In the somewhat wet 1972 Hardie-Ferodo 500, the lightweight HDT Torana GTR XU-1 claimed victory against the heavyweight GT-HO, driven solo for 500 miles (800 km) by Peter Brock. This would be the start of the ‘Peter Perfect’/Torana legend, and the first of five Bathurst wins for the Torana in its colourful 10-year racing career at Bathurst. This beautifully restored example is a great representation of the LJ GTR XU-1 model. The factory colour, Patina Gold is unique and displays elegance to this little pocket rocket. Sitting on period correct Sprint Master mags. Sporting the original black vinyl interior which is still in fantastic condition. Under the hood is the matching number 202 “JP” straight six engine with triple carbs. The XU-1 was produced in February of 1973 and sold in March of 1973 through City Auto Sales PTY. LTD. In Toowoomba, Queensland. An extensive amount of paperwork comes with the car too. Showing just under 47,000 miles.
