1978 UC Torana SL Hatchback
With the popularity of the Torana SL Hatchback soaring to new heights, this super tidy 1978 UC Torana SL Hatch in Flamenco Red could be just the go for the Torana Hatchback enthusiast. Running a 202 6 cylinder engine believed to be original with mild cam, Holley carby and headers through to a M20 4 speed manual gearbox and 3.36 ratio diff.
On the exterior the paintwork is excellent. It has had a good quality respray approximately 5 years ago and is set off nicely with those rare restored 14 x 8" V4 Simmons three piece racing wheels and new tyres. The owner has re-chromed the front and rear bumper bars, replaced the rear trailing arm and diff housing bushes, replaced upper and lower control arm bushes and bolts, serviced all brakes and wheel bearings and installed a new speedo cable assembly. A battery cutoff and ignition immobiliser have also been fitted.
The engine bay is clean and detailed and there are no oil leaks. She runs smooth and strong and is super reliable. And with the Radial Tuned Suspension and race tuned A9X floor pan, the UC drives and handles better than the LH or LX Toranas that pre-dated the UC. Recent works include an excellent period correct re-trim to the interior and new headlining.
While not perfect, this UC Torana SL is a very good example and always attracts attention on the few times it gets driven. Offers over $38,000 invited.

Vehicles offered for sale through AMCS are the responsibility of the Owner / Seller. AMCS acts as the Seller's agent and relies fully on the information provided by the Seller of the vehicle in the advertising and sale of each vehicle. AMCS takes no responsibility for the accuracy or veracity of the information provided by the Seller.
When a Buyer wishes to speak to the owner or inspect a vehicle listed for sale on the AMCS web site, AMCS will request a copy of the potential buyers driver's license or a business card along with an email address and phone number. This is provided to the seller as confirmation of the legitimacy of the buyer and the seller is then asked to contact the potential buyer to discuss the car and set up an inspection if required.
The Buyer must make his own enquiries and inspections regarding the condition, authenticity and veracity of the vehicle and any statements made by the Seller, and satisfy themselves in all aspects prior to purchasing the car from the Seller. The Buyer understands there is no warranty or guarantee offered by either the Seller or AMCS.
If upon inspection the Buyer is not satisfied with the car for any reason and does not wish to proceed with the purchase the owner is advised and any personal details are deleted from AMCS records.
If the Buyer is satisfied with the car and a price is agreed to with the Seller a formal tax invoice is prepared by AMCS and sent to the Buyer for payment to the AMCS audited Trust Account.
