Between $250 - $300 on evilbay.:27:

[HrtTassieFan]

I just bought the Number 1 HT monaro from one of my dealers for $195 i think there was 1 left

[Thunder]

I'm surprised that your dealer still had 1! The #4 car fetches more as Norm won the Championship with this car in 1970.

[HrtTassieFan]

Yeah he's got a few old ones tucked away, never quite know what i'm gonna find when i go there, Which isn't a bad thing :)

[Thunder]

Is your dealer the one that has a stall or like little shop at the markets?

[HrtTassieFan]

I have one in a market that i go to occasionally, gotta sneak away from the missus Lol.
But the guy i bought the Monaro off is a dealer and being in a small town i guess he's got a lot of old stock

By "small town" do you mean TASMANIA :D

I've bought a few models from the one who has the stall at the markets.

[brock97]

If you are going to get a CC monaro don't expect it to be 100% correct because my dad and I have one and we went over it and there were a few things not quite right but like most models pretty good dad said that Norm Beechy that said parts of it are incorrect

[HQGTS74]

Every model has its faults and imperfections. I wasn't very happy with the CC HQ GTS coupe at all so i got the Biante version. With the HQ GTS sedan by CC its my only choice but it's still pretty nice although i don't think they got either shape quite right.:rolleyes:
Chris

[Thunder]

The Beechey Monaro is gorgeous.

[HrtTassieFan]

Yeah he's got a few pretty hard to get one's in there although he displays them out in the open but the prices seem pretty fair.
Yeah it's my first Monaro of that era and i'm stoked with it.
C'mon were not that small model mad Lol

[hobby]

The Beechy monaro's are amongst my favourites.
watched him race these car every time he came to Barbagallo.

[HQGTS74]

hey guys, sorry for bringing up an old thread but what is the #1 Beechey Monaro? I understand the #4 car is the ATCC winner but what is the #1 car?
Thanks
Chris

[Oh Five]

Thats the one he raced the following year #1
Only had the one win at calder and came 5th in the Championship after Jane,Moffat, Geoghegan
and McKeon

[HQGTS74]

Thanks mate. The #4 is the one i want then;)
Chris

[Oh Five]

Its one awesome looking car.
The #4 results for that year were
Calder 0
Bathurst 9 (1st)
Sandown 9
Mallala 6 (2nd)
Warwick farm 0
Lakeside 9
Sym Plains 0

Bit of trivia for ya, quiet night at home waiting for Bahrain:o

[malscar]

#1 is inaccurate. Beechey had widened the guards quite noticeably by the time it wore the #1 and the CC car is the same shell as the #4 version.

[HQGTS74]

Both cars are VERY nice. Can't wait to get one.
Chris

[Thunder]

Sorry guys, I didn't see that the question was answered so I had to edit my answer. Chris, usually the #4 model goes for around the $300 mark, but sometimes if you be patient you can pick one up for about $250.

Goodluck in your hunting.

[Thunder]

Hi malscar, who makes the 1:43 version?

[HQGTS74]

Thanks mate. That 1:43 also looks great!
Chris

[Graeme]

I'm not posting in order to criticise non-Biante product, but do my eyes deceive me or does malscar's 1:43 model appear to have a HK series grille ?

You're quite right! Good spot. To me the Beechey 1:18s also seem to have a slightly squashed front, too narrow! Still look hot though..But the Biante HT monaros seem to have a more correct front.
Chris

[hobby]

The only difference between these and a Biante HT Monaro is that the classics is longer,
I am on night shift at the moment tomorrow night if i find time i will post and image of the Biante HT next to the Beechy Monaros,
that is unless someone else does it first,
Please do not start and argument over which is better Biante or Classics

[Vectra]

I bought the #1, as I reckon the mags and front air scoops look better....

[malscar]

Yes it does. This is a resin kit. Dave from Automodellistudio has them. He is not happy that the manufacturer got the grill wrong.

