1975 Holden Torana LH

Now offered for sale from our Sydney Showroom is this seriously impressive and highly developed 1975 Holden LH Torana, combining genuine street-car usability with serious 8-second quarter-mile performance. This is an engineered Big Block Torana built around a professionally prepared 598ci Chevrolet Big Block, backed by a Powerglide transmission and a comprehensive race-ready driveline. The engine was built by Dave Handley, a highly regarded name in the racing world, and has recently undergone a fresh rebuild. Since the rebuild, the engine has not been raced. The combination has produced an impressive 860 HP naturally aspirated on the engine dyno, with the addition of nitrous producing a staggering 1,146.4 HP at the wheels, as evidenced by the accompanying dyno results. Despite its serious strip credentials, the car has been developed to be driven on the street and is described as capable of being driven on weekends like a regular street car.
