1977 Holden LX SLR 5000 Torana A9X - 1 of 1 - Madeira Red

The ONE AND ONLY A9X Torana sedan finished in the rare factory colour of Madeira Red with Chamois Golf ball trim! A superb, two owner log booked and documented A9X, Build No. 148 is presented in magnificent condition throughout. For sale from our Sydney Showroom.

One of only 405 A9X Toranas produced, this is one of the much desired 2nd production run featuring the wider flares and 3:08 diff. Of the 405 A9Xs built, Holden released 305 sedans and 100 Hatchbacks of which only ONE Madeira Red sedan and three A9X Hatchbacks were built.

Build No. 148 was originally sold through Webster Motors P/L in Midland, WA and is supplied with full ownership history with the original log books confirming all the important numbers of the Torana. The Torana has been a member of the A9X Club of Australia. 

This is an accident free example of the A9X. The Torana has been repainted in acrylic paint in 2009 and retains the original absolutely immaculate Chamois interior. The A9X has had the typical 1980s treatment with widened originals wheels, modified engine bay while retaining the original block and replacement of the M21 with a Super T10 4 speed gearbox using a Centreforce clutch, modified Hurst Speedway shifter and the standard 10 bolt Salisbury diff with 3.55 gears and a steel 4-pinion LSD.  

Mechanically, the original 308 was rebuilt with 10:1 forged pistons, Scat rods, a Crane CC288 solid cam, Yella Terra heads and roller rocker, an Edelbrock single-plane intake manifold and Holley 750 DP carby. The engine bay has been detailed to show standards of the day with alloy rocker covers and a polished cold air box modelled off Allan Grice's Craven Mild race A9X. Exhaust exits through H&M extractors leading to a twin 21/2"mandrel bent system with Sonic Turbo mufflers.  

The interior is all original in Chamois with original seat trims, carpets, gauges and dash. The steering wheel shows nil wear and the A9X is fitted with an LX SS centre console to cover the Super T-10 bump and house the stereo system and Autometer oil and water temperature gauges. 

Braking is via the standard 4 wheel discs and the Tory still retains the two piece front spoiler and brake cooling ducts. The suspension features Koni shocks all round, KMac sway bars and Selby springs along with a period style drop tank and widened genuine A9X rims with Nankang 225/50R15s on the front and 265/50R15s on the rear. There is a Hotwire spare, boot matt and jack in the boot.

A one owner car from 1978 until 2017 when it was sold at a Shannons Sydney auction, the current owner has enjoyed this special A9X as part of a serious Aussie muscle car collection and has now decided the time has come to sell his collection. 

The A9X is supplied with the original owners log books.   

This is definitely the pinnacle of Holden performance, representing the birth of HDT. It is a car solidly etched into our motor racing history. A rich history of Brock and Firth, Richards, Harvey, Grice, Morris, Perkins ... the names synonymous with victory spelt simply in the name - Torana.

These cars are legendary on and off the race track and a sure fire investment in solid gold Holden muscle. Supplied with a full ICAARS vehicle inspection report.

Located in our Sydney Showroom for your inspection. (Ref. 6840)
