Really? Wow. Holden will sell you the Monaro front valence, you can do the
conversion if you're feeling industrious. I thought this was common
knowledge. Why else would the things be built in Australia?

I dunno about that. You can see the progression from generation to
generation but that's about it, and it doesn't even really apply to all the
generations IMHO.
I don't know about Foxes becoming collectable, even the V8 cars are still a
dime-a-dozen. Even if they are becoming collectables, the only ones worth
saving are the the special edition cars (cobra, etc).
