MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE

1973 Holden Monaro GTS Collector Guide

The orange Monaro looks right at home beside other Australian muscle cars. Here, the interesting distinction is the package: the 2022 Boulevard car and the 2023 two-pack car share the orange-and-black appearance shown in the photos.

What to look for

HCR02 is the Boulevard 53 release in Indy Orange Metallic. HKF50 pairs the Monaro with a white 1977 Holden Torana A9X. Treat these as two release formats of the same pictured finish; a different package alone does not establish a new paint or wheel variation.

Choosing one for your collection

A loose orange Monaro may not tell you which of these packages it came from. If that distinction matters to your collection, ask for the original card or documented packaging.

Check the black hood stripes and wheel rims, then look underneath for wear. For the two-pack, confirm that the Torana is included if the listing is priced and described as a complete set.

Collector questions

Can I separate these releases by the loose car’s color?

Both pictured editions use Indy Orange Metallic with black hood stripes. Packaging is the useful distinction here; do not assign a loose example to a particular pack from color alone.
