You are not wrong there mate. Valiant Pacer's, Torana's and GTHO Falcons' mixing it up with Datsun's and Toyota's and other small cars. Pure gold that sadly we aren't gonna see anymore.

@@jeffwilliams742 Me too mate. I remember watching the Bathurst race on TV back then. It was a bit of a ritual, beers, a barbie and seeing the factory teams and privateers get right among it in all kind of different cars. I have heaps of DVD's of those good years that I trot out and watch whenever I get the chance to.

Bill Brown. Now there's a likely lad for roof scraping work. Crashed in 69. Did the big one at Skyline in 71, and we saw him rolling straight towards us. 72 wasn't much better for him too.

Allan Moffat mentions in his memoir that later in the race his car was having problems and Bruce McPhee was closing on him. The Ford team instructed Moffat and McPhee to maintain their racing order until the finish. The reason for this is disclosed by Moffat himself - he would have tried to fight McPhee off for first place despite his car ailing, and so instead of Ford having a secure quinella they would have had their two lead drivers dicing, one of them in an ailing car, with the possibility of both coming to grief.

@usa usa LOL, good chance of that mate. The Toranas were light and gave the bigger cars a shit of a time on tighter tracks.

@usa usa Haha, sounds like you know the car. Back in those days the cars went great but..... brakes? What are those ? I remember having a 265 Valiant and it went pretty well but don't you dare ask it to go around a corner !

@@SMHman666 LOL I remember them well mate, had a few of them. The cheaper versions of them didn't have a front roll bar. The upmarket ones did and that made all the difference. They fixed it all up with the CM Valiant but by then it was too late. I have fond memories of a VK Valiant with a 360 V8 I owned. All brute force, but it handled like a pregnant cow on an ice skating rink........God I loved it though.

People forget the Fords qualified 5 seconds faster than the XU1. Moffat was a smart driver, he looked after the car , engine , tyres brakes and gearbox. Not the fastest driver , just one of the smartest and knew if he finished he would win.

Al Turner's imprint is all over the Ford Team. When Al wanted to go racing nothing was going to stand in the way. Quite a pity that it all went to pot once the manufacturer's got scared off by the "super car scare" unleashed by Evan Green. That said though, a Phase 4, an XU-2 and an E49 would all have been way too powerful for the steering, brakes and suspensions of these family saloons and he probably saved many lives.

Disappointing that the jacks used by the Ford team were illegal and weren't approved for use..also a lapscoring discrepancy that was discovered by the Chrysler team manager would've meant a lot different result..full story by Mark Oastler in Australian muscle car magazine...
