1976 Holden Torana LX Hatch, SS review from Australia and New Zealand
"A real head turner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Because it's an original 'SS', parts are hard to find.
Hard to keep in original condition.
The interior needs reconditioning.
General comments?
It's bright orange, and is restored to original specifications.
It handles well and is able to beat most V8's off the line, due to the extensive work I've had done to the engine.
Turns a lot of heads with the bright orange paint work and 'SS' decals.
