I wonder how many bid retractions there will be??? Having a read through the "GoingGone" T&Cs it looks like a retraction will cost you $250. Expensive game of silly buggers  RET |

Well at this time it is now $503,350.00 Well I'll be damned. THAT much for a Monaro (even if it is the last one)?? Looks like my dad has been right all along with his favourite saying .... "a fool and his money are soon parted". Wonders shall never cease. Pete |

Expensive game of silly buggers RET hmm if i had $250 to donate to charity, i'd bid it up to a cool Million!! of course.. then I'd ruin my 100$ positive feedback rating. wonder how much a one of a kind FE wagon fetches....

Seems they got sick of the silly buggers and retracted a ton of bids, one for $6,000,000.00! |

Yeah, back down to a more realistic $152,000 (still double the price of the second last one off the line...) How about some of those retracted bids? There's one in there for $15M ! That's equivalent to about 200-250 base-model Monaros. You wouldn't need as much storage space though. RET |

what was the total number of Monaros built?
and would it be more desirable to have the first or last?
Cheers

Around 45,000 built, but only about 12,500 sold domestically. Apart from roughly 3,000 sold across NZ, UK and UAE, the rest were sold as Pontiac GTOs in the US. Far more were produced LHD than RHD.
The first one is presumably "Marilyn", that stole the '98 Sydney Motor Show. Can't see it coming up for sale any time soon - probably the same time as Efijy...
cheers

Having put up with one for 12 months, I'd say neither the first, last or any in the middle were particularly desirable.

Correct me if I'm wrong....but I thought Holdens stopped making Monaros some 30 years ago.
Must be stuck in a time warp.
If these bids are genuine, I wouldn;t give a stuff about warranty cards, I'd be asking for a Lifetime Guarantee from GM, that they WILL NOT EVER MAKE ANOTHER MONARO !

Thinking of the last Monaro... Who has the last of the FC's that we know of and who has the last of the FE's that we know of. I think that Ken will have the numbers but who has the vehicles... Could be worth a fortune!!!  Jason. |

Dont HSV have the rights to buy "Pontiac GTO" bodies off Holden and sell them locally as a HSV coupe?
Surely that would put a dent in the "Last Monaro" Certificate, although they would be badged differently

 Just looking at the VIN on the "Last Monaro" consisting of 17 letters and numbers, kind of makes you wonder what a car with 3 letters and 4 numbers would be worth, FE217 S4 as an example. Rusty

I see FC Cool that you mentioned that the last FC may have had FB colors and trim? Well far from the last my FC Sedan August 59 has FB colors, Corona Grey and Artic white with red FB interior and 1960 Chevy headlining!!!! thats a bit different HEH!!! It will be at the Nationals at the island for the first time since adelaide in 1999.
Cant wait.

I never thought of that, do any other 50's chevs share a hoodlinning material like the FC, I probably would have spotted it by now but I might have a look next time I see a 54-56 chev.

If you think that the last monaro auction is ridiculous, ask yourself how much would somebody pay for this? -  Over $8K and the reserve has not been met http://tinyurl.com/c7qax |
