Holden Torana HB-UC
Watch the values for Torana XU-1s and A9Xs climb and it is easy to understand rapid growth in the prices being paid for basic versions.
Four-cylinder HB-TA cars haven’t moved much, although a very scarce Brabham version was offered at $30,000.

Move across into the market for LC-LJ six-cylinder cars and $40,000 becomes possible for an SL two-door with the 2850cc engine and four-speed gearbox. These are easily cloned into a GTR and then bring $70K.
| Buyer’s Guide: Holden Torana LX SS V8
Six-cylinder versions of the LH-UC haven’t moved as far or fast and a very good one still brings $30,000. V8 SL sedan prices continue to climb, even though the number of available cars remains steady.
