but i read that they stopped making 2 doors from 1974 until the LE was released some years later? Ok make it a HQ Coupe then, do they exist?

The LC is my favourite. i couldnt find one decent enough when it was time to buy a couple of years ago, now its like everyday i see mint ones FS. a family friend of mine has a couple of these HK's and the like sitting in his workshop. they were both built for show by his own paint and panel shop but never ended up being driven so one just sit on the hoist (427ci i think) and the other underneath it (350ci) both mint obviously. the dude lost his way when he became president of the vette owners club 10years ago so these showcars have been sittin unmoved/undriven/covered for well... 10years! makes ya wanna get out the baby powder and start slapping!

LOL... the 'prem' front ends are infact LS monaro's... sort of like your luxury thing with electrics etc. Then theres your sporty GTS monaro. I know the owner of NOTNEW... it is immaculate... and is getting a chev dropped into it shortly! By far the best monaro ive seen and hes only 20 or so years old!
