What's so special about this a

Stories around about them being acid dipped to lighten them etc. Just stories apparently though. They were modified to suit each race teams requirements in terms of
mounting points etc being added as needed. Basically a factory prepared race shell not intended for road use. I think around 25 or so hatchback shells were made. They all had the GMP&A on the tag. This being General Motors Parts and Accessories. Brocks 05 LX is an example of a GMP&A car.
They are possibly the "holy grail" when it comes to Toranas and Holdens in general. Not something you would expect to find under a tree in a paddock thats for sure.
I think a couple escaped race duties and did make it as road cars. Some of the race cars certainly were converted to road cars I believe.
A9X hatchbacks are the top of the heap in my book.
