Now that you mention it, I cant say I have.

No, I lie. I have. But it was definitely an after market paint job. White pearl with black roof, bonnet and boot. It belongs to a mate of a mate (Little Brad on here) and was with us at Powercruise last year. For those that were there that weekend, it was the Monaro that hit the front wall.

Would have been worth it if they'd used a pearl white

This is the one i was referring to. I took these pics at Powercruise last year, the day before it hit the wall.

It has a VZ SS front end on it, due to previously being smashed be previous owner (coincidently, at Powercruise a few years back lol)

You've got to remember that at the time the Monaro was in production, white was an uncool colour only fit to be seen on fridges and Camrys. These days, white is a cool colour and I guess silver is the new white.

John Evans at Racepaint in Braeside here has sprayed his GTO white (with other embellishments) - looks good!!

I've never seen one.
During the production run of the Coupe, this question was raised on this forum, & one was put up....computerised/photoshopped or whatever you call it.....and it looked rubbish....like a taxi......I was quite surprised because I like white cars as a rule, but the coupe did not look good....someone may be able to dig up the thread.
Cheers, Pickles.

Apparently 1 of the 5 Targa Tasmania Monaro's was returned to stock and painted white, I don't know who has it or where it is though.

a white gto with all the scoops and stuff would look way tough.

but holden nor HSV did not ever make a factory white coupe.

I think white with the right rims and accents would look tuff as.

I'm sure I have seen a coupe 4 in white.
I am sure the shannons add has a white coupe 4 in it. But I could be wrong. :).

I've seen that GTO in about three colours! It looked schmick at the Monaro nats in ballarat! It wasn't white then! It started life as devil.

that white gto looks good except for those orange stripes going over it, just a bit over the top i reckon, would look alot better if they were a matt black, but would look even cleaner and classy looking without them

Ive always hated white cars but lately they are becoming more and more attractive to me!! A monaro or gto in white on black wheels would definately rub me the right way!! Big call but even maybe white on white!!!!

Well guys, its been talked about, dreamed about, speculated, photoshopped and suggested, well now here it is - a WHITE Monaro. I reckon it looks the goods, just wish it didnt have the rear wing.
