turbo is there for scaring the shit out of you. I have a mag somewhere with a white A9X hatch with a turbo and the is 25yrs oldWhats the go with the turbo?
I know of another one with one on it aswell, did someone do them as an aftermarket/option thingy?
Would this detract or add to the value?

nice find and buy. Well done 
Didn't know dealers were into fitting Turbos to A9X's back then. Learn someting new each day.
As you said about head turning. The genral public don't know an A9X from one that lokks a bit like one. Any torrie with a tough sounding motor always turns heads (well apart from a UC, sorry UC guys thats just reality).

Good Onya Pip
The A9X would be my next pick if I had the Do Re Mi to get another Torana.

Just spent the whole day today hot washing underneath the a9x and it has come up a treat. Just recieved the original number plates for her as well. Car is much much nicer than i originally thought.Underneath all the dirt under the car is a near brand new car still with plating on most parts. Will have photos soon..Cheers..Guys..

Looks like the aerial is gone too. My old man had one on his XR Fairmont when I was a kid way back in the 70's. Had the clip on the gutter to hold it down, memories........
Wish he'd kept the XR for me. Sol it in about 1978, was a maroon colored 289. Sold it to a local young bloke who lowered it, put wide hotwires on it, it looked cool but wrote it off soon after.
Maybe it was just as well, if I'd got the XR I may never have gotten into Torana's.
That A9X looks awesome, an unrestored A9X is a rare beast indeed.
