How popular are coupes in Australia?
By popular do you mean prevalent? Hard to say, maybe 70 to 100 or so. They keep emerging from garages. I suspect that quite a few have emerged to undergo restoration because the increased values justify it. Not many were delivered new here so many, if not most, of the resident cars are imports from RHD countries.
If by popular you mean popular then that's also hard to say. Most people don't know about them, however they seem to be universally admired once seen.

Compared to same era collector cars, I know they love American muscle cars.
Car is Ceylon. No bolt left unturned in restoration. Worth every penny considering a tired CS needing a load of work went for 74k on the hammer plus add ons here a couple of months back.
Well some of us do. I would call it close between Euro, Brit and American with classic Japanese getting stronger all the time. Viva la difference, oui?
Have yet to see much from Indian or Soviet era collectibles, like an Indian Premier Padmini or a Russian Gaz M23, ( the KGB version ). By rights I should get me one of those, even though they did leave off a Z. Two zeds would have been capitalistic and ostentatious I suppose.

go ceylon ... such a wonderful color.
Gorgeous! Only nit is that it sits sky high. Needs some lowering springs to go w/those Alpinas IMHO.
I can't wait to see that one car where you can't find at least one thing "wrong" with it.

Probably the photo angle as the car has lowering springs and stance was very nice in the flesh.
