1972 LJ Torana GTR XU1 ... (SOLD)

You can feel Brockie and Bathurst in these Torana XU-1s. Just sitting in the car takes you back to the heyday of motor racing in the early 1970s. The great battle of David and Goliath - Holden versus Ford and Moffat versus Brock. You can still see the XU-1s battling it out in the rain in 1972 and famously taking the Hardie Ferodo 500 Bathurst flag at the end of the day. Brock's first Bathurst win and the Torana that beat the Falcon GTHO Phase 3.
