Holden produced the Torano between 1967 and 1979, selling the car in a number of different guises across three generations. This is a 1976 LX SS Hatchback model painted Tuxedo Black and is thought to be one of just 10 like it.
The exterior of this car has been equipped with the desirable A9X option that includes a rear-facing bonnet scoop, flared wheel arches, chrome bumpers, and wider wheels. Of the nine other Torano SS models built like this one, just two others had a 4-speed manual transmission like this example.
Further adding to the desirability of the car is the fact that it was rotisserie restored in 2018 and brought back to its original condition. It retains the original 5.0-liter L31 V8 engine, although it has been fully rebuilt. The original gearbox and limited-slip differential have also been retained and reconditioned.
