Holden GTR-X

[spud_22]

So found out that the g/f's grandpa has probably one of the rarest Holdens out there.
The only way you can see this car is by looking at pictures on the net. Only 2 of these cars were ever made and i would like to know what people think. No BS, im planning to get some pictures of it to post on here. So its a 1970 GTR-X Torana.
Here are some pictures of a model. Cheers guys let me know what you think.

I call bullshit.

Apparently there is only 1 left in existence and it is on display at the Salmon Street offices of Holden here in Melbourne.

i also heard there was only a couple made and none were road registered, just concept/display cars.

Three were built, 1 1/2 are left. Holden owns the only complete one. It spent quite a while at the Birdwood National Motor Museum painted silver, with UC SL/E rims. For Holden's Anniversary, they took it back and fully restored it to its original white colour and correct rims - looks great! The other "1/2" I referred to is a shell, I believe, not a complete car. It was sold to a Holden employee a few years ago.

Pity they never built them as a production car. 6 Cylinder, triple carbs, fibreglass body, remote hatch release, vaccuum operated pop up headlights, power windows, integral roll cage, and 4 wheel disc brakes, and all that in 1971!. Would have been the first 4 wheel disc Holden by a long shot. A9X was the first production Holden with disc brakes, in 1977.

So, he might be telling the truth.

I have seen pics of 1 in pieces apart from the Holden owned one. So that makes at least 2. Have heard (reliable) rumours of a few body shells still around too.

i would imagine with some time and effort you could replicate the body shell(made of fibreglass) and from there you could build your own, like any other kit car.

I will get pics as soon as i can. It is not in the best condition. This would be the half car as referred to as above. The car is not a half car it has no interior in it at the moment but it will have soon. I will try get some pics tomorrow, i will event get a pic with my VS and jamiejamies VU with it.

People no bullshit. My missus is his missus's sister and I've seen it! He also has the moulds for it too. Were gonna get a pic next to it to prove it

Only 2 shells where made. The G/F grandpa also has the only moulds for this car as well.
