Best motor vehicle ever built

1968 Bathurst, top of the mountain, 24D is Jim Palmer, who came 2nd !

1st was Bruce McPhee !  BTW, he did a lap record of 2.56  !!

Another bit of trivia, Bruce McPhee ran buffed down radials ( Michelin ) compared to race tyres of all the others, because they lasted longer...

Still remember going for a ride with him in an army cargo carrier in the local river approx 45yrs ago !

My wife thinks the same. 

So oldmate and Geoff, we know about PB, so why not let all Craigs fans know about him to, seeing it looks like you know something!!!!!!

[Hairs]

Lol. I want some of what you are smoking   

None of us can afford the Grass he Cuts.

They only raced at Mt Panorama for one year. No other vehicle stood on the podium that year 
1st, 2nd, 3rd outright and 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th in D Class.

The HT was the same car, just slightly different grille and tail lights, plus a 350 instead of the 327..

The HT was the same car..............

 

Blasphemy

Had a mate who had a HK silver fox 186 GTS ( around 1972 ) and it survived quite a few offroad excursions

  And I thought referring to a HT as the same car as a HK was bad, but YOU SIR just hit the lowest of lows 

MINK !!! SILVER MINK !!!  (Silver Fox is XW GT colour  )

[DannyG]

A bit OT but Fabs is confirmed at DJR next year with Pye. Ambrose must be done with full time driving. Its not like he needs the money and after 10 years in the US he could do with a rest from it.

Yep the XT falcon was,   

[gronk]

Yep the XT falcon was,

My dad had a ZB Fairlane , 6 cyl with a few options not ever listed....he wanted a GT but with 4 of us snotters he needed a front bench seat.

BUT, Ford only ever made 2 good cars.....the GTHO and the 68/69 Mustang fastback 390.......NOT the XT.

[GeoffA]

.....the GTHO.........

That's 3 on its' own......

[Garfish]

That's 3 on its' own......

Four if you include the three race phase iv and one production unit that were made before the axe fell....

[Footy Shorts Shane]

Yep the XT falcon was,

As proven at Bathurst in 68/9 

Four if you include the three race phase iv and one production unit that were made before the axe fell....

5 if you consider the "1.5" the model everyone has chosen to forget about, being a lemon and all 

Ford finally got it right when they built the Cobra.
