Rare Holden Torana fetches $775,000 AAP 10 hrs ago Tim Dornin © PR HANDOUT The Holden Torana A9X is considered one of Australia s most sort-after muscle cars.
A rare 1977 Holden Torana A9X, originally destined for the racetrack, has sold at auction for $775,000.
The two-door hatchback was essentially one of just 33 produced by Holden and is considered one of Australia s most sort-after muscle cars.
Holden built the 33 A9X hatchback shells in 1977, enough to last the expected racing life for the model.
They were double seam welded, all painted white and sold exclusively to race teams.
But Lloyds Auctions says there was considerable uproar from rival teams when word got out the shells were built with thinner gauge steel, making them considerably lighter than standard production cars they were supposed to mirror.
