Gawd, even your opening blurb about the XR is wrong - the first Aussie 'muscle car' was the '66 VC V8 (Note: it's not labled 'Valiant' or 'Regal') The Pacer variants of the VF and VG predated the Charger as the factory performance six cylinder Muscle Cars. The 'Supercar Scare' was never a government 'ban', it was a media beat up by the headline seeking newspapers and TV of the time. It's why the E55's engine was de-tuned and the 4-speed manual replaced with an Automatic.

i beg to say bs.. only reason holdens torana, ect. won, is because the engines were not std. used ford diffs.. your press in studs are good for 5k, the salisbury diff 1 lap, ausie 4 speed, 3 laps.. holdens are a cheating joke.. FACT.. sierras, 4 laps ahead, banned, cos your fkn brocki didnt win, then he drove fords, without a badge,,fkn hypocryt.. commodores went to europe, to win races,, another fkn joke.. meanwhile, fords win races world wide, to this day.. thats world wide,, not fkn bathurst bs race.. go find me, a factory, 6 cyl. torana, with triple side draughts,, DOES NOT EXIST...

Holden torana GTR XU1 did come in a V8, it was raced by Peter Brock. The story was it created so much torque to the chassis it rippled the front guards near the flutes.

The SLR 5000 Torana was built in 1974 not 1977 ? I remember because I was 14 in 1974 and worked at a dealership when I was 14 and I used to sit in it in my lunch hour and dream of owning one

Umm what about the XA falcon and the phase 4 HO homologation. Editing also showed a torana SLR sedan not the A9X hatchback. And all the latest and last of the Holden's and fords had to offer such as the GTSR W1 or the falcon GT335, and the Force 6 turbo Ford Barra models were also insane, all the final evolution of these earlier models after nearly 40 years of production.

@qmusclecars SLR torana, had 2 of them myself and 2 ss hatchback toranas along with many other now very desirable and rare cars including a few 1 of 1 factory order builds purchased and driven over the years. XD falcon fairmont ghia 351 manual in white was a nice 1 of 1, hz gts wagon with premier front was another plus many others including kitted up VR/VS commodore ex police interceptor V8's we purchased at auction for 15-20k, put the Wayne Gardner body kit on them and sold them for 30k looked as good as the gts of the time. South Australia had VL interceptor V8's in horrible spearmint blue (no not batmobile wilkinshaw blue either) but they got the brock 4.9 litre race motor's in them so they went like stink! VL calais turbo with the nissan skyline motor are a rare and wonderful thing also very desirable. Then there's the later Monaro's and coupe 4 by HSV, all wheel drive Avalance wagons and Apache dual cab utes with LS1 powering all wheels AMAZING, but that's another video all together i would suggest.

A couple of mistakes. Only one picture of the Leyland force 7 when it was shown early in the video. All the rest were Holden Toranas. The tickford te 50 was shown in the still photos but the one shown driving is a TL 50 based on the LTD/ Fairlaine. It was the luxury version.

I appreciate every view that allows me to create more muscle car videos.

Yes the XR GT was development of police cars. The engines on all but GTs were 289 2 barrel Vee Eight engines. 289 XRs were quite common. XT GT had standard XT disc brakes. Like the Holdens of the period the brakes were poor. The vented discs on XW XY were a little better. This is ofcourse all in hindsight. And yes I have owned these cars. Ph 2 GTHO was an XW model, an update mid model with the 351C engine instead of the 351 W engine. XY GTs came as a std GT Falcon then the GTHO which still had 300hp,,, officially. Around 380hp would be closer. LC XU1 was the first,, your pic was an LJ. Same basic car but different grille and the original XU1 was a triple 1.5" Stromberg carbs on a 186S. 71 Bathurst LC was a more developed 186, more power and close ratio gearbox. Lj XU1 was 202 with the close ratio box. Bathurst LJs were a nasty little beast. Chargers you have screwed up totally. Charger was released in 71, everything from a 215 3 speed to V8 auto. The RT was 218hp 2bbl 265 engine. Then came the six packs. E37 was about 260hp 265S with triple 45mm Weber carbs. E38 was 285hp well developed engine with Webers and close ratio 3 speed gearbox!! Supply of 4 speeds initially was restricted to Ford. Then the E49 with 302hp, close ratio 4 speed etc etc. Very fast cars. Faster over the 1/4 than a GTHO. E55 Chargers were 2bbl 360ci torque monsters but slow. 250hp. Sandman utes and vans were never muscle, just a nice package on a V8 ute or van. They had 253 and 308 engines with auto or 4 speed Leyland Force 7 so you show a Torana!! LX A9X 4 door. Force 7s were never sold. As far muscle, never, The engines were an ok street engine but had no more power than a Falcon 6! The A9X was a weak wristed pollution motor in a half decent chassis. You missed the 74 L34 Torana that was capable of good power. Not however in showroom form. That was the engine used in the A9X. The L34 had a weak gearbox, weak diff and drum rear brakes. The A9X resolved all of that and with the engine mods allowed for racing was a quick thing and reliable. The Falcon Cobra again was a homolgation special. Same as the Torana. Stock they did not go. Cobras were 77 and you could still buy a new couppe in 79 at the end of the XC model. They ever only raced coupes,, because the big fat arse would fit wider tyres than the 4 door.And they came in white with blue stripes only!

E-55's weren't 360's- they were the better 340's specially imported for racing but got detuned and auto'd because the supercar scare. 360's were around from 71 onwards, optional in any valiant.

I'd love to install the Valiant 265 6 cylinder in my Nissan GQ Patrol, Currently it has the very easy to blow up RB30 engine.. So easy to send the piston through the block to smack the back of the alternator, AustraliaN Way of Life is to HOON IT..
