FORD FALCON XB GT Cannon Ball Run 1976, This XBGT was entered and issued with a
Cannonball Run number plate, 240. The race covered 3,755 kilometres stretching from
Darwin, down the Stuart Highway all the way to Alice Springs. The 1994 Cannonball
Run was a legal event run in the Northern Territory, Australia from 22 May to 27 May
1994. Being built in May of 1976 makes this car special also as it is one of only 13 cars
finished in Outback Bronze with Walnut Glow accents. The saddle trim also presents
nicely. It still wears its original 12 slots wheels with centre caps as well as other
original items such as the radio cassette and long-range fuel tank. Currently running a
healthy 351 4V Cleveland (JG66- XAGT Coupe engine) which sounds awesome through
the side exiting exhaust and backed by a 4 speed Top Loader and 9 diff. Overall this is a
solid and great survivor car which is ready to race or simply be a weekend cruiser. Now

spectacular condition. Exactly what you would expect on a car that has only travelled
just over 35,000 kilometres! Matching its looks is the power of a 5.7 LS1 Chev engine
and a 6speed manual gearbox. Believed to be one of approximately 34 made in this
specification. Other upgrades include HSV brakes and a rare HSV throttle body. Still
with the Monaro are its original logbook and dealer folder showing full-service history

PONTIAC GTO 1967, In early 1963, General Motors' management banned divisions from involvement in auto racing. This
followed the 1957 voluntary ban on automobile racing that was instituted by the Automobile Manufacturers Association. By the
early 1960s, Pontiac's advertising and marketing approach was heavily based on performance. With GM's ban on
factory-sponsored racing, Pontiac's managers began to emphasize street performance. The GTO underwent a few styling
changes in 1967. The louver-covered taillights were replaced with eight taillights, four on each side. Rally II wheels with
coloured lug nuts were also available in 1967. The GTO emblems located on the rear part of the fenders were moved to the
chrome rocker panels. The grille was changed from a purely split grille to one that shared some chrome. The 1967 GTO was
available in three body styles. If you are a fan of American Muscle cars, then this is the car for you! Beautifully presented 1967
Pontiac GTO. Lovingly restored in 2013 and cared for by the current owner of over twenty years with comprehensive
documentation of all restoration work that was carried out. The Pontiac is finished in its original Champagne Poly metallic paint
with original mouldings and badges all where they should be just like when it left the factory. Period correct Cragar wheels and
BF Goodrich tyres looking perfect on the car also. Inside is no different! From top to bottom the interior is beautiful with all
original appointments. Right hand drive conversion is also fully engineered. Powering this beast is a 400 cubic inch V8 that has
been stroked to a massive 455 cubic inches. Driving is made easy with a Turbo 400 automatic transmission and backed up by
a Ford 9 diff. Car is sold fully registered in New South Wales and is ready to enjoy! Ready to be inspected by appointment in
our Kogarah facility. #C352. TA1091766. $110,000
HOLDEN HSV VR SENATOR 1994, In 1993, the significantly redesigned VR Senator was released. The rear
seating was from the Holden Statesman. Along with the rest of the HSV range, the Senator body kit was
penned by designer Ian Callum to produce a sleeker, more aggressive stance along with a 185 kW (248
hp) version of the 5.0-litre V8. A new suspension setup was developed, known as the touring package
which aimed to provide capable handling and a smooth ride. Additionally, from May 1994 onwards, the
Senator could be optioned with HSV's new 215 kW (288 hp) 5.7-litre "stroker" V8 known as the "215i".
The $10,000 "stroker" engine option was hand built as an upgrade over the standard V8. Up for sale here
is a beautiful 1994 model Holden VR Senator HSV. The Sherbrooke Green paintwork presents very well
along with Slate Grey leather trim. Under the bonnet is the highly sort after 215kw 5.7 litre stroker engine
backed by the four-speed automatic transmission. The odometer is showing 137872 kilometres. Original
logbook and folder are still with the car. Build number is 595 of just 855 cars produced in this model by
Holden Special Vehicles. Of them not many were produced with the costly 215kw engine making this car
super desirable to any HSV collector. Now available for viewing by appointment in our Kogarah facility.

