Mileage 100536 Engine 173 - 2835 - 6 Cylinder Rego SSL370 A landmark car in the history of General Motors Holden, the LH Torana was a major step forward for the company, the first time a mid-sized car had been designed and built with Australian conditions uppermost on the design brief. Unveiled in March 1974, the Torana boasted all-new bodywork with bigger dimensions all round and modern, elegant styling. A key to the LH Torana’s success was the extensive choice of engine and transmissions available to customers, including a 1.9-litre four-cylinder, 2.8 and 3.3-litre sixes, and two V8s (either 4.2 or 5.0 versions). The Torana underwent a major facelift in 1976 to the LX model, with the introduction of a hatchback variant perhaps the biggest news. The LX was equipped with the 3.3-litre six (although the bigger V8s were optional) and its interior was completely revised, with a new instrument panel and more supportive seats. The LX was also the first Holden to benefit from Radial Turned Suspension, introduced across the range in March 1977. The LX Torana is becoming increasingly sought after today, partly due to the rarity – few good ones have survived – and also for being indelibly linked to one of the greatest Holden muscle cars of all, the Torana A9X that was so much a part of the Golden Era of Group C racing during the 1970s.   This particular LX has benefited from a ground up restoration. In today's figures it would cost you well and truly over the asking price if you had to have this car professionally restored. Comes with a few touch extra's such as SLR trim and wheels. A stunning example that Im sure the next owners will benefit from our owners hard work and $$$$ This would make sure a cool SL/R tribute car as well. Just to add further clarity on the condition of this LX it recently took out third place at the Torana Nationals held here not long ago.