I'm not starting and argument over which is better, i was simply saying that i think the front of the CC Beechey monaro seems squashed where as the Biante front looks more correct to the real car. Can't complain about any other part of the car, it looks fantastic;)
Chris
p.s. Here is a pic of the Biante HTs, you may be able to see what im talking about..

Do you Have the CC #4 Car as well to make a comparison

[singer]

Hi malscar, who makes the 1:43 version?
There is 1 made by AMM Australian Model Miniiatures. Don't know whather they are still in Business since the move to Tas

[HQGTS74]

I have both Beechey Monaro's as well as Biante's. I don't see that much in it

[biante11500]

[biante11500]

heres a few more, the beechey cars aren't that bad as they were trans-am cars with flared fenders and were heavily modified compared to the regular atcc cars.

Nice pics mate. As you can see the fronts are quite different. Also i like the back of the CC HT monaro more than the Biante. Both nice cars.
Chris

[rayman]

iirc,Norm Beechey was actually quite scathing of the inaccuracy of the model.

Any one else remember these 1:24 scale models, sorry to go off track but forgot that I had them.

[david5]

Has anyone got a copy of the Beechey leter, Id really like to read it ?

David

[AmonFan]

Guys go easy on Erwin's 1:43 version that Dave sells.... While it is not totally correct, Erwin went by pictures, he is Switzerland so he has never seen the real car before.... Hats off to him for taking an interest in Aussie Muscle :D

If that is in reply to the post about the grille, I seem to recall that the Biante Bathurst Winner (69 I think) has the wrong grille too... But then the Brock car got the right grille...

[HQGTS74]

Well, got my hands on a #4 beechey monaro already and fell in love with it before i got it out of the box:). Didn't have to be patient for a great price either;).

[05shan]

Tough looking car, one of my favs, looks intimidating in real life too:D

[HQGTS74]

Yes it really is stunning but i like the rear more than the front. Love the fat tyres and the way the whole car sits. Paintwork is beautiful too as well as the race tank in the boot, the engine and interior. Its a 9.5/10 for me just because i think the front looks a little funny but anyway GREAT car.:D
Chris

[05shan]

Got any engine photos?? Love that donk:D

[HQGTS74]

Sorry mate only those two for now but will take some more detailed snaps tomorrow.

[Holdennumber1]

That monaro looks stunning Chris.:D:) Ever since I saw one in a model shop in May, I've wanted one (the 68 Bathurst winning HK will come first). Sooo, how much did you pay for it mate?
Cheers,

$175 picked-up:D

[Holdennumber1]

$175 picked-up:D Wow, another bargain. I think Inters value was around $250, so thats a nice price to pay.:) And, by the way mate, you do know that none of the older members will be able to read the price.:D

Wow, that is one detailed CC model Whitlam.:D:rolleyes: Seriosly though, I love the look of the HT's (1:18 and 1:1). I still find the gap in the bonnet strange though.

The real car was like this to help with extracting the hot air from the engine bay.

Just in case you were unaware, the Bonnet was lifted to assist in the engine COOLING as were the aluminium panels in the Engine bay:)

[Oh Five]

I lifted the bonnet on my LH Torana, looked tough. Ahem it was only a 173, but looked tough:laugh4:

Cheeky whipper snipper, for your information young man I can see it just fine........with my magnifying glass.:D

[Holdennumber1]

Just in case you were unaware, the Bonnet was lifted to assist in the engine COOLING as were the aluminium panels in the Engine bay:) Thanks,:) but I already knew as when I first saw the model, I researched why there were large gaps at the top of the bonnet and found out about it. To me, it still looks strange though.
Cheers,
Thomas

P.S. David, 43 isn't old so you should be able to read it just fine mate.:D

[HQGTS74]

Incase anyone did have trouble reading it it was:
$175 for the Beechey Monaro and $175 for the Charger:D