FORD MUSTANG FASTBACK GT350 HERTZ REPLICA 1966, One of the classic Sixties cars was Fords
Mustang, a personal sports coupe introduced in 1964 to general acclaim and by 1966 was breaking all
sales records in fact the Mustang notched up 1,000,000 units sold that year. Ford had the sense to leave
the winning formula alone for 1966, and in September that year, Hertz and Peyton Cramer, Shelbys
General manager, collaborated on a 1966 Shelby GT350H as a rental car to attract potential buyers. Hertz
Sports Car Club members where able to rent on for $17 a day and pay 17c a mile. Attired in black with
gold Le Mans stripes, renting a Shelby GT350H was extremely popular among racing enthusiasts, many
would take it to the drag strip and others would remove the engine and place it into their personal cars so
they would not damage the body of the rental. After many years the Shelby GT350 became a scarce and
sought after American muscle car with many multimillion dollar examples being sold under the hammer.
This particular Mustang remains as a left hand drive which has been restored to replicate the
GT350-Hertz in the desirable Black with Gold stripe combination and presents in stunning condition
maintaining its mint day one trim with heaps of street appeal and is a blast to drive, running a mild 289
V8 Windsor, T-bar automatic gearbox and power steering not forgetting the integrated air-conditioning for
that comfort weekend cruise ridding on period correct sports wheels a real head turner. Now available to
view in our Kogarah facility. #C299. TA1073001. $97,000

ROAD TIME
TRUE DISCOVERY TAKES MILES AND MILES

WHEN YOU BUY A CAR you generally have a pretty good
idea of what you’re getting into, even if you haven’t clapped eyes
on it before. In this digital age, it’s pretty easy to get hold of a
gallery of photos and maybe even a video of the thing running.
Sometimes you can almost smell the leather and oil vapour.
That is of course if you have access to all those advantages. I
can think of at least two recent purchases where I wasn’t sure
what colour the damn thing was, and another where I wasn’t
even sure what model it was. There is such a thing as being too
trusting, but it worked out fine in all three cases.
Even once you have your scone-grabbers on the keys, there’s
only so much you can absorb across the first few drives. I reckon
it can take hundreds of miles (or kilometres, if you prefer) before
you really get a handle on a car. Or is that just me? Perhaps I
have the automotive equivalent of a blocked ear.
It’s possible, but I don’t think that’s the case. For example,
when we bought the second-latest addition to the fleet, the 1989
Benz 300SEL, aka the luxo barge or land yacht, I kind of knew
what we were getting into. It’s big, it’s not particularly powerful,
and it cost a paltry $8000 – an easy winner on metal-per-buck.
When we collected it, I was warned it had barely been used
over the last couple of decades, so we immediately drove it from
Melbourne to Canberra, via Cooma, and back. It’s since done
several long trips and the experience has been a revelation.
First, it’s an astoundingly good distance car, if all you want is
to cruise up the highway more or less around the speed limit. It’s
now the traveller’s car of choice, even ahead of the far quicker
and more current BMW E39 540 Sport.
And it gives every sign of being indestructible...yeah, I know,
that really is tempting fate. It’s taken a few thousand miles, but
I’ve discovered there’s still astonishing value for money out
there in classic car land. Who knew?

house, the Singer Group,
has appointed the Zagame
Automotive Group to the
company’s global partner
network for Australia and New
Zealand.
Owners of 964 Series
Porsche 911s can learn about
Singer's services and discuss
their individual requirements
as well as having access to
expert in-country servicing
and maintenance from a
trusted partner.
One of the first Porsche

