Hi Guys, I'm a member of a modified retro car forum in the UK. A member has posted some pics of what we strongly believe is a modified Torana, a coupe featuring camaro like coke bottle rear quarters, and a roof line that suggests that it originated as a sedan rather than a three door coupe, which were hatchback rather than booted. There appears to be at least one, possibly two more that have been modified in the same way. Can you throw any light on what they are, where they originate, and prehaps even who made them. Cheers, Mark.

It's a guy in Indonesia i think, could never find more info on it.

Guards, Bonnet, Windscreen and maybe doors are off a LH/LX Torana.

The nosecone looks like its a Torana one thats been modifed to look like a Camaro.

No idea what the rear end is!

Also the drivers seat looks Torana.
