1978 Holden UC Torana Hatchback

For sale is an absolutely immaculate fully restored UC Torana Hatchback running a 253 V8 and Trimatic auto. Presented in Alpine White paint with mat blackouts and Tan cloth trim this SS Hatchback Replica has been built to a very high standard and is Queensland mod plated, engineered and has full Queensland registration. For sale from Brisbane, QLD.

By the time the UC Torana was released, GMH were concentrating their marketing budgets on the new European styled Holden VB Commodore. In order to differentiate the models, Holden only offered the 4 and 6 cylinder motors for the UC. The V8 engines were for the Commodore only. But Brockie's 6 lap win in the A9X Torana at Bathurst in 1979 became etched into the minds of many Aussie car enthusiasts meaning that quite a few UC Toranas were converted to look-a-like A9Xs.

Like their Falcon GT Replica cousins, the UC Torana was an easy conversion given that the A9X did in-fact use an UC floor pan in their design. Purchased by the current owner in 2016, the UC was stripped and rebuilt, repainted in Alpine White and re-trimmed in the factory Tan with cloth trim combination. The body has been fitted with A9X style wide body flares and the Torana is riding on 15" Globe alloy wheels that fit nicely under the flares. All the factory gauges work and the original steering wheel has been replaced with a SAAS model. The original steering wheel and original doors cards are supplied.

Mechanically, the UC is running a fully rebuilt 253V8 with extractors, an alloy radiator with electric thermo fan, electronic ignition and a Holly carby. The car is just as tidy underneath as it is on top and the owner has fully reconditioned the braking system and all suspension parts.

The rear hatch is presented in immaculate order with new boot carpet, immaculate boot timbers, spare wheel and tools.

Riding on Hankook tyres 205/55R15 on the front and 225/50R15 on the rear. With full QLD registration until 26th July, 2025.
