    Man pink? the only pink on the Toranas was Strike me Pink and it's VERY pink, we are talking Swedish blonde pink

    Holden Torana .com - Paint Codes - Strike-Me-Pink



    If that's the Pink your after and I guess it is, yes it's very easy to get, any paint shop will be able to make it up

    Oh yeah the Torana hatch concept, I don't know what that colour was called but it's some kind of trick candy pink/magenta, no where near as cool as Strike me Pink . But you could have it done (would be expensive)

    If you could get a picture of the colour you want, I would think that a good spray painter should be able to match it.

    I think cos it was originally a 'muscle car' they aimed the concept more at males... if it was any other colour that is. The colour scheme (remember the white interior?) wasn't so typically blokey, so i'm pretty sure they nicknamed it that. i'll tell everyone now my shirt isn't pink, it's mangenta rofl

    Yeah the new Fiesta is Magenta, it's a 500 pound option ontop of Metallic. Ford Australia aren't bringing that colour here they rekcon no one in Australia will want it yet they have no problem sticking it on the adds, but it's the second most popular colour in England and you can get it in NZ. Go figure

    I'm sorry if you do wear pink sorry sorry MANgenta i personally think (baby) pink is not a mans colour, any who i do think that this torana is nothing at all like the good old days (but really what car is?). i could honestly say i prob would do anything to get my hands on the TT36. the white leather interior just sets the outside colour off but i would never have nor will i ever sit on white leather. it has been a car that i have never been able to get out of my head since seeing it, not sure why it has just stuck not really sure if thats a good thing or bad thing but anyway thanks heaps and for the giggles hehe.

    it's gotta be a tuff car to wear pink, think of the burnout LJ 'front n back' blown hot pink torrie. You would question that colour but it's gotta be a tuff car.

    P.S. doesn't any1 rememberthe mangenta "pink" VE commodore at the motor show, i think it was a ute. does any1 have pictures of it?

    it was the motorshow in 2004 and it was a torana concept car, there is a pic above of it. was it this years motorshow? i watched the little pink torrie do some burnouts at avalon last weekend that it looks very very nice, it was also at the easternats, but its kinda to barbie pink for me i would love a blood red or similar and MANgenta is very nice.