Zealand and seen here with its
carbon fibre bodywork in Olive
with contrasting black stripes
and lettering. The interior is
trimmed in Chocolate Brown.
The heart of this machine
is a 3.8lt, naturally aspirated,
air-cooled flat-six, paired with
a manual transmission. The
first restoration for an owner
in Australia will arrive later in
2021.
Buyers can choose either the
traditional rear-wheel-drive
911 or Singer can render an all-
wheel drive 911 in either left or
right-hand drive.
Of course there is a wealth
of performance upgrades on
offer, to ensure the visual bark
is followed by bite.
The Singer Porsches are
painstakingly restored with
the brilliantly-named Special
Wishes Department handling
all manner of client requests
be it bespoke details or
engineering upgrades.
Much of the work so
far shows a tendncy for
the company to keep the
classic profile of the 911 but
play around with the final
presentation for subtly cleaner
look.
Founder and Executive
Chairman of Singer, Rob
Dickinson, explains, "It’s so
exciting to be reaching out to
new audiences. We’re humbled
to be in touch with enthusiasts
in Australia and New Zealand
who wish to commission
our services in pursuit of
their personal vision for the
ultimate air-cooled 911. We’re
thrilled to be collaborating
with these owners and to
be building a strong local
presence.
"As our client group
expands around the world, we
need partners of the highest
calibre to look after them.”
Bobby Zagame adds: “We’re
very excited to be at the
forefront of supporting Singer’s
clients and together we look
forward to seeing more of
these beautiful cars."

and the Ghibli is recognised as one of the
most stylish and best performing cars to
roll off the Maserati line. This Ghibli was
bought new by Sinatra’s son-in-law, Wes

One of Colin Chapman’s wonderful designs,
the Renault 16 powered Europa is the first
mid-engine Lotus and with only 5000

with fibreglass panels and was equally agile
and fragile. Over the past 20 years this one

THIS IS THE small Ford the Escort replaced.

The 105 Anglia.was once the king of Pommy
driveways with its signature reverse slant rear
glass. This restored one has a ‘Kent’ engine
bored to 1800cc, fed by a pair of 40mm

WHEN HENRY Ford decided to bury

Ferrari at LeMans with the GT40 in 1966, his
company built him a one-off Mustang to drive
on French backroads while his racers were
doing the same. Not only does it have the
Henry Ford II provenance it also has a 289ci
K-code V8. It has specially styled steel wheels
and a quicker steering ratio..

THIS ONE-owner, original and unrestored HQ

with full history, in Ultra Violet, marks the start
of the SS dynasty. Basically a Belmont with a
heap of parts thrown at it and 3M striping, the
SS was an instant hit. The original 253ci V8,
M20 four-speed manual, sports suspension,
bucket seats with houndstooth cloth inserts,
a GTS steering wheel and dash are there but
need a total rebuild. What a project!.

THE RS2000 has enjoyed a strong following

and unique to Oz was a four-door version
with a 2.0lt four behind its droop snout. This
one is original right down to its Scheel seats.
Adding colour to its history, it was repainted
after bushfire damage. The black cloth-faced

little elbow grease the interior could sparkle
again. A perfect start or addition to a Ford

DECEMBER 1996
$12,000 ALFA SUD 1.5
As the man on the microphone at the car auctions
-15,000 might say when trying to cajole an extra bid; ‘Find
NOW me another one’. Alfa Suds were lovely but among
the most rust-afflicted cars ever built and hardly
any of the original four-doors will have found their
way to 2021. Sometimes you might spot a two-door
$4500 Ti (see ‘Today’s Tempter’ from November 2020) but
cars like this sedan have all but departed. If this
one is still rust-free and running, international Alfa
collectors will be hammering on the vendor’s door
with fists full of Lire if ever it is advertised again.

MARCH 1999

$300,000
FORD XC COBRA 5.8
In keeping with the nature of the current market we
-330,000 today present a model that hasn’t simply soared to
10 or even 20 times its 1990s price. No, this scarce
NOW

XC will on a good day and with multiple bidders

have a decent shot at registering a hammer price
that is thirty times the amount being sought 22
$11,000 years ago. With so few XC Cobras produced, details
of each variation and even individual cars were
carefully documented so we know that this is one
of 38 built as a 5.8 manual with power windows and
steering and its ‘provenance’ is easy to establish.

