Description / Overview:

A classic Australian sedan from Holden’s VC Torana lineup. The VC series represented the final evolution of the Torana range and is well regarded for its balance of practicality and performance potential, making it a popular platform for enthusiast modifications.



The vendor advises the vehicle has received a number of mechanical upgrades including an extensively rebuilt 202 engine with oversized pistons and balancing, along with performance components and upgraded induction. The vehicle is also fitted with a 5‑speed Celica gearbox conversion and a drop fuel tank, both of which reportedly carry modification plates. Additional work includes recently replaced suspension bushes and a recent service.
