no..its a Holden Torana SS...built for Bathurst and if its original its worth $100k

[retrogeezer]

Does look like a Kadett though...Holden/GM connection again and poss the same bodyshell?Health & Safety in the UK would have a fit with that kind of street racing..

[Volksy]

Think the Torana is a lot bigger, probably based on the same shell that our Rekord coupe was based on. Not sure though but compare the size of it to the Volvo 740 behind.

[fotorabia]

the original Toranas shared the same floorpan as the HB Viva...but these later models are actually a lot bigger than a Kadett..and were powered by 6 cyl or V8s.and our Kadetts here were Isuzu Geminis!

Fatastic!! I love the green Mk 1 Cortina, though I'm not sure I like the tail lights, even though it's a very well done swap. What are they from?