JANUARY 2005
MERCEDES-BENZ 600 PULLMAN
Rolls Royce for many years claimed to build the
$600,000 best luxury car in the world, to which the folk at
-700,000 Mercedes-Benz would smile and reply ‘But we have
the biggest’. A basic 600 limousine in 1963 measured
5.5 metres and weighed 2.4 tonnes which was surely
NOW

enough for most people. However, if you were Idi

Amin, Ferdinand Marcos or the late Bob Jane (who
had a rare open-top Landaulette version), it had to
$90,000 be a long wheelbase Pullman. These, surprisingly,
are not too difficult to locate, with several available
from European sources. Prices are surging and A$1
million surely beckons.

 MAY 1994
BUICK GS455
As one of General Motor’s prestige brands, Buick’s
$60,000 role as a source of brutally powerful muscle
-65,000 cars might have surprised traditional owners.
Or maybe not. Big-engined Buicks dated back

NOW
decades and its chrome-laden monsters from the
1950s would top 100mph (161km/h). By the 1970s,
Buick had developed a 7.4-litre engine which, with
$37,500 the benefit of high-compression heads and a huge
carburettor, delivered a genuine 270kW. GS-spec
Skylarks like this aren’t common in Australia but
US values aren’t ridiculous and you could land a
nice one here for under A$60,000.

APRIL 1993
PEUGEOT 404 WAGON
Former UC Editor Nathan Ponchard has a
$8000 penchant for quirky cars and recently revealed a
-10,000 love of things Peugeot. But he doesn’t have one of
these. The 404 Familiale was (I believe) assembled
NOW in Melbourne alongside other Peugeots and also
the products of arch-rival Renault. Adding to
the indignity, both brands were sold in the same
$3600 showrooms and suffered the same levels of used
market distain. Low retained values and costly
parts affected the 404’s survival prospects and
wagons have become especially scarce. Any that
do survive though should be quite affordable.

JANUARY 1993
CHRYSLER 300 CONVERTIBLE
$50,000 ‘I got me a Chrysler, it’s as big as a whale’ is a
-55,000 line from the B52’s Love Shack and looking at
this monstrous 300 model they weren’t wrong.
Chrysler initially devised its ‘Letter Series’
NOW

cars as hemi-engined racing stars but by 1962

they had become overblown family transport
with 7.4-litres serving only to keep the front
$24,000 end clamped to the bitumen. Cars like this
didn’t come to Australia when new and this
one probably arrived during the 1980s. Unless
somebody since 1993 lost their senses and had it
RHD converted, this car in nice condition should
have at least doubled its 1993 asking price.

APRIL 1986
HOLDEN 50-2106 UTILITY
Okay Barn Find fanatics, what would you pay
$22,000 today for an intact, original Holden ute with
a tray-load of provenance? $17,500, or maybe
-30,000 $37,500? You would of course need to trek back
35 years to buy this one and then get it aboard
NOW

a boat where no one was too concerned about

the old clunker dropping rust and dribbling oil
through the hold. Back in the 1980s there were
$1750 plenty of unrestored Holdens being offered and
you could have secured one like this for less than
$1750. Because the ute didn’t arrive until 1950, it
also carried a different model designation to the
sedan’s 48-215.

This makes an interesting
change from the ubiquitous
Michelin/Goodyear and
‘Kingswood Parking Only’
signs hanging in the shed. It’s a
reproduction of an advertising
poster, celebrating the heady
achievements of the mighty
Fiat Abarth 1000/850 TC
series. You didn’t know there
was such a thing? Shame on
you! It’s a metal sign in A3 size
and costs $50 from Echoes

bigger range that’s worth
exploring.
echoes.store
4. TOOL UP
Fancy a weekend playing in
the shed? One thing we’ve
discovered over the years
is that there are a couple
of things which make that
a whole lot less frustrating:
First, some decent tools and
plenty of them; Second, a
proper lockable trolley to
help organise them and,
if necessary, move them
around the workshop.
Really, the latter can be life-
changing. This example from
Chicane is a six-drawer 41-
inch (1040mm) unit, priced
at $699

5. HO CLOTHES
Yep, okay, we do have to
cover off at least one Phase III
piece of merchandise, given
the cover theme for this issue.
We’re going for the Vermillion
Fire with gold stripe colour
scheme, with a front and
rear interpretation of the
mighty GT-HO. A mob called
the Stomp Shop is doing
this one, in what’s said to be
180gsm cotton. Price is $50.

