For sale is a fully restored UC Torana Hatchback built into an A9X Torana Tribute featuring a full exterior conversion with LX front and rear treatment and LX interior conversion. Running a Queensland engineered and Mod Plated 304 EFI engine, Turbo 700 4 speed automatic gearbox and 9" LSD diff. Presented for sale from Tin Can Bay, QLD. 

In Dulux Hot Lips 2 pack epoxy with A9X gloss blackouts and Black cloth trim this SS Hatchback Replica has been built to a very high standard and is Queensland mod plated, engineered and has full Queensland registration.  

Like their Falcon GT Replica cousins, the UC Torana was an easy conversion given that the A9X did in-fact use an UC floor pan in their design. Purchased by the current owner in 2008, the UC was stripped and rebuilt, repainted in 2009 and re-trimmed in the Black vinyl and Herringbone cloth trim combination. The body has been fitted with A9X style wide body flares, Stedi LED headlights with Halo, a Brown Davis 120 Litre Motorsport Drop Tank and 15" US Racing alloy wheels. 

The dash has been converted to the LX Torana layout incorporating all the factory gauges, SS Torana steering wheel and LX doors cards. Integrated Air-conditioning has been installed and a Pioneer Audio Stereo fitted with slide out 7” display, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a Pioneer Subwoofer with 4 channel Amp. The Torana has been fitted with a full rubber kit, new carpets, hood lining and tinted windows. 

Mechanically, the UC is running a fully rebuilt 5 Litre EFI V8 with mild cam, a 2 1/2” dual exhaust system with dual Catalytic high flow converters, through to a Turbo 700 4 speed Automatic and a 9 inch LSD.  The Torana has travelled less than 5,000klms since the rebuild. Disk brakes, vented up front stop the Tory and the Rack & Pinion steering has been rebuilt and Pedders shocks and lowered springs with front and rear stabiliser bars have been fitted.

The rear hatch is presented in immaculate order with new boot carpet, boot timbers, spare wheel and tools. Fitted with a remote GPS alarm/immobiliser. 

Riding on Nankang NA-1 tyres 205/65R15 on the front and 265/50R15 on the rear. With full QLD registration until 18th November, 2025. 

Built to cruise, this is a super reliable well sorted and comfortable Torana Hatchback. Ready for the next custodian to enjoy.
