I hope (as per one of the posts on the forum linked) that it is a clone, not genuine.

Sad to see an old jigger go out, but what a way to go.

Was at a Charger club day at Winton many years ago.  Watched one member come out of the pits on his first run in his VK360, floor it  - and smack the entire side of his rig onto the concrete wall on the old main straight - all up his track day lasted 4 seconds.  Made me back of for at least 2 laps!!

Clone or not that is just horrific. What a waste!

With all the repo stuff being made, there's more GT & GTHO Falcons driving about now than were originally made at the Ford factory.

Kudos to the guy for actually using the car for wat it was made for and not keeping it a garage or trailer queen.

Perhaps that now means Flipped On Race Day!!  instead of Found On Rubbish Dump.

I'm not into the whole Ford / Holden thing ... I just thing that whatever happened ... it's a tragic day for GTHO fans (and having driven one, I'm going to say it was probably something to do with the Shitty steering they have ... Arm Power Steering!). 

Prefer the first photo myself.  I like the colour.

Bent and buckled, doors, some of you blokes get a bit precious about Fords after it is just an old ford.

[Black Diamond]

Bloody nice car or should I say was. Poor bugger.

Very sad some of these NC/Group C racers are worth rediculous money even if they are clones $600k +. Sad to see a great old classic end up like that. I do agree thats its great to see them doing what they were designed for. We went to Bathurst this year and I thouroghly enjoyed the classics, they were great to watch as you could see the guys wrestleing with them and they slid around and bucked all over the track.

I sold my GroupC a few years ago and its now competing again in Historics, I am worried that one day it may suffer the same fate. I hope not.

And you two as well,

Mark ya selves down as being on that list.

Hey Jason B your RS brings back memories, I owned a white 4 door RS. they had puny brakes, even punier driveline but God so fun to drive. Many a late night fang around the hills back of Brissy thinking I was Colin Bond or Greg Carr

haha.

Yeah engine wasn't much good with out mods, I managed to get 180hp out of mine on twin 48's and plenty $$$. There strong point was the twisty bits, great fun and so predictable on a wet greasy road. I was a tragic and had 11 of them. This was my last. I consider going there again often but should really grow up. + I think it would be a let down after my Sierra Cosworth.

@Navara04 a Bundera hey, now the truth is coming out mate.
