Classic Carlectables 18867 Holden HK Monaro GTS 327 - The 1968 Bathurst Controversy - Scale 1:18

Product Description


Own a dramatic piece of Australian motorsport history with the 1968 Holden HK Monaro GTS 327 #14D Bathurst race car, driven by Des West and Ron Marks.


This privateer entry became one of the most talked-about cars of the 1968 Bathurst 500, showing exceptional pace by qualifying on the front row and leading large portions of the race. Despite finishing second on track, the car was later disqualified due to a technicality involving replacement engine components, cementing its place as one of Bathurst’s most controversial and fascinating stories.


This 1:18 scale diecast replica faithfully recreates the near-standard race-prepared Monaro, highlighting its unique blend of road car origins and racing performance. With a limited production of just 750 pieces, this is a must-have for collectors of Holden, Bathurst, and Australian touring car history.
