Cool....I owned an original SL/R 5000 in 1982....had worked for 4 years and saved and also was buying and selling pins at that time.

Was in Year 12 at a Catholic Collage and can still remember doing massive burnouts out of school most days....

Will dig out some pix over the next few days and scan and post.

What was even cooler was my Dad was Principle of Wollongong TAFE at the time and had the entire car go through 'the system' at TAFE - had a 327 fully rebuilt and dropped in, 4W discs, 2" dual exhaust, full A9X kit installed, all new original SL/R 5000 interior installed, fully resprayed, Saginaw (sp?) 4 speed fully rebuilt and was all done - and it cost me NOTHING.

Was one of the coolest Toranas I have ever seen - sold it to some dude in Canberra about 6 months later for a few reasons:

Couldn't keep it on the road as it had too much grunt
The Cops pulled me over ALL THE F*CKING TIME
Couldn't leave the car anywhere for a few minutes as peopke would want to check it out etc.
