When I bought my LX it had over 400,000 on the clock! The motor had been rebuilt at 300, not I cared, I bought it as a shell to stick all my good gear into.

Ive been trying to purchase a genuine 19 mile LC torana for the last 20 years. Yes you read that correctly, 19 miles. It didnt make it home from the dealer when it was picked up from brand new, and is still sitting in a shed untouched. the owner still wont part with it.
Its nothing special, just a more-door LC with the opel 4spd box, but being a genuine low-kay car I want it.

Mine has a touch over 1000k's on the clock, not sure how many the old girl really did when it was in tassy, have put another instrument cluster in, but here in Perth whats on the clock is whats she's done, in my hands anyway.

Mine has just over 227,000 kms but only about 5,000 since the rebuild which was over 13 years ago now.

That works out to be a bit over 380 km per year since the rebuild and 1500 km of that was done in one trip when I moved to Queensland. :blink:

I definitely need to start driving it more often.

old GML31 has 147000 odd on it... what I can see from this is not many people use their torries much... I am glad to say mine goes on nearly every club run plus nearly every saturday night it ventures out for our social club nights. I dont wanna die saying I wish I drove it more. Nothing looks more spectactular than our litttle group with half a dozen toranas out every saturday night.

Perhaps............... there are 35 voluntary replies to this thread on a forum of "how many"? "dedicated" torana owners......and how many daily driver torries are out there that dont visit this forum?
