Un-Flaired??
Please put your dollar in the swear jar!
They finally got the look correct with the advent of the A9X
Who are we to argue with perfection?
(waits for purists/deniers and naysayers) :-)

Mine was flared in late 80's apparently.
Glad of it too as I want the look but couldn't chop an unflared car if I had one.

Hi All,
Not sure if this post is still active, but thought I would add another car to the list...
Model : LXSS - L31-M40-GU7
Year : 3/77 ( came into NZ 3/77 with 50k's on the clock, so I guess you'd say NZ new )
Paintcode : 568 17777 Papaya
Trim : 1916-67Y Tan Chevron (with cloth insert)
Full Matching Numbers : Yes
Flared : Yes
Parked up since '92 / '93, with ~170k's on the clock
Am I correct in understanding from the previous posts on this topic, that there where only 521 SS L31 cars made ( excluding A9X variant ) ??
Cheers
Tony

~ from microfiche records published only a year or 2 ago ~
G'day John, where were the LX records published? More importantly, where can I get a copy?
Posted 26 October 2017 - 12:00 AM
Hi Bigfella,
my statement is a little ambiguous, I only meant that the long awaited official account of how many L31's were built, was published a year or 2 a go. It was taken from the original GMH microfiche records that I believe are held by Holden Historical Services and are not available to the general public.

53 x SS L31 registered here since this topic started.
So far, that only represents 10% of the total 521 made. As stated by others.
Surely there must be more out there. I reckon possibly 30 - 50% have survived to this date..
We may not ever know.

Of course there are, not everyone wants the world to know. I've met many Torana owners that I've directed to this forum but they're not keen on being a part of any community, going to shows, etc. They're just happy to own their cars and stick to themselves.
I've taken pics of cars where the owners have requested I not share them publicly and I respect that, so haven't shared them.
