HELP - black torana SLR 5000

JD86 · 04-05-2008, 12:01 AM

hey guys just wondering if anyone knows where i can find the production numbers for some toranas?

iv looked but cant seem to find them on the net

the reason i want to know is because my dad used to own a black slr5000, manual and 308, i believe it was an LH, but may have been an LX

but he said he only ever saw one other black one and thinks it may have been rare

so im just trying to find out for him

thanks alot guys

i have no idea regarding your question, but if it had slr5000 along the sills and on the rear spoiler it would have been an lx, if it had the smaller stickers on the front guards and boot an lh - round headlights an lx, slightly square an lh

Trying to find SL/R build qty's will be bloody hard - especially paint specific. Goodluck, maybe try nswtoranaclub.com or oldholden.com.

LH was a sedan slr 5000
LX was a hatchback a9x

LH were avaliable as a 4 door SLR 5000, and SLR5000 "L34" which was the homologation version of the 4 door SLR5000.

LX were avaliable as a 4 door SLR5000 and 2 door SS hatchback.
The "A9X" was the homologation version of the SLR/SS and was avaliable as "A9X" SLR5000 sedans and "A9X" SS hatch backs.

In Ford speak think SLR5000/SS as GT and L34/A9X as GT-HO.

There are color break downs for L34 and A9X around, but not the base spec SLR5000 or SS.

I can't remember if they were LX or LH but there was a GM/P or some such, a short run of bodies built for the racing teams, reaturing seamwelded shells etc...only 30-odd built.

Absolute gold.

I read this quote & had blue tears running down my face. Then I bet which tear would win.
I once fed my kids Milo with blue food colouring. They were the fasted kids around.

4vman's info is correct
this is an lx. note the slr5000 stickers and the round headlights. lh had tiny stickers around 10-20 cm long. they also had slightly square headlights

LH SLR 5000 had Square Headlights, L34 had Round.

Yep, LH SLR 500 L34. Small Stickers and Round Hedlights are the giveaway.

Good info here.
Something I've often wondered, whats the diff between and SLR 5000 and an SL/R 5000

Yes but you dont see GTHO decals on a Falcon but some Toranas had SL/R and other had SLR.

http://www.gmh-torana.com/ this might be the place to ask the questions mate

JD86 · 19-11-2011, 09:20 PM

Hi guys, bit of a blast from the past but I was talking to my dad today and wanted to find out how many were made black, still have not found out

dad also remembered the number plates on his torana were vic IPC 476, of anyone knows of the cars whereabouts that would be great information

thanks

JC · 19-11-2011, 09:25 PM

You could try vic roads - they have a rego check service (for a fee)

JD86 · 04-04-2012, 12:19 PM

still want to find info on this car if anyone can help?

Use this.

trippytaka · 04-04-2012, 12:47 PM

You may wonder why I know... and I will get flamed for this, but this is in my garage.

It's an LX. Headlights are the main identifier.

The SL/R came out in the 253 and the 308. The 308 was the sl/r 5000. Not all of them had stickers, not all of them had flares... there were options - the flare kit (rear facing bonnet scoop) was a part of the A9X options list.

The A9X was ONLY available from the LX. The LH was just the SL/R 5000, but the LH had the L34 motor option. The LX didn't (pollution etc).

OK I'll stop.

Oh yeah, LX would be 1976 onwards.

jaydee · 04-04-2012, 07:44 PM

Oh yeah sure Trippy, you're going to get flamed for having such a nice bit of kit in your garage, NOT.
Looks great, unusual to see those rallye type wheels on an SLR too.

Haha thanks! I just figured that having a Holden in the garage might cause a few flaming comments

Yeah, the minilites were choice of my mate the previous owner my plan is to make them charcoal when I get around to paint, but that's a project in the future - track is calling in 4 weeks

can't wait

4vdean · 04-04-2012, 10:06 PM

Oh you traitor, nice ride though (I didn't say that and I'll deny it)

Jim Goose · 04-04-2012, 09:29 PM

Find it odd that on a Ford forum we have someone chasing Holden stats and the wereabouts of a Torana from nearly 4yrs ago?

It must say something about the Holden forums maybe?

trippytaka · 04-04-2012, 11:20 PM

Agreed. And that on a ford forum sonmuch information flows about torries

Although gmh Torana forums are pretty good.

Thanks

it's a beast. I was going to buy mike's (the yeti) xp falcon, but my mate with the torana wanted it because he has a young family so I bought the torrie - I don't have kids yet and want a car for track days.

Win win really. My mate gets a great xp wagon and I get to keep his torana in the family, so to speak

conordec · 05-04-2012, 01:15 AM

just a comment, but there was an slr5000 black on black for sale about 6 months ago and i think it was 1 of 4/5?
might have been an slr or who knows, but i'm sure it was on ebay and it was a pretty good add. lots of comments on it aswell, none negative.

probably as rare as the black pig.... well... almost. (not)
