For sale is a rare to find Dolly Yellow LC GTR XU-1 Torana in magnificent restored condition. This matching numbers XU-1 has undergone a full nut and bolt restoration and is for sale from our Sydney Showroom. 

Just sitting in this magnificent XU-1 example takes you back to the hard fought enduro between Holden, Chrysler and Ford as they pitted showroom cars against each other with the podium winner earning a tremendous sales boost and a deliciously attractive advertisement for the brand. 

Holden's faith in the Torana quickly proved a good decision when in September, 1970, Colin Bond, in an XU-1 dusted off Bob Jane's Monaro 350 at the Gold Star series production race. And by October, the all Torana XU-1 line-up with star drivers Norm Beechey, Colin Bond, and an emerging Peter Brock, took out a class victory.

Built in August 1970 at the Adelaide Holden Plant, this XU-1 features the original 3100X 186S engine with a Bathurst 35/70 cam, new lifters, roller rockers, XU-1 head, original triple Stromberg 1.5s, correct date stamped distributor, date code correct Opel 4 speed gearbox and the 3.36:1 ratio LSD. The Torana has the correct hose clamps, wiper motor, heater box, big nut brake master, steering box and the 64-litre (17 gallon) fuel tank. The XU-1 retains its original day one compliance plates and matching body number.  

The XU-1 has been fully retrimmed with the factory 40V black trim, with new door cards, roof lining and carpets with the original crash pad, steering wheel and gauges all still in their place. The XU-1 is showing 18,731 miles. 

The underside of the XU-1 has also been fully restored and features the correct fuel lines, clamps, springs, diff tag and single exhaust to the rear where the current owner has chosen to deviate slightly from originality with a twin system exit.

In the boot is the restored original long range fuel tank, boot matt and an original spare steel rim. The car is riding on 4 original steel rims with restored chrome dress rims, genuine caps and genuine Acorn wheel nuts. The rims are fitted with Bridgestone 175/70R13 all round. 

The LC GTR XU-1 is actually a much harder car to source than it's LJ brother and this Dolly Yellow example will absolutely satisfy even the most demanding Torana expert. Supplied with a full ICAARS vehicle inspection report. Proudly for sale from our Sydney Showroom.
