It's a rally car, it's a road car, with six cylinder power and compact size. It's Torana, great to drive and easy to own. It's the winningest car in the country. Torana - when you're hot, you're hot! It's Torana. I will do my very best to get pics up by the weekend as ive had a bundle of interest from interstate. All i can say is for the money, this car will nto disappoint, the body is one of the best you will see for its age unrestored unmodified

and they weigh in at 870kg!!!!!!!!!! imagine one 500hp RB in it.. minimum of 9's if you get it to the ground, i was actually contemplating putting my running gear in this car and go for a real number, then i deceided to put a small block v8 in it and just have a mild cruiser, now time has come i cant have 4 toys with 1 garage.. have to make way for a newbie so this 1 has to go but i did so much shopping around b4 buying this 1 forgot to mention the current engine in it leaks oil pretty bad from the rocket cover. i have a spare engine and gearbox for this car which will come with the sale i bought a brand new battery for it as well to crank it over. started straight away but didnt like to idle. give this thing a service and a tune up and it'll be drivable straight away and being as original as it is, it'll pass rego without a problem. the dash in it is immaculate as well
