rofl @ ^Wasn't every torana pre A9X production a prototype?
There were quite a few 75 hatches (some with square headlights and floor dipper), so he is probably talking out his arse - without seeing the car of course. Just being 75 doesn't make it special.
$100k - tell him he's dreaming.
What was the numberplate on it?

It was also at the same show last year. Nice car but I almost fell over when heard him disclosed the price to someone. Still has Victorian number plates on the car.
The yellow hatch was an exceptional finish & attracted a lot of attention. Especially me. Did anyone find out the price of the unflared white hatch?

There certainly were some very nice cars there yesterday including the Toranas. I have photos of the cars above which I will try to post up tonight.
John - I didnt catch the price on the unflared hatch.
Wasnt a bad show this year even though it pissed down rain. Managed to pick up a small pile of Torana bits and 6 old Budget Build Ups for $8.
Pity the bar wasnt open though as I well and truly had my drinking boots on.
Good to catch up with a forum members and club members as well.

Photos from yesterday.
Ando - I didnt see yours mate, you must have packed up and gone by the time I got around to that area. I did see a couple of other QTCC cars though.
I will start with the Torana's and post the rest later on.
This was for sale but dunno how much.
This was for sale and apparently for $100k. No comment
Beautiful little HB that belongs to a QTCC member
The Yellow Hatch as mentioned above.
Valencia Orange UC. Nice car, nice colour, but maybe I am biased
Another QTCC Car

We were gone by lunch. Had to get home & wash the car after ploughing a 300m mud furrow in the rain soaked field getting out of there.
Still was worth going though. Always a good turn out at that event.

70's Corvettes are one car that look great with modern BIG wheels on them....
Not sure why, but that Vette got me all excited.
