WE’VE ALL got a ‘one that got

away’ story, but not many can

say they bought their ride from a

museum. Especially the Holden

museum in Echuca where it has

resided for the past decade. Hence

its very clean and tidy appearance.

This timewarp special looks at

a glance to be on of the uber-

performance models, but it isn’t.

In fact it is a Torana, sporting the

General’s small 253ci V8 bolted

to a four-speed M20 gearbox and

with matching numbers. Painted

in iconic Absinth Yellow it still

has its original trim down to the

radio cassette player. This LX has

only claims 106,000km since it

rolled out of the Holden factory in

1977 and has original log books,

owner’s manual and dealer folder

and the hotwires make it look very

similar to Brocky’s 1975 Bathurst

winner.
