1970 Holden LC Torana GTR – LJ XU‑1 Replica
1970 Holden LC Torana GTR two‑door coupe, professionally restored and presented as an LJ XU‑1 replica. Rear‑wheel drive configuration powered by a 3.3‑litre (202ci) inline‑six petrol engine, paired with a five‑speed manual transmission. Odometer indicating 4,526 miles (with engine build details noted). Finished in Metallic Black with black interior trim.
Description/Extras:
This LC Torana GTR represents a well‑executed tribute to the highly sought‑after LJ XU‑1, retaining strong drivability while showcasing classic Holden competition styling. The vehicle has been fully restored and stored indoors, reflecting careful ownership. Originally finished in Lina Mint, later Tiger Mica, it is now presented in Commodore Metallic Black, offering a purposeful and aggressive appearance.
The interior has been completely restored with new black trim throughout, including seats, door cards, roof lining, and carpets. LJ‑specification lights, grille, dash, and steering wheel have been fitted, reinforcing the XU‑1 look and feel. The vehicle is club‑rego licensed and supplied with an owner’s manual, making it suitable for enthusiast use and classic motoring events.
Mechanically, the car features a built 202ci blue‑block engine with forged pistons and balanced internals, topped with a 12‑port cylinder head and roller rockers. A Crow camshaft, extractors, and ICE electronic ignition provide strong performance and reliability. For improved drivability, the current owner has replaced the original triple carburettor setup with a Holley 350, creating a more turn‑key driving experience. Cooling is handled by a PWR radiator, and power is delivered through a Celica five‑speed manual gearbox to a standard banjo differential with 3.36:1 LSD.
Minor cosmetic marks are noted, including light paint imperfections and a small scratch on the rear spoiler, consistent with use and presentation. Overall, this Torana offers an excellent balance of classic motorsport style, mechanical upgrades, and usability, making it an ideal addition to a Holden enthusiast’s collection.
