I dunno, I've never seen Monaro tags (apart from on eBay).

Rare spares list the rubber kits for a 2 door as LC1 and LC1B-LC/LJ COUPE rubber kit. They must be wrong too.

I did have a 7" tv in the console, lol! I also had a 12volt video recorder for security under the back seatMost people just go for a 7' in the dash. well done2 doors are practical too sometimes! I could only *just* fit the 68cm tv I got in the passenger set of my 2door, wouldn't have fitted in a 4door...

I prefer the 2 doors, having said that I hate having to let people in and out of the backseat through the front doors, so I just don't put people in the back !

Well being the ex-owner of a 4 door and having 2 4 doors before that, I think I'd probably not have sold it if it was a 2 door. Both have practicial uses & BOTH are Torana's 
But I would have preferred a 2 door over the 4 door.

The 4door is only good for parts only. Rather not own one if it has 4drs.

can't believe thegong has 23 coupes! thats insane. Yeah i think the only reason they made 4 doors was so that people who owned coupes had more sources for parts

I like Commo-doors.
Wikipedia definition of a coupe - just to be technical
"A coup� (from the French couper to cut) or coupe is a car body style with a close-coupled interior offering either two seats or 2+2 seating (space for two passengers up front and for two occasional passengers in the rear). Through the 1950s convertible models were sometimes called convertible coup�s, but since the 1960s the term coup� has generally been applied exclusively to fixed-roof models. Coup�s generally, but not necessarily, have two doors, although automobile makers have offered four-door coup�s and three- and five-door hatchback coup�s, as well. Modern coup�s generally have the styling feature of frameless doors, with the window glass sealing directly against a weather-strip on the main body.
The SAE distinguishes a coup� from a sedan (saloon) primarily by interior volume; SAE standard J1100 defines a coup� as a fixed-roof automobile with less than 33 ft� (0.93 m�, 934 L) of rear interior volume. A car with a greater interior volume is technically a two-door sedan, not a coup�, even if it has only two doors. Some car manufacturers may nonetheless choose to use the word coupe or coup� to describe such a model, e.g., the Cadillac Coupe de Ville.
It is becoming more of a marketing term for automotive manufacturers, calling any two doors (or three door) a coup�. This is mostly due to the fact that coup�s in general are seen as more sporty than sedan, hence a coup� would be perceived as sportier than a 2-door sedan. Lately, some four door sedans are being marketed as coup�s, notably the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class. Marketing divisions from other companies are set to follow the example of Mercedes; for example Audi with its rumoured 4-door coup� variant of the upcoming A5".

I love my 4dr LJ and will hopefully never sell her, but i also like the look of a 2dr. in the end it comes down to what you can afford & what look you are after. Common misconception 2dr = XU1 or GTR, which = more chance of getting stolen by Johhny X who is looking for id tags or quick $$$.
All i know is there is 2 LJ's in my local area mine & a GTR V8 so rarity in my area is assured no matter how many doors.

2 doors all the way!
for some reason i personally cant see the beauty (as much) in a 4 door than what i can in a 2 door. 4 doors just dont look as...cool.
Personally i think 2 door anything (monaro, torana etc) just looks sportier and appeals to my way of thinking a lot more.
anyway theres my 2cents worth.
