CONDITION DETAILS
MECHANICAL- Awesome hot 308 stroked to 355 V8 with a load of high performance extras make this torana exceptionally desireable and unique.
Almost $20,000 reputedly spent on the engine by last owner— indeed one drive of this wild beast and its very obvious its had major work. See the full list below and specs which have verification.
The Hurst quick shifter is awesome fun to play with the endless power this beast has and makes it such a rush to drive.
Still smooth and sweet enough to enjoy cruising in comfort, a 2500 stall converter keeps it sweet on the street but with all the guts to get the adrenaline going when you want.

Toranas are such an incredible investment now and going up at such a huge rate I totally hate to part with this beast. Its one of the meanest, fastest and loudest I have had (and thats saying a fair bit). I absolutely love it. Driving it is the best rush.
However I have a business and it has to most regretfully go. As always I have priced it to sell fast as I have way too many cars right now and it has to sold so I can move onto the others.