6. SHELBY TRIM
As some of you will know,
the fun doesn’t stop when
you buy yourself a new or
late-model Mustang. There
is a battalion of people who
will sell you gear for it, and
by far one of the better
players out there is Mustang
Motorsport. They can actually
build you a licenced Shelby
variant, which can be taken
up to stratospheric levels of
power. And you can of course

After reading the article regarding Phil
Grant’s XT GT resto (issue 454), which looks
absolutely gorgeous, I was quite amused by
his fuel gauge problem.
I have an XD and one day we were
preparing for a trip, not far, just up the coast

well, the Falcon is purring along nicely, but
the missus is starting to feel a little car sick,
so I said that the half way fuel station is just
ahead, does she want to stop?
She asks how the petrol is going and I
look at the gauge and say, nar, she’s really
running good, as it is not unusual when
on a trip that fuel consumption gets really
good. So the Boss declines the offer of a
break.
Then, just as we go past the entrance, you
guessed it, out goes the fire, still reading

PERMITS EXPLAINED
Hi all at Unique Cars, just
dropping a note to correct
a letter in issue 453. It says,
“club permit holders do
pay TAC insurance plus are
classed as registered owners
therefore the old cars are
registered.”
In this he is partially wrong.
Yes we pay the TAC fee but
no registration fee. Being a
registered owner does not
imply the car is registered
just that you are the owner
as recognised by Vicroads.
Also if you are stopped by the
police and haven’t filled out
the club permit logbook, you
will be fined for driving an
“unregistered vehicle” as the
vehicle in question is only on
“a permit”.
When the scheme was first
introduced, you could only
drive it on organised club runs
or to get repairs done. It has
since changed to being able
to drive it whenever you want,
except to earn money. Cheers
and keep up the good work,
guys.

ED: Nicely explained, Mark.
Thanks.
HARDIE MEMORIES
I am an old retired fart but
spent many years working at
the Hardie-Ferodo group in a
variety of roles and actually
had my honeymoon at the
big event at Bathurst, which
has been a constant source of
amusement and discussion
for “she who must be obeyed”.
There were a number of
events that I remember with a
sense of humility and laughter
that occurred over the years,
starting with a test driver
engaging reverse and backing
over the fifth wheel on the old
test track at Pitt Town (now a
housing estate).
I recall one of our executive
company cars, a Ford Landau,
was left unattended and
engaged reverse and backed
itself into a large retaining
wall. Yes the selector lever on
the column simply dropped
into reverse from park and
the large barge took off.
The boss was not happy!
That happened at the H-F
factory and test workshop at
Smithfield.
I have had a variety of
cars over the, including a
Messerschmitt, Goggomobil
(300cc of dynamite), Beetle,
Skyline and a selection of
Holdens, Fords and even a
Chrysler that did not have the
word Valiant anywhere on
the vehicle. Owned a Singer
Gazelle, Peugeot 403B, FJ
Holden (my first car), Mazdas,
etc... and recently slobbered
over a distant relative’s fully
imported Corvette...ooh the
muscle! The cockpit is smaller
than the Mini Minor, but the
grunt makes up for the lack of
legroom.
I have also been a bikie of
sorts and have owned a few
machines but love the Honda.
Had a Jawa, Bridgestone,
Vespa, Lambretta, couple of
Hondas and even rode the
very first honda CB750-Four

brought out to run in the
Castrol 6-Hour production
race at Amaroo Park.
That was a lucky break as
my work mate was a factory
rider entered in the event
and in those days it felt like
boarding a Mini Minor and
chucking a wheelie.
But what probably caps it
all off is I do recall a Bathurst
drive round the track in our
advertising manager’s red
Charger, wherein I stood up
through the sunroof and gave
the traditional two finger
salute to the gathered crowd
at the top of the hill. That was
met with a barrage of empty
tinnies which bounced off his
much loved unmarked beast.
He was quite hostile and
never offered to drive me
around the track again – spoil

