The LJ was made available to consumers with several different engine choices, depending of the level of specification optioned. These included ranges of four and six-cylinder powerplants, up to the 3.3lt six.
Power was sent to the rear wheels via either a three-speed automatic transmission or a three or four-speed manual transmission.
Body styles for the LJ that were made available to customers were either a two-door coupe or a four-door sedan.
This particular Torana has been has been stripped out and turned into a track car replicated to look like the fabled Torana GTR XU-1.
