How about something that checks all the boxes.
Rad mags? Check.
V8-power? Check.
Tacked-on flares? Check.
Blacked-out hood? Check.
Totally ’70s styling and vibe? Check.
Something you’ll likely never see in the States? Totally check.
And we haven’t even discussed the motorsports pedigree.
Meet the 1977 Holden Torana A9X, the V8-powered special intended for the day’s Australian Touring Car series. …
You can even drive it digitally if you want, thanks to Forza Horizon and Forza Motorsports:
Doesn't matter what we vote. Peter Brock + Mt Panorama + A9X = legend.
You can watch them race present-day in Australia's Touring Car Masters series... Awesome sprint style racing.
Looks like what the Monza should have been.
The most attractive GM car ever.
Yes, any Aussie car that has a racing background is legit, no questions asked.
Speaking of Toranas, I'm also keen to see how this 1JZ swap goes...

the side windows, rear fenders, and doors have a Vega, Monza, Starfire feel to it.
Two door coupe. Not hatchback.
Rarer than hen's teeth! Extremely difficult to find in unmolested form.
Any homologation special should be hard to find in unmolested form, or it failed :)
In reply to NC Kiwi :
The 2 door A9X was a true Hatchback. There was even a "hatch hutch" which turned the rear hatch into a tent. Quite unique!!
