Johno’s beloved cars, the Australian version of the Chevy Nova.

Base models came with an imported Opel 1900 four-cylinder, while optional engines ranged from 2.85 and 3.3 six-cylinder units to 4.2 and 5.0 V8 engines. However, most Toranas left the factory with six-cylinder engines under the hood; V8 models in non-performance trim were rare. The 5.0 V8 was worth the extra cost, though: output was 250 hp at 5,000 rpm and 320 ft-lbs at 3,400 rpm, hauling around a body weighing only around 2700 lbs. It could be selected in sporty SL/R 5000 trim; the SL/R package was also available with the 3.3 six and 4.2 V8.
Your welcome Johno…
