2002 HOLDEN MONARO

KEY FACTS

• This 2002 Holden Monaro has been conscientiously cared-for and is a fine example of the car that brought the marque back to the full-size coupe market after 25 years.
• It is powered by a 5.7-litre General Motors small-block LS1 V8 with shifting handled by a four-speed automatic transmission.
• The car has been with one owner for the past 15 years and has a comprehensive service history and low mileage.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• The third generation Monaro brought the Monaro name back in 2001 after a 25-year hiatus. It was also sold overseas, ‘badge engineered’ under the Pontiac GTO and Vauxhall Monaro monikers.
• This car is the more powerful 5.7-litre V8 capable of 225kW at 5,200rpm. Other features include a limited-slip differential, memory front seats, and a sound system with six-disc stacker.
• It has been fitted with different wheels, Bridgestone tyres, as well as an upgraded muffler.
• Sold with the original owner’s handbook, service booklet with full history to 50,000 km, keys and other accessories.

CONDITION

• The Monaro has not been crashed or damaged, and the panels and exterior trim are in excellent condition, with everything running straight and true.
• Its factory-applied orange paintwork is in very good original condition, with only very minor stone chips on the front bumper and rear vision mirrors to note.
• Inside, the matching Flame Orange interior has been very well-cared for and preserved. There is some wear on the seats and the trim has separated from the window seal on the driver’s side, but otherwise the interior is in impressive order.
• Its electronics and mechanicals are in sound operational condition.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Claridge Holden performed a full service on the car in December 2011 at 50,000 km. All inspections were carried out, including engine and transmission, leaks, brakes, and thermostat; with all fluids topped up, the brake system flushed and refilled, cooling system flushed and air conditioning system purged.
• Routine services were also carried out up to 50,000 km, before the car was stored on charge with minimal use following the 2011 maintenance visit.

SUMMARY

This 2002 Holden Monaro is a beautifully preserved example of an acclaimed contemporary performance car. With just over 50,000 km on the clock, it is mechanically sound and presents exceedingly well for its age, making it a great option for someone who appreciates the history and wants to experience a modern Australian classic.
