in CV6 (production ceased in mid 2004) and CV8 models with a supercharged 3.8 L V6 and a 5.7 L [[GM LS engine|Gen III]] V8, with a choice of a 6 speed manual or 4 speed automatic gearbox. A series 2 model debuted in early 2003 with a revised dashboard from the VY series Commodore, a new wheel design and some colours dropped and new ones added. The CV6 model was dropped after disappointing sales (reputedly 10 times as many Monaros were built as CV8s) when a Series 3 model appeared in 2004.

Two special edition CV8-R Monaros were released, the first in a grey colour and the second in a more muted red. Each had special wheels and other distinguishing features.

In late 2004, Holden introduced the VZ range of Commodore vehicles which in 2005 were upgraded to feature the 6.0 litre LS2 V8 engine in SS sedans and other variants. The Monaro CV8 was similarly upgraded and also received revised front and rear bumper assemblies, to be now referred to as the VZ Monaro CV8. The revised rear bumper and new ducted bonnet pressing would soon find their way onto the export Pontiac GTO. However, in July 2005 Holden announced that production of the current generation Monaro CV8 would soon be coming to an end. A limited-edition model, the CV8-Z, was produced to farewell the legendary Monaro name, much as had been done with the LE coupe way back in 1976. The CV8-Z had unique features including special wheels and a sunroof, along with a choice of body colours including a bold new orange/gold metallic called 'Fusion'.

The last Holden Monaro-badged coupe was purchased by [[Emerald, Queensland]] businessman [[Darryl Mattingley]] for $[[AUD]]187,355.55&mdash; around three times the normal retail price, on 19 February 2006. The car was bought through [[eBay]], with the money going to the [[Leukemia Foundation]], setting an Australian eBay record for highest price to date in the process. Mattingley, a huge Ford collector, has stated that his only Holden will not be registered, but will make appearances at auto shows. [http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?articleID=11154 Auction details].

Despite the demise of Holden Monaro-badge coupe it remained in production for HSV and for export markets until 14 June 2006 when the last model, a Pontiac GTO, quietly rolled off the production line bound for the US. [http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=18207].

[[Image:2006 HSV GTO Coupe.jpg|thumb|left|2006 HSV GTO Coupé]]

=== Holden Special Vehicles ===
A [[Holden Special Vehicles|HSV]] version (not called Monaro, but simply Coupe) in 'GTO' (255-297&nbsp;kW) and 'GTS' (300&nbsp;kW tuned by [[Callaway Cars Incorporated|Callaway]]) versions debuted soon after Holden's release of the V2 Monaro editions.

Due to high cost and low sales, the HSV 'GTS Coupe' was later dropped, but in its place in 2004 there appeared a 270kW [[four-wheel drive]] version called 'Coupe4'.

The hottest HSV Monaro was the HRT 427 (Holden Racing Team 427ci), virtually a 'V8 Supercar' version of the Monaro. This car used the 427 in³ (7 L) C5R Chevrolet racing engine modified by HRT and HSV to suit the Aussie coupe. The HRT 427 had two seats, a semi–roll cage, race suspension, racing brakes and ram air induction as well as other things. It had 420&nbsp;kW and could sprint to 100&nbsp;km/h (62&nbsp;mph) in under 4 seconds. Unfortunately, to the disappointment of Holden fans, plans for production were dropped due to a reportedly unworkable business case.

However, a GT racecar version of the HRT 427, built by [[Garry Rogers Motorsport]], went on to win the 2002 and 2003 Bathurst 24 hour race against many world class race cars including Porsche GT3s, the British Mosler MT900R, the Ferrari 360GT and the Lamborghini Diablo GT Racecar, proving it really could have been a world beating car. The second win was also Holden touring car legend [[Peter Brock]]'s 10th endurance race win at Bathurst, an amazing achievement for a 60 year old. Three race cars were built, badged as Monaro CV8 ... two were built by Garry Rogers Motorsport for the Bathurst 24 Hour campaigns, whilst a third was built and raced by Team Brock for the late Peter Brock and his stepson James Brock in the Nations Cup racing series.

=== Export markets ===
Most recently, the current Monaro has been exported to overseas markets. It is sold, in [[left hand drive]], in the [[Middle East]] as the '''Chevrolet Lumina Coupe''', and in the [[United States]] as the [[Pontiac GTO (2004)|Pontiac GTO]], reviving another classic muscle car icon. However, at least one commentator<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/?p=5074|title=General Motors Death Watch 144: Nolo Contendere | The Truth About Cars<!-- Bot generated title -->}}</ref> has described it as a 'flop' because of its poor US sales. It was withdrawn from the US market in 2006, although a few were still on dealers' lots in 2007.

==== Pontiac GTO ====
{{main|Pontiac GTO}}

Complaints from [[United States|American]] consumers<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ultimategto.com/monaro10.htm|title=ULTIMATE PONTIAC GTO PICTURE SITE Monaro news #10<!-- Bot generated title -->}}</ref> about the Pontiac GTO's more modern styling saw the addition of two hood scoops in 2005 with the VZ series Monaro to recall the later muscle-car variants of the late 1960s' models; the hood scoops serve no functional purpose. In the eyes of the Australian press, the scoops have spoiled the lines, while the American [[Mass media|media]] seemed to accept them. The 2005 and 2006 GTO also received a [[GM LS engine|Gen IV]] 6.0 L engine putting out 400&nbsp;hp (298&nbsp;kW); the Australian HSV GTO coupe got a similar engine in its Z series; and Vauxhall launched this as the Monaro [[VXR]] in the UK.

==== Vauxhall Monaro ====
[[Image:Vauxhall Monaro VXR.jpg|thumb|right|Vauxhall Monaro VXR at the 2006 British International Motor Show]]
The Monaro was also sold in the [[United Kingdom]] as the [[Vauxhall Motors|Vauxhall]] Monaro where it won ''[[Top Gear (current format)|Top Gear]]'''s best muscle car award.

To the delight of British motorists, Vauxhall offered the Monaro buyer a special treat prior to the discontinuation of the model: the VXR 500. A Harrop supercharger was installed onto the standard GM 6.0 [[LS2]] engine by Vauxhall dealer [http://www.greensvauxhall.co.uk Greens of Rainham] in conjunction with tuning firm [http://www.wortec.co.uk Wortec], bumping up power to 500&nbsp;bhp (373&nbsp;kW) and bumping up torque as well to 500&nbsp;lbf·ft (677 N·m). In addition to this, a shorter gear linkage was added to enable quicker shifts. The resultant acceleration times too were impressive at 4.8 seconds from rest to 62&nbsp;mph (100&nbsp;km/h).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fifthgear.five.tv/jsp/5gmain.jsp?lnk=601&featureid=606|title=Vauxhall Monaro VXR 500 vs Jaguar XKR}}</ref>

With the end of production, Vauxhall opted to replace the Monaro in 2007 with a version of the [[Holden Special Vehicles#E series|HSV Clubsport R8]] 4-door sedan. The new model sports sedan is simply referred to as the [[Vauxhall VXR8]].
