1970 Holden LC Torana GTR XU1 - Yellow Dolly
Just sitting in this magnificent XU-1 example takes you back to the hard fought enduro between Holden, Chrysler and Ford as they pitted showroom cars against each other with the podium winner earning a tremendous sales boost and a deliciously attractive advertisement for the brand.
Holden's faith in the Torana quickly proved a good decision when in September, 1970, Colin Bond, in an XU-1 dusted off Bob Jane’s Monaro 350 at the Gold Star series production race. And by October, the all Torana XU-1 line-up with star drivers Norm Beechey, Colin Bond, and an emerging Peter Brock, took out a class victory.
Built in August 1970 at the Adelaide Holden Plant, this XU-1 features the original 3100X 186S engine with a Bathurst 35/70 cam, new lifters, roller rockers, XU-1 head, original triple Stromberg 1.5s, correct date stamped distributor, date code correct Opel 4 speed gearbox and the 3.36:1 ratio LSD. The Torana has the correct hose clamps, wiper motor, heater box, big nut brake master, steering box and the 64-litre (17 gallon) fuel tank. The XU-1 retains its original day one compliance plates and matching body number.
The XU-1 has been fully retrimmed with the factory 40V black trim, with new door cards, roof lining and carpets with the original crash pad, steering wheel and gauges all still in their place. The XU-1 is showing 18,731 miles.
