Did the '70s Torana share a body shell with the Opel Ascona / Vauxhall Victor? Sure looks similar.

They did change the design for the local cars but yes GM shared their designs all over the world.
Being really honest I never liked them. I was always more interested in Euro cars.
BTW Classic Corvettes have always been like gold in Australia. But unfortunately a lot of them have been converted to RHD locally. A few years ago the laws changed so privately imported cars aren't converted anymore which is a very good thing.
