1976 Holden LX Torana V8 4-Door Sedan
1976 Holden LX Torana 4-door sedan, 253ci (4.1-litre) V8 petrol, floor-shift manual gearbox (4-speed), rear-wheel drive, finished in Orange with black bonnet and A9X/SS-inspired styling. Odometer indicating 236,386 kilometres. Factory V8 specification confirmed. VIN: BLX028734MHR60477. Body Plate: LX8VB69.
Description / Overview:
The LX Torana is one of the most sought-after Australian classic cars, particularly in V8 form. Light, nimble, and powerful, the V8-equipped LX 4-door sits in a strong position in today's market, delivering genuine performance without the price premium of an A9X or GTR. This example has been presented with an A9X/SS-inspired exterior featuring bolt-on flared guards, black bonnet with scoop, body-colour front treatment and aftermarket alloy wheels. It is a tribute to the A9X look rather than a genuine A9X, and the factory body plate (LX8VB69) confirms a standard V8 sedan specification.
The vendor advises a solid list of performance and maintenance work has been carried out. Under the bonnet sits the factory V8 with performance additions: a high-rise intake manifold, Pacemaker extractors, Quick Jet carburettor, and MSD ignition. The service history includes a brake overhaul (calipers, hoses, fluid) and clutch replacement, both documented and carried out in 2020 by Penrith Brake and Clutch Service. The interior has been refreshed with new rubbers fitted throughout, gauges reported working, and the cream vinyl interior is in very good restored condition.
The orange paintwork is a quality respray presenting with strong gloss and straight bodywork. The compliance plate confirms a December 1976 build date. The engine number is listed as unsighted, and buyers are advised to physically verify this at inspection. The vendor notes gauges are in working order. Overall this is a clean, well-modified V8 Torana that presents as a genuine driver and show car with real performance potential.
