The car in which motor racing legend Peter Brock drove to victory in the Australian Touring Car Championship in 1974 has sold for a record price.

A Melbourne construction company owner, who wanted to remain anonymous, paid $500,000 for the Holden Torana, the highest amount paid for a Holden.

The Torana was owned by the family of former Holden Dealer Team mechanic Ian Tate.

The mystery owner said he saw the car in storage and had to buy it.

"The Tates wanted the car to stay in Victoria and I had been looking for that kind of car for a while," the man told News Limited.

Brock drove the car to victory in the Australian Touring Car Championship in 1974.

He also finished second at Bathurst in the car in 1973.

Brock died in an accident while taking part in the Targa West rally in Western Australia on September 8 this year.
