where do i begin......in addition to the above post, tx coupes had chrome/black tailight surrounds with extra lights in regard to the sedan. they had a different "opel" floor pan (manual only) that only allowed fitment of the opel 4 speed. they had different raditior mounts (one bolt in the bottom and a top rubber guide either side) but this was only until july 75 i think. tc coupes had a chrome/silver surround and the normal floor pans. td had sedan style tailights with the number plate between them(tx/tc had the plate under the bar) td coupes also came in sl/e versions with chrome around the side windows, headlights and below the grille. they also had monaro/torana sports mirrors, if u wanna know more let me know, i have had 7 coupes and am currently driving a silver td sl/e coupe with tg front and rear panels, and have been doing up a tx coupe for the last 2 years and hopefully might be finished in 2 more!
cheers

tx's have "isuzu gemini" between the tail lights, tc's "holden gemini" between the tail lights and td's have the number plate between the tail lights, as well as the other differences stated

Only a small run of very early TX coupes had the symettrical floor pans (what you call the OPel style)

That gearbox rocked, talk about fast launches! I had a March 75 TX Sedan, didn't launch nearly as hard when I fitted the late model 5spd Sad
