The division is called General Motors Holden, if you do a web search on that, you may get the site. Plenty of good stuff on the Monaro there.
Car is made in South Australia (see Caprice 2002 disc )
The original Monaro, 2 door ceased production in around, 1978, and GMH has produced no two doors since.
The photo shown is not a good one.
Current colors here are silver, black, flame (similar to Monza Red 1970), hothouse (similar to Mopar green 1970), red, and bright yellow (like Daytona yellow )
the yellow and green are taken off of 1974 Monaro colors.
I think you will get tamer colors so white is possible.

There is an argument currently on that no 454 left the factory, but there was a car body built for a 454 drop, and the car was built with special Australian Design Rules so it could be registered. car had full interior, badges lights, interior,etc.
Ran A-Mod and under the records of the day 74-75.
Ran 11.68 and had a ET of 132 (not at the same time )
The 132 indicates that our tracks had very poor traction as they never got the rubber build up US tracks got.
Car is currently being restored. Resides in my garage.
