torana models and years

Holden’s Torana lineage runs from the HB in 1967 to the UC in 1980—a compact upstart that grew into a Bathurst‑bothering bruiser.

The early HB/LC/LJ cars were small and scrappy, with the LJ spawning the GTR XU‑1 that gave Falcon GTs night terrors.

The stopgap TA bridged to the bigger LH, which birthed the SL/R 5000 V8; the LX added a hatch and the legendary A9X option, before the UC wrapped things up.

Here’s the quick cheat sheet for models and years in Australia:

• HB: 1967–1969
• LC: 1969–1972
• LJ: 1972–1974
• TA: 1974–1975
• LH: 1974–1976
• LX: 1976–1978
• UC: 1978–1980

Note: some four‑cylinder LX/UC variants were sold as Sunbird, and build months can blur year lines; consult official documentation for exact figures.
