File:1975 Holden LH Torana SLR 5000 L34 Sedan (36799870103).jpg

Absinth Yellow. The LH Torana was built from March 1974-Feb 1976. The LH was longer and wider car than the LJ it replaced and now available with not only 4 and 6 cylinder engines, but a V8 as well. The LH Torana generally had rectangular headlights, with the exception of the SL/R 5000 L34 which had round headlights like the later model LX. The SL/Rs were the performance models, They gained full instrumentation, radial ply tyres, rally striping and a four speed floor shift manual, The SL/R 5000 got front and rear spoilers, the race ready L34 version, bolt on flares as well. 263 L34 versions of the SL/R 5000 were built so the Torana could be Homologated for racing, as well as the bolt on flares, the L34 got bigger brakes from the HQ, special pistons, roller rockers, larger inlet and exhaust valves, headers, baffled sump and twin point dizzy. On top of that, the Performance Pack gave you an oil cooler, solid lifters, competition pistons and 780cfm Holley. Although the L34 suffered from flimsy brakes and fragile diff and transmission it did win the Bathurst Hardie Ferodo 1000 in 1975 (Peter Brock and Brian Sampson) and in 1976 (Bob Morris and John Fitzpatrick) These problems were rectified in the next model, the LX A9X.
