I had a white LX Torana sedan once. 253 V8 went pretty good too.

I think the asking price is rather optimistic for a 202 (6 cylinder). Has she put it in eBay?; that's the best bet for a vehicle like this.

i only confirmed last night it was the 202, it has a v8 under the hood and she was sure it was the original, it wasnt until i got the vin numbers last night i could confirm it. price has dropped but not as much as many hoped as it is still the lx version. and it may go on gumtree very soon biggest selling point is that they only made 8547, approx, so i guess you could say its a low mintage;) when you consider how many have been written off.

The 202 is the 6.  Holden V8's of that period were either 253 cu.in. or 308 cu.in.

I assumed it was 202 from ID plate that said motor code "L20". 253 was , I think, "L32" and 308 "L31" or "L34" (that is the very desirable one).

Just had a squiz at the pic.
Quite frankly I think the only thing holding that together would be the rust.
Would probably make a great chook pen at best.
