Another brilliant version of the mighty Holden Torana! These were a limited edition model obviously. Most likely limited colour availability too I'm guessing. I've seen a yellow one like the one in the clip. I think it could be absinth yellow being an LH Torana and I've seen a red one. Not in real life though unfortunately. The red one could possibly be a mandarin red. I don't think Salamanca red was available on the LH Torana like it was on the previous LJ model. Don't know what other colours were available with this limited edition model other than the two I've seen. Someone will definitely know more about the G-Pak Torana than I do and might wish to enlighten me on what other colours were available.
knew someone who had a green g pak. it got stolen from a shopping centre carpark one day. it was found about a week later, stripped, in some "assholes" backyard. now, luckily, the asshole stole it to rebuild his own car, and all the panels were on his rolling body, the rest was virtually unscathed. good news was it was all recovered & the car was put back together.better than before including $5000 paintwork!!!
3.3 litre in such a light weight car, my dad had one way back in 1979, and I can still remember that thing went like a bat out of hell with the red motor!
I've driven two LH Toranas with the 202 pre emission control engines.......they had PLENTY of grunt! It was a perfect pairing. With the four speed manual, they were an enjoyable open road car as well. You've obviously never driven one.
GM was _cheap cheap cheap!_ That engine shouldn't have been allowed to be used in anything post-1968...ancient OHV, non-crossflow, fibre timing gear (read: CARDBOARD), restrictive manifolds and excess weight. Red Motor could only move the LH quickly due to the weight reduction...my HJ was a slow, cumbersome and thirsty vehicle which was dangerous at speeds over 100kmh.

A very bright green was also available.
@@noelgibson5956 Ah righto. That's interesting to know.

0:09 and 0:40 I guess the black stripe lining up with the doors and front wing were an optional extra lol
@H HOUR HOTEL try finding one now for anything less than a fortune
I want to drive it now!
@Don dunstan because it’s Legendary 👏 Contact your Local Aussie GM dealer… sorry u can’t Because they pulled the pin :(….
$294 in 1975...one could have opened up the classifieds and bought five viable old cars (or one decent EH Holden or similar) with that!
Did any have the 253 V8
They all had 202s
5hitbox then,5hitbox now
I cannot understand why we were dumped with this type gutless bloody six cylinder motor
Just soooo under powered
Eventually Holden got the Nissan six in the Commodore.
Petrol saver
