What is this? Are they decent cars? I like the lines. What do these go for in AU?

The 1972 LJ's were basically face-lifted LC models with substantial improvements. The GTR XU-1 now sported triple 175mm CD Strongberg side-draught carburettors and camshaft modifications, developing 190bhp, making it a very formidable beast. The four-speed XU-1 gearbox was now the Australian four-speed transmission, type M21. The GTR XU-1 was undergoing constant development, with each facet of the car being improved as required for racing, until the ultimate version was released in September 1972. It had stronger fine-spline rear axles, tubular exhaust headers (extractors) and 13x6 inch Globe Sprintmaster alloy wheels. The XU-1 engine featured a beefier block and pistons, new head casting and bigger cam, and boasted more than 200bhp. A GTR XU-1 (four speed) could cover the quarter in 15.6 seconds, which was pretty formidable for a small road car. The XU-1 went on to dominate Australian Touring Car Racing and won the famous Bathrust 1000-kilometre race.

Hi! One of your members said aussiecoupes.com was mentioned here so I had to come look as that is me.

Yeah sure I drive F*rds but my roots are in Dato's. I won the state championship in the 4cyl class (drag racing) in a Dato 16 way back in 1987.

Always wanted a 1600 coupe but since moving to the USA I have been too busy to even think about one.

Cheers,

Phil
