Torana Tank Tops
Description: HOLDEN TORANA SL/R 5000 Holden’s V8-engined Torana came to be at a time when parts of the world were turning their back on fuel-guzzling cars. Parts of the world excluding Australia anyway. What the SL/R 5000 had on its side was swagger. The SLR was an emblem of the cashed-up bogan; brash and loud with the looks and aerodynamics of a Besser (concrete) block. However, with its guards pumped out to clear fat wheels, an air-dam, rear rear duck-tail, stripes and decals it could at least look like a racing car. (text source: tradeuniquecars.com.au)
Description: In the somewhat wet 1972 Hardie-Ferodo 500, the lightweight HDT Torana GTR XU-1 was able to finally claim victory against the heavyweight (Ford Falcon) GT-HOs, 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. Like the advertising of the time - “When you’re hot, you’re hot!” Drawn from a photo.

Description: 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, as well as in off-road rallying and unique rallycross events. However, the highlight purpose of the Torana GTR XU-1 was to keep the Holden brand competitive against the larger and more powerful Ford Falcon GT-HO in the Hardie-Ferodo 500 (Bathurst) endurance race that some consider to be the jewel in the crown of Australian motorsport.