HOLDEN TORANA
LJ GTR XU-1
THIS ‘BATHURST’ TORANA GTR XU-1 ONCE HAD A FACTORY AUTO
THAT WAS TESTED BY HOLDEN ENGINEERS AT LANG LANG
WORDS  MARK HIGGINS PHOTOS  SUPPLIED

30 TradeUniqueCars.com.au
WARREN COLLEY is a
Holden man through and
through and counts an EK
model and WM Statesman in
his shed. But as long as he can
remember his real passion has
been the Torana GTR XU-1.
And he has been the
custodian of this award
winning, unique Torana that has
a very interesting history as he
told me recently.
“As a young bloke I always
wanted a Torana GTR XU-1
and when I started my cabinet
making apprenticeship, I put
away every cent I could and
advertised in the Herald Sun,
The Age and The Melbourne
Trading Post, ‘Wanting to Buy
Torana GTR XU-1 Will Pay Top
Dollar’. I was swamped but
none of the cars were any good.
At the same time I had mates
saying why don’t you buy a VH
SL/E Commodore or a VN SS
but all I wanted was an XU-1.
“Then I read a story written
by Joe Kenwright about his
own 1973 Bathurst XU-1 and
after reading that story I said to
myself, ‘That’s me and that’s the
car I want.’
“I reckon I looked at every
single XU-1 that came onto the
market for about eight or nine
months, then one day I was at
a mates house reading a very
old issue of Unique Cars and
saw an ad for a 1973 Bathurst
XU-1. So I rang the number and
spoke to Scott Houlihan who
was the owner at the time and
asked him who he sold it to. He
told me to call back in a week,
which I did and he gave me Rob
Colson’s number.
“So I rang Rob and told him
I’d like to buy the car and he

Warren is the fourth actual
owner but the third registered
owner. After GMH had finished
with it in 1974 Mike Rowntree’s
– bought it on his behalf
with Mike keeping it for 18
years before selling it to Scott
Houlihan who owned for four
years. Rob Coulson acquired it
in 1996 and Warren bought it
from Rob the following year and
has owned it since.

more than what I had been

through.

and at some stage it was
fitted with an automatic
transmission, in what has
been described to Warren
as an auto styling exercise.
While his GTR XU-1 now has
the M21 optional four-speed
manual gearbox, Warren says
that nobody really knows
why Holden fitted an auto
to an XU-1. Speculation is it
was either the testbed for a
hot six with an auto for the
upcoming LH series or for
a small batch run of auto
XU-1s. Today the car still
has the line in the bottom of
the original radiator for the
auto and the LJ auto console
now with the manual boot
surround and lever.

tank testing is also said to

1975 VJ VALIANT CHARGER
LOW MILES AND HIGH SPEC MAKE THIS ONE SPECIAL
IT’S NOT often you trip
over a true survivor from the
seventies, but this 1975 VJ
Charger seems to fit the bill.
By the time this car rolled
off the production line, much
of the original excitement over
this special two-door series
had settled down, and there
was evidence the local coupe
market overall was dwindling.
In fact, the whole concept of
the Charger almost happened
by mistake. Legend has it that
the whole idea started with
a question proposed by then
Chrysler Australia M-D David
Brown: what would a short-
wheelbase coupe based on a
VH look like?
Clearly it was a question
that intrigued Chief Stylist
Brian Smyth and his team, and
they went to work with some

mock-ups under the project
name of Rebel. While head
office back in the USA was
sort of kept informed, Brown
put his proverbial neck on the
line by scratching up some
minimal budget and having
the car more or less production
ready before getting approval.
Of course the car and the
attendant ‘Hey Charger’ ad
campaign was a big success.
While V8s were inevitably
produced, it was really the
top-flight sixes that were the
hero cars and helped cement
the make’s reputation for its
‘hemi’ line-up.
This example is an intriging
car in that whoever ordered
it from the dealership wasn’t
afraid to put their own twist
on the spec. It’s running the
big 265ci (4.3lt) single-carb
six, four-speed manual and
a Sports Pack. The latter
included the 770-spec
instrument cluster and a
number of styling tweaks.
The Charger claims under
29,000km on the odo, which is
incredible given its age. That
alone will be enough to get
the attention of your average
Mopar collector. It’s with

and is priced at $125,000.

