1976 Holden Torana LX SS Hatch Tribute - Red - 100,000km - 308ci V8, 4-Speed Manual
The Holden Torana SS represents a golden era of Australian muscle car engineering. The LX generation (1974-1978) was the final iteration of this iconic nameplate, and the SS variant with its 308 cubic inch V8 engine remains one of the most sought-after configurations. This particular example is a genuine factory SS, finished in period-correct bright red with black hood stripes and the distinctive SS badging that defined the model's performance credentials.
The exterior presents well for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The red metallic paint holds good gloss across all visible panels with minor stone chipping consistent with 50 years of use and 100,000 kilometres of driving. Panel gaps are even and straight, with no evidence of major accident repair or panel replacement. The factory steel wheels are fitted with period-appropriate tyres, and the overall stance reflects the original factory specification. Interior trim shows honest wear commensurate with age and kilometres, with the original cream vinyl upholstery displaying patina rather than damage. The dashboard is intact with all original gauges present and functional. The 4-speed manual gearbox operates smoothly through all ratios, and the clutch engages positively from a fully mechanical pedal arrangement.
The 308 cubic inch V8 engine is the genuine heart of this SS. Producing 135 kilowatts in standard form, this naturally aspirated V8 delivers the authentic character that made the Torana SS a genuine performance car of its era. The engine bay is clean and original, with the red-painted block and cast iron manifolds showing their age gracefully. All ancillary systems are present and functional. At a time when classic Australian muscle cars command strong collector interest, this Torana SS represents genuine investment potential. The combination of factory SS specification, matching numbers, manual transmission, and honest original condition places this vehicle squarely in the collector market. Recent comparable sales of similar LX SS models have achieved $18,000 to $28,000 depending on condition and originality, with manual examples commanding a premium over automatic variants.
