    First time I've ever heard a car salesman actually say something pretty damn cool. That fan does scavenge a fair bit of power from the crank pulley and upset the balance for high revving etc. Nice to see you really appreciate the heritage and pedigree of these cars.

    The A9X would the top muscle car, Having driven a GTHO Phase 3 and a A9X back in the early 80's, (The Torana had a fully worked over 308), A9X has to be the best all round muscle car ever made here, even thou I'm a ford fan from 1970s

    had one for many years a 4 door caribbean turquoise always knew that they would jump in value but for family reasons[needed money] sold it for a song still the biggest regret of my life. I loved that car and drove it almost full boot everywhere. Had the 2.60 statesman rear end ratio and combined with m21 it would do 55 kph in first gear at 3000 rpm ,110 at 6000 and 165 at 9000 rpm . I swap out the original engine for a while replacing it with possibly the most radical L34 platform race engine in the country at the time with 11.5 to 1 compression running on avgas 115 octane able to reach 9000 rpm. It ran an Ignition Developments L34 dizzy using 2 500000 volt

      sound does not equal horsepower; too large an exhaust pipe actually loses power by reducing the extractor effect in the primary pipes.

    I’ve always thought hatch back toranas looked very similar to mk2 ford escorts. Just bigger.
    Considering they came out 2 years after the mk2 escort which would be about the time frame in which you could take a car a copy it really doesn’t help holdens best car.
    Rally arches and all.

  • @wallywalpamur4960
    @wallywalpamur4960 3 года назад

    Problem 1, A9X didn't have window molding. Problem 2, the blackout around the edges of the bonnet are wrong for a A9X hatch indicating the "original" paint is a respray. Never ever seen an interior with this colour combo, did they run out of the black trims or brown dash and consoles? lol. Who's the original owner and what's his story with the weird interior? Credit for using the proper cluster with the brake light bottom centre and for not using one of those rare spare after market steering wheel centre caps with SS logo,which never existed. Problem 3, rebirthing is just far too easy, especially for an owner with a written off A9X 😁.
