1979 Holden Torana UC review from Australia and New Zealand
"The worst Torana ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Prone to rust.
Fuel pump died recently.
Carby needs overhaul (not fixed yet).
Needs a lot of warming up.
General comments?
This car can bounce up and down at the lights cause the shockies are gone and the suspension is real soft.
Good for sliding around corners.
It's terrible for acceleration but seeing as how I paid $200 for it, it's not bad.
The large steel bumpers are excellent for hitting rubbish bins, parking cones and shopping trollies.
