Description:

1978 Holden UC Torana Coupe A9X Tribute - Orange - 5.0L V8 Automatic



Overview



This 1978 Holden UC Torana is a two-door coupe presented in an A9X-inspired tribute configuration, finished in striking orange and powered by a 5.0-litre V8 paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive.



Importantly, this vehicle is presented as an A9X tribute and is not being represented as a genuine factory-built A9X. Its exterior has been configured with a number of A9X-style visual cues, giving the Torana the purposeful competition-inspired appearance associated with Holden's iconic late-1970s performance cars.



The orange exterior is complemented by contrasting black striping, prominent bonnet scoop, flared wheel arches, front spoiler and rear spoiler. Polished alloy wheels complete the muscular period-inspired presentation.



Under the bonnet is a naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine driving the rear wheels through an automatic transmission. The odometer is indicating just 29 kilometres; however, the dash is not original and this reading should not be regarded as the vehicle's total distance travelled.



With its two-door coupe body, V8 power and A9X tribute styling, this Torana offers a distinctive interpretation of one of the most recognisable looks from Australia's classic performance-car era.
