4. 1969 Holden Monaro GTS 350
Holden’s answer to the more powerful Falcon GT was to develop the Monaro GTS model. After adding a powerful 327 V8 engine, Holden installed the famous 350 small-block Chevrolet with 300 HP on tap. Officially, the 1969 Monaro GTS 350 was the most powerful Australian car at the time of its introduction.
The design was much the same, but Holden introduced a different dashboard and a slightly different front grille. With less weight and more power than the Falcon GT, the Monaro GTS 350 was the winner on the race track. It went on to prove its worth on the famous Bathurst circuit in 1969.
