When You're Hot, You're Hot:
(circa 1972)
What is this Torana? 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
