Holden Torana GTR-X, 1970. Created by Holden's Fisherman’s Bend design and engineering department based on the LC Torana with a 160hp triple carburettor version of Holden's 186ci "Red" straight six engine. They used Opel-sourced 4 speed manual gearboxes and differentials. Three prototypes were made with ladder frame chassis (similar in concept to the Chevrolet Corvette) and fibreglass bodywork. The project was meant for series production, brochures were printed (see above) and the car was displayed at the Melbourne Motor Show but the programme was cancelled before production began. One of the prototypes was destroyed in testing, the white car above is in a museum and the 3rd (unfinished) car in in the hands of a collector

Holden Torana GTR, 1969. The LC series offered 6 cylinder engines and a high compression 2.6 litre with a dual-throat carburettor for the GTR. It made enough of an impression to be named the Australian car of the year for 1969

A father said to his daughter “You have graduated with honors, here is a car I bought many years ago.

It is a bit older now but before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them you want to sell it and see how much they offer you for it.

The daughter went to the used car lot, returned to her father and said, “They offered me $1,000 because they said it looks pretty worn out.”

The father said, now “Take it to the pawn shop.” The daughter went to the pawn shop, returned to her father and said,”The pawn shop offered only $100 because it is an old car.”

The father asked his daughter to go to a car club now and show them the car. The daughter then took the car to the club, returned and told her father,” Some people in the club offered $100,000 for it because it’s a Holden Torana and it's an iconic car and sought by many collectors”

Now the father said this to his daughter, “The right place values you the right way,” If you are not valued, do not be angry, it means you are in the wrong place. Those who know your value are those who appreciate you. Never stay in a place where no one sees your value. Never!
