The Last Monaro and the last FE & FC

[mcl1959]

As far as I know there was no ceremony for either the last FE or FC and whilst I have some very late numbers for bothe models, there is no way of telling whether they are the last one.  They certainly were not FB colours or trims as Brett's car shows - his is a styling exercise from September 1959 and was made along with a short run of other FC's to test FB colours .  All the very last FE's and FC's that I have numbers from look just like all other FE's and FC's.  For instance I have the numbers of an FC registered on the 29th of Dec 1959 and it is obviously very close to the last, it may even be the last, but there is no way of knowing.  I also have the details of an FE which was registered just AFTER the release of the FC which is probably not really surprising as dealers tried to get rid of old stock.

WTF

thats a pretty expensive dog kennel cause i cant see it being used for anything else, but i'll bite is there anything special about this apart from looking like it was in the middle of a tin worm feeding frenzy :-/?

Sorry, I should have pointed out is was a "Bathurst" Monaro. I would say people are bidding on the compliance plates more than anything else.

Well, well, well so the auction has FINALLY come to an end for the so-called 'last Monaro' with the winning bid at $187,600.00. Christ Almighty, with that kind of money one could have scored themselves a true king of the muscle cars, something along the lines of a 1970 Dodge Charger Daytona or Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird (and yes, I mean a 426 Hemi-powered version), 1969 Ford Torino Talledega or a Shelby GT500 Mustang. Or to be patriotic, 2 HK GTS 327-powered Monaros, maybe 1 or 1/2 Phase 3 GTHO Falcons (yuck) or even better and more humble .... a garage full of restored FE's, FC's (and EH's for good measure).

Hope the (un)lucky final bidder chokes on his purchase if Holden decide to recreate yet ANOTHER Monaro in the near-future.

Why?  Has it cost you money?  Affected the value of your investments?  There's really no need for the sour grapes.  Don't forget ALL the proceeds of this auction go to charity.

Whether or not you think it represents value for money is really neither here nor there.
