Holden Hurricane

Anybody in Oz got one of these?

"This story starts on Tuesday, March 4, 1969, in Holden’s Technical Centre in Fishermen’s Bend, Australia, and finishes almost 43 years later at Holden’s Lang Lang proving ground southeast of Melbourne."

According to the article, there has only ever been one.

Not exactly your common Commodore.

IIRC the one and only prototype was built in 1969 but was recently rebuilt by Holden (I've got a whole heap of photos of the build somewhere).

But if I'm thinking of the right car, apparently there were also spare body panels molded which somebody had tucked away in their shed?

I thought like Ozemite, there are somethings you Oz boys keep to yourselves and keep us yanks in the dark! 8^)

I loved that car, it was a great feeling to sit in it too.
Great memories!!

A more practical car that came close but didn't get there Torana GTX-R





Looked better in the flesh that it does in these vids.

I've seen it! Back in 1969 when it was first displayed. I wanted one then, still want one now.