HOLDEN TORANA LX
1976-1978
S
tarting life based on a
Vauxhall Viva with the
model designations
HB, LC and LJ, the
Holden Torana, an
indigenous word meaning
‘to fly’, grew into a mid-size
vehicle with the LH and
then in February 1976 the
slightly facelifted LX Series
was born.
The LX Torana is
remembered for several
key milestones, being the
debut of the hatchback
body and as a beneficiary
of the massive overhaul
40 TradeUniqueCars.com.au
45 YEARS
WORDS  MARK HIGGINS PHOTOS  UNIQUE CARS ARCHIVES
and redesign of the ride
and handling of all Holden
models with the introduction
of Radial Tuned Suspension
in March 1977.
It was also the last Torana
to be fitted with a V8 and that
led to the creation
of arguably one of the most
successful race cars to wear
the lion badge, the A9X.
No matter what your
budget or driving enjoyment
level was there was a Torana
for everyone, though
Holden continued to push it
towards the youth market as
they had the more agile LC
and LJ models.
The sedan-only Torana S
and SL were offered with a
1.9lt four, a 173ci six cylinder
or a 253ci V8 engine. The
SL/R sedan came with a 202ci
six a 253ci V8 or the 308ci V8.
The hatchback version of the
SL came with the 202ci six
while the SS was offered with
the same six plus the 253ci
and 308ci V8s. Transmissions
were a four-speed manual or
a three-speed auto and prices

started at $4345.
The A9X option pack had
a clear family link to the
previous L34-optioned LH
model, but like the shaker on
a Phase III GT-HO Falcon, the
A9X is instantly recognisable
by its rear-facing bonnet
scoop and underneath rear
disc brakes, heavy-duty
axle, and a 10 bolt Salisbury
differential. The A9X could be
bought with either body.
July 1976 saw the
introduction of ADR27A
emissions legislation
sapping the power of most
cars and the Torana range
didn’t escape. At the same
time it was Australia’s
introduction to metrification
so horsepower became
kilowatts. Power losses
ranged from 13 to 79
horsepower.
42 TradeUniqueCars.com.au
“THE BIG NEWS
WAS THE HATCH
A FIRST FOR THE GENERAL”
In a bid to boost sales and
no doubt restore the sporty
image of the Torana, Holden
separated the sluggish
four-cylinder model from the
sixes and V8s in November
1976 with the introduction
of the Sunbird name. It sold
as a four-door sedan and
three-door hatch and stood
apart from the LX Torana
with its vertical bar grille,
chrome wheel covers and
ironically, despite being the
least powerful car of that
body style, was the first to
benefit from Radial Tuned
Suspension.
Overall the body didn’t
change much from the LH to
the LX with the most obvious
changes being to replace the
LH’s rectangular headlights
with seven-inch round
headlights, the window
surrounds went from body
colour to black and the
Holden badge on the front
grew in size. The rear spoiler
on the SL/R 5000 was now
body coloured.
Inside the changes
were equally as mild with
a notable step up in fit
RIGHT We finally

and finish. There were
new graphics for the
instrumentation and the
foot-operated switch for low
and high beam headlights
was moved to the indicator
stalk. However the biggest
improvement was to the front
bucket seats that had a new
shape and greater support for
more comfort.
But the big news was the
hatch, a first for the General,
promoted as offering the
best of a sedan and a wagon
in one.
Although the hatchback
gave the Torana a very
different look and attracted
new buyers, it turns out the
shallow boot space wasn’t
very practical and didn’t take
much in the way of cargo.
The hatchback gave rise to
one of the oddest accessories

