It may be a bit damp outside for many Aussies right now, but believe it or not, spring has sprung, which means it’s time for the Shannons 2022 Spring Online Timed Auction.

Bidding opens Tuesday 8 November, closing a week later on 15 November. You can view all the cars by simply clicking here.

We’ve gone through what’s on offer and picked our top eight Holdens that’re hitting the block, but if the lions aren’t your jam, we’ll have more content about all the other brands in this auction soon.

Kicking off our list is this properly immaculate VN SS Group A, build number #073 of the 302 produced, with just a smidge over 10,000km showing.

Being such a low-mileage example, there’s no restoration work to speak of, with all the original paperwork still there and a proper Certificate of Authenticity to keep any collector happy.

There’s plenty of chrome-bumpered Holdens in this auction, too, including this Cambridge Blue 1968 HK Monaro.

The six-pot powerplant and the fact it’s not a GTS copy make this Monaro somewhat unusual these days, and the condition both inside and out means you really can’t knock the lack of bent-eight power.

Being a pov-pack, it’ll be more of a conversation starter than your typical Bathurst-spec replica, so we reckon she’s a bloody gem.

One car that is far from base-spec is this Nitrate Silver 2008 HSV W427. It’s build number #58 and has just over 21,000km of work under its belt.

Given these things hit the market right as the GFC was in full swing, HSV sold bugger-all of them, so they’re a bloody hot ticket these days, thanks largely to that monster 7.0-litre LS7 under the bonnet. The seller is the car’s first and only owner, so it comes with all the original goodies for whoever ends up taking it home.

It wouldn’t be a classic car auction without an HQ, and this fully restored ’73 GTS Monaro is a glory to behold.

The car is rocking 308 power as it did when it was brand new, coupled with an auto ’box. Upgrades during the resto include power steering, retractable seatbelts and a sneaky sound system. That, combined with the correct Houndstooth interior and Glacier White hue, makes it an awesome cruiser.

A two-door LJ Torana is a spicy prospect in any form these days, but one with a potential link to some HDT history is definitely worth a second look.

This car has a chequered history that seems to point back to the days of HDT’s rally programs, but digging by the current owner has pointed in all different directions to its apparent origin story.

Regardless, it’s still a CAMS-logbooked LJ racer that underwent a significant restoration more recently in its life, so it could fit the bill perfectly for someone wanting a classic Torana without the risk of kerbing a genuine $300,000 minter XU-1.

Fancy an HDT-spec VK but feel the Blue Meanie thing is a bit played out? Then this ’85 Group 3 HDT VK SS should do nicely.

It’s a one-owner deal showing 137,000 clicks and features the complete service history, including a major overhaul of the original 5.0-litre V8 in 2013.

The rest of the car is unrestored and in really good nick, and you know what they say about them only being original once.

Did someone say Panama Green? Being one of 307 A9X SL/R 5000s already sets this ’77 LX apart, but the original colour (now repainted) is the Kermit-themed cherry on top.

The sunroof is said to have been dealer-fitted before delivery when it was new, and it’s only showing 120,000km on the odo.

Remember when everyone in the 60s was hot-rodding their FJs? Well, this burler harks straight back to that golden era of Aussie motoring, keeping the FJ DNA while rocking a couple of slick upgrades.

Sitting behind the hotted-up grey motor is a four-cog conversion, with disc brakes nicked from a Zephyr, fatter 14-inch wheels, HT Holden stud pattern, MSD ignition and a whole bunch of other neat goodies.
