I'll wager a bet that it will fetch something in the $250-300,000 region.

If I hadn't known better I would say it is a C Type Opel Kadett GTE on steroids...

I reckon it might go for more seeing the condition, kilometres and also it being a factory prepped bathurst special. I personally would prefer that over a GT anyday. Im not a holden man but a mint a9x, I may sell my first born for it.

I think it will fetch over 500k

I looked on Wiki and they said the Torana was based on the Opel Ascona ??, not sure really Henk. They runa 5 litre V8 and won bathurst 4 times and are getting very sort after now by cashed up baby boomers

The early HB Torana was based on the Viva and the LH was based on the Ascona ? so wiki says.
Nota will be able to tell us anyway

maybe the odo turned back around? that happened with our 1988 Caprice Classic. it only had 5 #'s so once it hit 100,000 miles it said 1. it was super cool. lol. they could have driven in reverse too!
