Apparently one (or two) went to UK with the intention of doing LeMans, they put a 5.7 engine in and carbon panels but I dont think it made it to lemans.

For arguements sake, if say 50 Monaros were bought off the street, stripped down to the shell and rebuilt into a 'new' car sold under a different name that'd then allow that car to be eligible for homologation under the 'small manufacturer' rules?

Yes that would be theoretically possible but you would need a dealer network to qualify. Just because you would be technically right does not mean that you would be accepted. From my experience the French see rules different to Australians. I would talk to the ACO first and get conditional approval before I spent a cent on any cars.

BTW another Monaro, well in the guise of a Pontiac GTO raced in the Speed World Challenge Series. And then there was the Pontiac GTO.R that raced in Grand AM GT but that was a tube frame chassis, nice looking car though. |

GM should have given them a real chance, but there were probably politics involved. Dont race any GM product against a corvette.... |

As much as I wouldve liked to see an australian car at Le mans I dont think it would've been that successful. The Monaro is a big heavy coupe, even more so then the M3 GTR which was racing (not at Le Mans though) at that time, probably the closest in body shape to the Monaro. |

Alrighty it appears you can homologate a car for racing 7 years after it finished production, looks like the Monaro is eligible.
