As an American it's great to see Aussie Muscle, beautiful car.
One of my mate's back in the late 70's had a simular coloured bathurst XU1 in Port Pirie, I remember going over 130mph in it, I bought a 1973 gtr torana, loved it.
My favorite Holden, beautiful timeless shape
Mate I love the shape and all but being 6 foot 2 inches tall I wish they made it a little bigger aye
Had 4 XU1s, 2 we raced at speedway back in the early 80s, thankyou for sharing bringing back many memories and for that I'm extremely greatful cheers KC Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺👊😎👍🇦🇺
dude you must cry now xu1 as speedway cars 😮
Torana XU1's certainly had the best looking engine of any Holden ever made. Chromed rocker cover and triple Strommies.
I'd like one on display in my mancave!
Beautiful car, i have a $100 model of this car, love Fords but the GTR XU1 nearly tempted me once years ago.
given as 190bhp (142kW) at the flywheel for the standard car on sale at the Holden dealer at the time. Of course, "blue-printed" motors for racing had a fair bit more power than that. I have a road test mag where Harry Firth's example ran a 13.5 quarter mile..
Beautiful car
I'll buy it !
Relflecting our alrounder abilities as Aussies our performance cars are equally at home doing daily drives or Cairns to Melbourne for the GP. And you can look under the bonnet and if you can't fix a problem on the spot you can at least isolate it and give a mechanic the heads up ! Caste iron and happy with four wheel discs for my tech hit !😎👍
Bloody awesome
These videos depress the shit out of me. Why oh why did I get rid of mine in 93 😢 Had a beautiful 73 LJ GTR red one.
No 3 point harnesses? I thought all the xu1s had them.
Bloody mint
Sounds like aluminum timing gears as my 1973 Torana S with full Bathurst pecked 186 sounded like that and yes got clocked at 133miles hour in it lol And cop pulled me over next day asking me who was driving that night and i didnt tell him as my girlfriend at time was driving it as i knew i was going to get pulled over again lol
225 Hp from factory 👍

250hp(and up normally aspirated ) out of holden six is not really streetable .(I'm a hypocrite)Pricks of things to drive down low, pig rooting every time you take off . Hey at least it easy to change plugs.
@@fredderf551 yeah i had 5 of them, 2 ended up as speedway stock cars 😂😂 back in the day I'm near 60 good old days, and yes lumpy jumpy down low but nice when you feed it cheers XU1s HP Blocks stay safe take care 👍😎
1972 isn’t what I’m looking for do you have a 1969?
I thought the Bathurst models had webbers?
no that was Chargers these always had SU's
The webers and hotter cam. are variant opinion for the xu1. (gregorys manual or holden for information)
You'd need a lot of paper work to prove it's Xu1 and not a S or gtr for me.
Drove an LC with side-draught Webers on it. Pump once, put foot flat to floor and hit starter! Used to roar into life and then almost impossible NOT to lay wheelies away from rest. A beast.
@@markalan1two strombergs
@@davidburne9477 i got a turbo 6 smash this thing but o love a good xu1
One day... one of the boys rocked up with a GT-R xu1.
Rough as shit., but it was probably genuine... peace of shit...whined in every gear
like you 🤣
ugh that stereo under the dash tho
And the disconnected heater hoses, the hideous aerial on the roof that someone drilled a hole through the roof to fit and the battery moved to the boot, its far from being really tidy and they want $155k for it.
@@jeffwhite9001 you know it
@@jeffwhite9001 155 ....nah won't get anything over 70
The Monster killer, it beat, and was faster than the XY GTHO, sorry Ford boys...
Stop laying
eggs?
Brocks xu1 was a v8.
Brock drove a XU1 with a straight 6 to victory in 1972, Holden scraped plans for the V8 LJ torana due to government’s horsepower scare. Ford scraped plans for the phase 4 and stuck with the phase 3, no V8 GTR-XU1 in 1972 Bathurst 500, but they did have plans for it.
Average driver, not an authentic showcar thats for sure, door gap,interior...i hope it gets priced as in need of partial resto instead of just " but its an XU1" and shiny...$150 000
