1974 Holden Torana LH SL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Built Holden Tough, that's exactly what they are - tough, powerful but primitive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blown head gasket.
That's all.
General comments?
They built the old Holdens so well back then and they are very sturdy and tough, and I feel safe in it if I were to have a crash.
It still has the original 26 year old engine in it and it still went quite well, good enough for my first car, if you're looking for a fair bit of power I suggest you go for the 3300 (3.3), but the 2850 still has enough power.
