Summary

Description

Built from Feb 1972-March 1974 The LJ Torana was built from Feb 1972-March 1974 A facelift of the 1969-72 LC Torana, now the LJ with new HQ style grille and HQ style steering column, revised tail lights and dashboard, better handling and the engines were all improved. Again available in 2 and 4 door, 4 and 6 cyl and in many different models. The GTR got 135hp 202 cu in, 4 speed floor shift, louvres in the front guards, black out treatment, side stripes, GTR badging, sports wheels and sports instrumentation. 1667 LJ XU1s were made, they got the 190hp 202 cu in with triple Stromberg carbys, new close ratio M21 4-speed Australian made transmission. Similar look as the GTR, but front and rear spoilers as well.

Up against the larger GTHOs and E49s, the Giant killer won the Bathurst Hardie Ferodo 500 in 1972 with Peter Brock at the wheel. This is Brocks 73 car, a brand new car that ran out of fuel at Bathurst with Doug Chivas at the wheel, having to push the car up pit straight, Brock and Chivas finished second. The car restored to that livery. Brock won many races in this car until the introduction of the LH Torana in 1974
