Monaro HT and HG models by Biante

[scribby]

I just received my two Biante Holden Monaro's ('69 GTS 350 & '70 GTS 350) in the mail here in Canada. This was my first purchase of any Biante product, and I am very impressed with the quality. On the brochure for the '69 Monaro it states that an HK 327 Monaro is scheduled to be released. Anybody know when this will happen, and what color it will be produced in?

wouldnt mind to see the hk in Inca Gold, Warwick Yellow or Silver Mink! hey, why not all three!!!

Warwick yellow is the go for me....it would look fantastic in 1:18 but pleaseeeee wait till March as I just bought an XE/XA/XB and a plaque :rolleyes: .....but I guess its only money.....I tell you what though Biante is the best weight loss program around, I should be able to eat again in 3 weeks lol.

scribby i was told by my supplier they won't be doing the hk monaro in warrick yellow because that's the colour of the bathurst model 44d wich they will do it would have been nice to have the plain warrick yellow .

They would surely have to do WARWICK YELLOW the most popular and most advertised colour in the HK Monaro range.

I read in Bushby's "The Holden Collection" that when the HK GTS was first introduced in 1968 it was only available in four colours :

1) Warwick Yellow (exclusive GTS colour)
2) Bright Blue Metallic (exclusive GTS colour)
3) Picardy Red
4) Silver Mink Metallic

Can any Monaro-heads confirm this, and advise what other colours were added to the GTS range prior to release of the HT later in 1969 ?

Whilst I like Warwick Yellow with black trim, I prefer the Silver Mink with red trim combination ....a real standout looker !!

I concur Graeme,
I have the same Magazine too, all the other colours in Monaro range are originated from the Premier colour scheme ie: Inca Gold.

Thats correct. Later on, a series 2 HK GTS was released, and two colours were added: Ermine White and Inca Gold Metallic.
There were four other colours available on non-GTS monaros as well.
I'll be uploading the full Monaro colour range and paint code data to www.monaro.com.au sometime over the weekend.
