    An LC Torana 4 door with front discs is a rare beast! Only GTRs and XU1s had discs ! It either been modified or is a factory special order! 71, 72 and very early 73 was the LC, find the body number stamped on the firewall and find out!

    Hi DJ, Definitely worth restoring that Torana.
    Throw in some floor pans and fix the structural rust and good to go for and easy resto.

    Once you get this Torana going and actually drive it , you just might change your mind about Torana's. These are a drivers car, nimble and can be powerful. Take it around your speedway track and see just how confident it feels when its sideways.

      @@pauledwards6446 How old are you ??? I am not comparing it to modern high tech expensive cars. I owned six of these during the 70s, 80s and 90s. They did manage to win Bathurst , defeating the fastest street car of the time. This was due to nimble handling and power to weight. Why do you think they are worth so much now??? Because those who owned and drove them , loved them. In 1972 these could out drive almost anything else on the road.

    Be great for the channel to go a 4 door to 2 door conversion. Grab a couple of 2 door doors and build up the body from there .. Bothe the 4 door & 2 door share the same roof line so it very do-able !!

    Be careful with the under dash, if it's in good condition that part alone is worth more then the rest of that car. And unless you do a lot of work to the chassis rails and floor that car won't be driving anywhere soon, PS you do realize every part to these cars are welded together including the door hingers, just giving you a heads up. IF it was a 2 door in that condition, YES build it, but this is not worth $$s its going to cost for parts. And the work to get it drivable on the road and still leaving it looking beat up will still be to much work and $$, trust me I've built a dozen of these little cars.
