Management Material: 1977 Holden Torana LX SL/R + Mid-resto Monaro GTS

February 15, 2017

Back in August 2016 me and Dad have a chance meeting with a lovingly restored 253-powered Holden Torana SL/R. The Torana has always been a prime candidate for a Street Machine makeover, or made to resemble the more desirable L34 or A9X optioned variants.

This Torana sedan was built in 1977. It has a 4,142cc V8 engine.
