Rare gem: 1970 Torana GTR-X
The Torana GTR-X, a rare Australian marvel, stands as a testament to ingenuity and automotive artistry. Conceived by GM-H in the late 1960s, this stunning sports car was envisioned to challenge the norms of its time. Boasting a unique combination of a fibreglass body atop a steel “ladder” chassis, reminiscent of the iconic Chevrolet Corvette, the GTR-X exuded both elegance and performance…

Michael Savage New Canaan The Countries That Produced the Top Muscle Mass Cars
Car enthusiasts around the globe can vouch for the fact that muscle automobiles are a vital part of car history, especially as it associates with speed up driving. American muscle mass is basically an American-made automobile that has a lot of power and provides really good velocity capabilities. In 1964, the expression "muscle car" was coined as an outcome of the intro of mid-sized Pontiacs that came geared up with a new feature offering high-performance V8 engines. At the time, a completely equipped Pontiac GTO can run 0 to 60 miles per hour in much less than 7 seconds. At that time, that was an outstanding feat for any type of car.
 As the years went by, other automobile suppliers entered on this cars and truck fad, as well as names like Buick, Chevy, Dodge, Ford and Plymouth all released their variation of these power race auto. It came to be a significant fad at that time, and soon several motor vehicle fanatics were driving this effective, yet inexpensive electric motor vehicle.
 As the years passed and also the appeal of muscular tissue automobiles raised worldwide, the various other markets around the world including Australia, South Africa and also the UK also emerged with their versions American muscle. The ones that stuck out especially from Australia were the 1971 LC GTR Torana as well as the XP Falcon Deluxe. South Africa gave the table the Fairmont GT in addition to the Chev SS, while the United Kingdom offered the marketplace the Z28 RS Camaro in 1968. The layouts were really excellent, but they never ever stuck out as signature muscular tissue vehicles due to the fact that they were not made in the United States where the initial of these powerful automobiles were made.
Michael Savage New Canaan
 Although there were numerous various other countries that put their spin on muscle mass automobiles and manufactured their very own models, these countries were the three notable ones that brought comparable models to the American ones formerly made. There were likewise individuals from various other countries that made use of the standards set by muscle cars to develop their very own, as well as brought out quite excellent trips, although they never made them into the main stream.
 Gradually, muscle mass vehicles were created with upgraded functions an enhanced power to make them more impressive. As well as today, they still continue to be some of the most excellent cars in background. Simply be prepared to pay a lot of cash for them if you ever feel the demand to have one!

Holden Torana GTR XU1-Bathurst, 1973. One of 150 special Bathurst edition LJ-series Torana XU1 models is coming up for auction in the UK. It is thought to be the only one in the UK and possibly in the Northern Hemisphere. The car has not been driven since 1985 and is need of restoration. It is finished in factory "Strike Me Pink". The last example sold at auction (in Australia), as a fully restored vehicle also finished in original Pink (bottom 2 pics), topped £160,000. I'll post an auction listing as soon as its published, the Torana will be offered at Silverstone Auctions Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show in March

5 Australian Muscle Cars Meaner Than "Mad Max" Loud vehicles that go fast in a straight line. That’s what it means to be a “muscle car.” The term refers to classics with names like GTO, Charger, and Fury. Each was born right here in America, thank you very much. That’s not to say that there haven’t been worthy overseas competitors. Down Under, the Aussies are known from building machines that can give our domestic champions a run for their money. Here’s a quick look at five great muscle cars built by Australia’s “Big Three:” Holden, Ford Australia, and Chrysler Australia. Each could hold its own on Main Street USA any day of the week.

1972 Dodge Charger Top speed: 134 mph, 0-100 km/h (62 mph) 6.1 seconds. The 4.3 L engine produced insane amounts of torque for a six-cylinder
Tumblr media
1969 Holden Monaro: With stats slightly better than those of the Falcon, the Monaro (from the aboriginal phrase meaning “to fly”) was a worthy competitor on both sides of the globe.
Tumblr media
1971 Ford Falcon GT: Considered the greatest of all Australian muscle cars, the Aussie version of the Falcon had a top speed of 139 mph and could go 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.4 seconds.
Tumblr media
1985 HDT VK SS: Even with government-imposed engine size limits cramping its style, the ’85 HDT went 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.1 seconds and topped out at 137 mph.
Tumblr media
1972 Holden Torana GTR: With a top speed of 137 mph, this bad boy could go 0-100 km/h (app. 62 mph) in 8.2 seconds – respectable if not exactly spectacular.
