1976 HOLDEN TORANA LX SS

MODEL OVERVIEW:

Introduced in 1976, the Holden Torana LX SS carried forward the aggressive character of the SLR Sedan models with a new Hatchback version, offered with a range of engines from the robust L20 202ci inline six through to the L31 5.0-litre (308ci) Holden V8. Distinctive SS styling cues included bold striping with SLR level interior, while beneath the surface the platform delivered balanced handling via its lightweight body and well-sorted suspension package. Today, the Torana LX SS holds a unique position in the Australian muscle car history for it's strong connection to Holden’s golden era of performance engineering and enduring Australia car culture.

1976 HOLDEN TORANA LX SS HATCH – 355 STROKER V8

* GENUINE SS – 3 OWNER CAR – 30 YEAR OWNERSHIP
* 355 HARROP STROKER – BUILT DRIVELINE
* NEAR IMMACULATE – TRUE SHOW QUALITY PRESENTATION

A true icon of Australian muscle, this 1976 Holden Torana LX SS Hatch delivers the perfect combination of authentic SS pedigree, long-term ownership and serious enhanced performance.

A genuine LX SS (LX8VD77) with a known three-owner history, this example has been retained by its current owner for approximately 30 years and is accompanied by its original Holden books from new — a rare and highly desirable combination.

Finished in factory Mandarin Red, the car presents in near immaculate condition throughout, with outstanding body and paintwork that immediately sets it apart. The finish highlights the Torana’s iconic hatch profile, delivering true show-quality presence.

Under the bonnet sits a Harrop-built 355ci stroker V8, delivering strong, proven performance, paired with a manualised Powerglide transmission and 3500rpm TCE stall converter for sharp response and acceleration.

Power is delivered through a shortened Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.5 ratio, full spool and 31-spline Mosier axles, supported by a Rod Shop chassis kit, upgraded suspension and braking, creating a highly capable and well-sorted street and show package.

Inside, the cabin is trimmed in 18V Black & Grey Golfball vinyl, presenting in near unmarked condition, retaining its factory look and complementing the car’s exceptional overall presentation.

Factory L20 202 - M20 4 Speed SS model, the mechanicals have now been upgraded to a much higher level than standard.

A genuine SS with provenance, presentation and performance — a true show stopper with real Aussie V8 grunt.
