In August 1970, the first ultra-performance Torana, the GTR XU-1, was developed by Holden along with Harry Firth of the Holden Dealer Team for competition in popular Series Production touring car racing within Australia. This car, built in February of 1971 is a super honest example with only very minimal alterations, only being the front seatbelts and the addition of a five-speed gearbox. The original gearbox and associated items are included with the sale of the car. Originally delivered through Kevin Dennis Motors and owned by Kevin himself who is believed to have campaigned the car in motorsport events up until 1973 when it changed hands to the second owner. The eye popping Plumdinger paintwork has been redone at some point of the cars life and still presents nicely. Inside, although showing signs of wear and tear is completely original and could either be redone or left as is by the next owner. Under the [...]

1973 Ford Falcon XA GT RPO83 Hardtop - Muscle Car Warehouse

1973 Ford Falcon XA GT RPO83 Hardtop.

Sometimes a special car will be offered to the market, but rarely is there a special story that goes with it too. This sensational Falcon XA GT RPO83 Hardtop is one of those cars. Purchased by the current owner forty years ago initially for his wife and only used sparingly until approximately 1988 at which time it was parked and left unused. Fast forward to 2014 and a restoration was started on the car and not finished until recently. During this period and as part of the restoration process an ACCHS report was obtained by the owner and it was discovered the car was originally built with highly desirable “Öption 83”, which any Falcon GT enthusiast would know consisted of parts originally destined for the Falcon XA GTHO Phase 4’s, namely the 780 Holley carburettor, HM Headers and in some cases the winged sump. On top of that [...]

Holden LH Torana SLR L32 - Muscle Car Warehouse

1974 HOLDEN LH L32 SL/R TORANA.

March 1974 had the first completely new Torana body, with the arrival of the larger mid-sized LH series, produced in four-door sedan style only. Despite the larger external size, the car was relatively cramped by mid-1970s standards. The 5.0-litre engine was reserved for the sporting LH Torana SL/R 5000 sedan. A special build derivative of the SL/R 5000 was the Bathurst-intended ‘L34 Option’, of which only 263 were built, with a higher-compression engine with stouter components for more power and durability in competition use. The most notable external feature of the L34 was the bolt-on wheel arch extensions, designed to accommodate the larger racing rims and tyres. Overall, a total of 70,184 LH Toranas was built. A few special models of the LH were built, the somewhat sporting Plus 4 and G-Pak models. The Plus 4 arrived in September 1974 and was an attempt to move a few more of [...]

1988 HSV VL SS Group A Walkinshaw - Muscle Car Warehouse

1988 Holden VL Walkinshaw Group A.

The Holden Commodore (VL) is a mid size car that was produced by Holden from 1986 to 1988. It was the final iteration of the first generation of the Holden Commodore and included the luxury variant, Holden Calais (VL). Between February 1986 and August 1988, 151,801 VL model Commodores were built. The VL Commodore represented a substantial makeover of the VK, and would be the last of the mid size Commodores until 2018. The designers sought to soften the lines for the VL, rounding off the panels and introducing a small tail spoiler built into the bootlid  Holden also implemented rectangular headlamps as opposed to the square shaped ones fitted to earlier models. For the top-of-the-range Calais model, the design incorporated the use of semi-retracting headlight covers, the first for a production Holden. The Calais covered headlights were the same as the regular VL Commodore headlights. Major changes were [...]

Holden Torana L34 SL/R 5000 - Muscle Car Warehouse

The L34 option, which was first seen in 1975, proved to be fast and successful, yet fragile, in Australian touring car racing. It was eventually superseded by the evolutionary A9X option made available in the LX Torana series in 1977. The A9X was delivered with a standard 5.0 but used the L34 motor in races which was developed by Repco for the LH SL/R 5000 H.O. L34. The A9X version of the Torana had a larger 10-bolt Salisbury differential with disc brakes and had the option of the Borg Warner Super T10 four-speed. Hardly any cars were delivered with Super T10 option, so in effect the immortalized A9X was a pretty stock car with a better differential and suspension. The LH Torana in L34 form won the Bathurst 1000 touring car race with Peter Brock and Brian Sampson in 1975 and with Bob Morris and John Fitzpatrick in 1976, with the L34 motor being fitted [...]
