I found this Pic on the oldholden.com site, there is Pics of a guy doing up a HQ SS Sedan he has owned for along time, he has a Pic of his HQ SS parked next to a Red LJ GTR 308 V8 Torana, he says the GTR was Originally a Strike Me Pink 253 V8 LJ GTR, it has Number plate showing, its a WA Rego Number Plate, 9GN308.
So looks like a New Freedom of Information check
Just looking for something else and found my picture with the above Quote so
This is a reply to a very old quote but I want to put the record straight on this car.
The Red LJ GTR 308 V8 Torana was Originally a Strike Me Pink LJ GTR ( the strike me pink paint was under the red and evident in lots of places)
The car was regoed as a 253 V8 and It was 253/trimatic and 9 inch combo then had the 308 fitted later.
What engine was fitted from factory no idea.
The was the car in use.
Cheers Paul.

That picture was taken in 1995/6 the other a few years later about 1998/9.
Not sure what happened to it after that.

And djconner74
and where are these photos of said LJ XU1, Seeing is believing djconner74.
xu2308
I said I was LOOKING for photos and not had photos. if you do a search on the news from sept 19 this yr involving muscle car rebirthing you will understand why its important why we need these photos....... I put the call out to everybody and anybody from the days of the old vic torana car club who might have been there when ian cooper and carol cooper were there and that might have pics. either rallying or circuit ie sandown calder or winton. this is very very very VERY important to me and my family.

Hi all, when mine was around it was smp with black racing stripes big tank in boot and roll cage with switch panel on roof. Raced when peter hass was around. Raced at winton back in late 70s and very early 80s around the time that the VW bug parked itself in the lake at the end of the straight at that track before they rebuilt it. Rallied at alpine rally and George woods novice trials. Hoping that some old members of the old Vic torana car club might remember carol and ian cooper(who used to work as head auto elec at holden dandy and fisherman's bend) and the torana and might have pics of any race days etc etc.

No but it was very similar, not sure if peter is still around, I have been out of rallying for a long time so I have lost contact with a lot of people.
