Hi All,
Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day for the run, numbers were up and the mu-
seums fantastic. Our first stop was the Powerhouse museum which is full of a wide range of
historical automotive collectables and classic vehicles. We were also invited to use their
meeting room which was much more comfortable than trying to hold
our meeting down by the wharf. We covered off the date for our Car
Show which will be the 21st of March 2015 and all members are invit-
ed to have their input for ideas on next years show.
After lunch we headed for the RSL museum which is locat-
ed in the old town water tower which also doubles as a lookout. The
amount of war relics was amazing and I highly recommend a visit if
you are in Portland at any stage. The views from atop the tower are
spectacular and with the day we had you could see for miles.
Our next run is to Ballarat for the all GM Day, this day fea-
tures a wide range of all GM vehicles and is well worth the trip. This
will be a great day so I look forward to seeing you all there.

There were a total of 405 A9X Toranas built, consisting 100 Hatchbacks and 305 Sedans produced from September 1977 to
January 1978.
There were also an additional 41 Hatch and 8 Sedans produced as Race Shells for the Motor Racing Industry. These were deliv-
ered as Rolling Bodies with no Engine, Gear Box or Front Seats.
All A9X Hatchbacks are branded SS, whilst all A9X Sedans are branded
SLR5000.
The major differences of the A9X were:
Salisbury Diff available in G70 (2.60:1) or GU4 (3.08:1) compared to
Banjo Diff
Rear Disc Brakes
Front Air Ducts to cool Brakes
Wheel Flares
Bonnet Scoop
No SLR500 stenciled along the sides of the Sedan
Standard 14 x 7 GTS Style Rims
Optional Super T10 Gear Box
Engine fan removed and replaced with Turbo fan with Radiator overflow
Bumper rubber strips removed.
Modifications to engine Crank and Cam, front crossmembers and
HD Springs
The A9X pictured is one of only 47 Flemenco Red Sedans produced
with the Slate Black Interior and GU4 Diff cofiguration.
The A9X was unrivelled at Bathurst in 1978 and 1979 with Peter
Brock and Jim Richards winning both Races.
In 1978 the A9X made up 6 of the first 10 cars to finish, taking First
and second places.
In 1979 the car made up 8 of the first 10 cars to finish, taking the first
8 finishing spots.
In 1979 Peter Brock, some 6 laps in front set a new lap record of
2.21.1 on his Final lap to prove the worth of the A9X after 160 laps
racing.
The legend of the A9X was complete.
Reference Just Holdens A9X Collector's Issue.
One of the identifying features of an
A9X, is the Hand Written 'A9X', en-
scribed in Crayon on the Front Passen-
ger Floor Pan.
The branding of the Shell was done on
the Production Line to identify these
vehicles from other SLR Toranas, since
the A9X has a different Floor Pan to
accommodate the Salisbury Diff.
The A9X did not come standard fitted
with a Radio or A/C, however at times
these were added by Dealers at the Buy-
ers request.

Out of the FJ’s
Glove Box …..
By all accounts it was a great trip to the Powerhouse Mu-
seum in Portland last month and the museum was a real
stunner for members to salivate over– a terrific day was
had by all—good to see new members coming on board
each month—welcome to our terrific club.
The RSL museum in Portland was another highlight of
the day for members also, and the view from the top was
outstanding.
There is a great article on the A9X Torana in this newslet-
ter thanks to Rob Millard which I found to be very inter-
esting and informative to me. Many thanks Rob, I always
appreciate members supplying articles, photos etc for the newsletter ti make it more interesting for
members.
The weather makes you want to get those old Holdens out and about—that’s what they were designed
for—and to enjoy them with friends and family– let’s do it!
I was recently on school camp at Beechworth and spotted the
local RACV van ‘racing off’ in their classic Holden panel van
to assist a poor motorist in need. (It seems like there are some
very HEAVY tools and equipment in the back of the van!!!) I
noticed in the background another RACV vehicle in the form
of a beaut EH panel van. Within the beautiful historic town-
ship of Beechworth, it was a very special moment and step
back in time.
What a quality bloke—Mick Devlin has sold his Holden and
decided to donate his outstanding monies to Peters Project–
good on you mate and we hope you pick up another Aussie
icon to cruise with us soon.
Any ideas for the newsletter are gratefully received.
Have YOU got some ideas to improve YOUR club? Send
them along /ring up/ email and we can continue to keep the
good times rolling!
We have a TREMENDOUS club that is made up of so many FANTASTIC members who are keen to
enjoy their Holdens and new friends and add something to the club.
I am not sure who will coach the Bombers in 2015 at the time of writing
this newsletter—will it be Bomber or Hirdy or …….?
One thing I do know for SURE is that Ross in his Bombers jocks is-
A) Gorgeous
B) Athletic
C) Anne is so lucky
D) Ready for action
You may have some other descriptions, so make up your own mind ….
