Holden Torana SLR 5000 (modified) 

This 1976 Holden Torana SL/R 5000  is an Australian icon, complete with an extensive list of performance modifications. It is powered by a naturally-aspirated 355 cubic inch (5.8-litre) V8 engine which sends 447kW (600hp) to the rear wheels. This powertrain is mated to a five-speed manual transmission. This car’s fitting specification pairs Barbados Green paintwork with black accents, while the interior is upholstered in black vinyl. The car sports SL/R 5000 styling including pumped guards and rear duck-tail spoiler, plus it scores the large air dam on the bonnet. The car rides on a set of black/chrome 14-inch Holden wheels wrapped in Sumitomo/Firenza tyres. Performance mods include a five-speed Tremec TKO transmission, nine-inch diff, 750 xp Holley carburettor, and fuel pump.

Here’s Joe Schemansky car design legacy.

Joe is responsible for creating Holden’s design centre in Melbourne in 1964 which has attracted highly talented Australian designers and has given many a pathway to international career opportunities.

Joe led the styling of some of Australia’s best loved cars: Monaro, Statesman, Torana, Kingswood, Brougham, SLR/5000, GTS, GTR and GTR-XU1.

It was during Joe’s tenure that two of Holden’s most famous concept cars were unveiled: the Torana GTR-X and the futuristic Hurricane.

The 1971 HQ Holden, which he championed, is arguably the most elegant car ever styled in this country.

That list of achievements would be more than enough for three people, and yet there is more.

During his early days at GM’s styling studios in Detroit he developed the interior of the first Chevrolet Corvette.

He was on the team which designed 1955/56/57 Chevrolet.

In 1957 he was appointed Chief Designer and is co-credited with Paul Gillan for coming up with  Pontiac’s iconic split grille design — first used on the 1959 models.

In early 1961 he was given a roving commission as Chief Designer for Body Design Co-Ordination, which gave him influence across all of GM’s design studios.

During 1963 he visited Australia to assess the capabilities of the Holden design team and to undertake preparations for the establishment of styling studios in the new planned Technical Centre in Melbourne.

He was appointed Holden’s first Design Director on April 1, 1964 and led the design teams on every Holden until his retirement in 1975.

Quoted in the June, 1992 edition of Restored Cars Magazine, Joe claimed that his staff did everything.

“I just walked around looking important, as though I knew what I was doing — they all believed me.”

He was too modest.

When Joe retired he returned briefly to the USA, then came back to live here. He died in 2004.

Holden Torana SLR 5000 A9X, 1977. A rare Australian homologation special with only 29,752km on the odometer has sold at auction for $(A)425,000. This represents a 684% increase over the car’s original price of $9560 in 1977. The A9X version of the LX series Torana was produced in order to fit more competitive performance parts to Holden’s racing cars, which had to be based on road-legal versions. The A9X package included a reverse-cowl bonnet scoop, upgraded brakes and axles, a heavy-duty differential and 250hp version of Holden’s 5.0-litre V8. The Tuxedo Black sedan with a Parchment interior is completely original, with no reproduction parts and had been in the same ownership for the past 28 years.
