Warrick Yellow
The HK Holden was built from Jan 1968-May 1969.
With the HK, the new 2 door coupe; the Monaro was introduced, available in base, sporty GTS and race ready GTS327. The V8, also a first in a Holden. The GTS got full instrumentation, the tacho was on the centre console, vents in the guards and racing stripes. The HK Monaro became the basis for a car that was very competitive on the race track
The newly formed Holden Dealer Racing Team would run three Monaros at 1968 Hardie Ferodo 500 at Bathurst, which were separately financed by three different Holden dealers, Patterson Motors (Victoria), Midway Motors (Queensland) and Sutton Motors (NSW), (with each dealer named on all three cars)
But this, a replica of a privately entered GTS 327, won the race, driven by Bruce McPhee and Barry Mulholland beating the Holden Dealers Racing Team cars. McPhee drove all but one lap of the race
HDRT car 24D driven by Jim Palmer and Phil West was 2nd, 25D driven by George Reynolds and Brian Muir came in 5th, and this car 23D driven by Paul Hawkins and Bill Brown was disqualified
