The Holden Torana Mystere was a one-off concept car built in 1977 for the Sydney Motor Show by Recaro Australia, the seat maker, on the basis of a Holden Torana LX SS hatchback. It was designed and built by Arcadipane Automotive and had a Monza style front end, a rear end shortened by about 355 millimetres and a 308 cubic inch V8 with an M21 four-speed manual gearbox. Its unusual feature was a full leather interior, with hides ordered from a tannery in West Germany in a special green that was also meant for the paintwork. The plan was to put it on sale once General Motors-Holden's backing for the mechanical warranty was confirmed and the price could be brought under 15,000 dollars, but the leather made that target hard to meet. Only one Mystere was ever made, and it survives with a private owner in Melbourne.
