Seller's Description
If the idea of a compact six appealed and you didn’t have a huge budget, the GTR was the perfect starting point. These Torana's were effectively a stretched Vauxhall, albeit with a lot of redevelopment sunk into it, to not only cope with our local roads, but to accept an inline six power plant. And that was the key, all of a sudden we’re talking about a compact coupe with a full-size sedan’s engine shoe-horned into the nose. By other standards, a 161ci (2.6lt) engine is hardly something calculated to strike fear into the heart of the driver. but, at the time, it was a serious statement that this is a performance car to be taken seriously.

But while the Americans were very good at offering affordable performance in a compact package, usually one involving a big V8, Australians adopted the winning formula of jamming a powerful engine inside a regular car with a small body. The Holden Torana is an Australian car that started as a compact family car in 1967 and ended up becoming a very successful race and rally car after undergoing some modifications with the introduction of the LC GTR-XU1 in 1970. Yes, it was the LC-series Torana that put the model on the map. It was an instant hit with the public, with nearly 75,000 sold between 1969 and 1982. During that decade, the Torana LC GTR-XU1 achieved Australian legendary status, having garnered many victories in rallying and circuit racing, and every hoon in the Land Down Under dreamed of owning one.