ever sold, the ‘hatch-hutch’
that clipped onto the opened
hatch turning the humble
Torana into a tent so the
younger amorous LX buyers
Holden were aiming the
car at could enjoy the great
outdoors… Usually from
indoors.
The hatch body was a boon
for those in Group C touring
car racing as it was not only
lighter than the sedan, but its
“THE HATCH
WAS A BOON FOR
TOURING CAR RACING”
slippery shape also boosted
its performance considerably
which is why the majority
of A9Xs to hit the track were
hatchbacks.
The A9X was the fastest
and finest Torana and the
last homologation special.
It was built to simply win
Bathurst and was the first
Holden to feature four-wheel
disc brakes. It was also built
on a unique rear floor pan to
accommodate the meatier

disc brakes.
MOTORSPORT
However you look at it, the
Holden Torana A9X was a
remarkable race car. It won
three Australian Touring
Car Championships in three
years, was on pole position
at its three Bathurst outings
and scored two Bathurst
wins – the latter a crushing
victory to Peter Brock
and Jim Richards by a
staggering six laps, with
Brock setting a new
record on the last lap of
the 1000km race.
Twenty months after
the first LX Torana rolled
off the production line
the limited edition A9X
made its motorsport
debut at the Hang Ten
400 at Sandown Park, the
Bathurst curtain raiser. It
was Holden legend Peter
Brock who took his Bill
Patterson backed car to
victory and three weeks
later he sat on pole
position at Bathurst. But
while the horde of A9X
Toranas ran strongly
none could match the
might of Allan Moffat’s
Ford Dealer team who
crossed the line in that
famous 1-2 win.
In 1978, after
beefing up in the off
season the Torana
A9X came back bigger
and better than ever.
Peter Brock and Bob
Morris won consecutive
Australian Touring Car
Championships and
Brock won back-to-back
Bathursts in 1978 and 79.
Brock maintained
the Holden Torana
A9X hatchback was the
greatest race car he ever
drove.
In all 65,977 LX
Toranas were produced
with the A9X the most
valued and lauded of all.
Holden replaced the
LX Series Torana in
1978 with the UC model
with softer styling and
softer performance
and no V8. Enthusiast
buyers walked away
from it and over to the
all-new, similar sized
and V8 equipped
Commodore.

necessity to satisfy CAMS regulations allowing it
to compete on Australian racetracks.

GRAIL STATUS Unique Cars caught up with David Ford,

TradeUniqueCars.com.au 55
50 YEARS OF PHASE III
“FORD AUSTRALIA BECAME VERY SERIOUS ABOUT
SEDAN STYLE RACING”
Advanced Program and Component Planning Manager at Ford
Australia at the time to talk about this special muscle car.
According to David the original GT-HO concept from 1969
came from the Competitions Department that was originally
under Public Affairs who handled motorsport in general from
the early 1960s.
Around the time of the first GT Falcon, the XR, Ford Australia
became very serious about sedan style racing and established
a separate and dedicated competition department headed by
American Al Turner, reporting to Keith Horner Director of Sales
and Marketing and Managing Director Bill Bourke and working
closely with product development.
“I remember the Product Planning office was in the Research
Centre and Al Turner, the boss of Special Vehicles and the race
team, had his office right next door within the Research Centre
itself,” said David Ford.
“It was at this time we started building the more specialised
vehicles like the Phase I, Phase II and Phase III Falcons and
people like Ian Stockings and a number of other guys all
came on board, including John Gowland (London to Sydney
56 TradeUniqueCars.com.au
Marathon Team Manager) and this was also the time that Lot 6
(the race team HQ) was established.”
While Ford HQ in Detroit had no direct involvement in the
development of the GT-HO, what they had was an abundance of
competition knowledge from competing in the TransAm series
that came to Australia with Al Turner, who previously had a
senior role in Ford’s US Competitions Department.
When asked who was responsible for the GT-HO Phase III
and its predecessors, Ford said “What happened was Al Turner
would carefully study the regulations and decide what he could
actually get through within the regulations and what needed to
be modified to the cars to achieve that.
“This would then be discussed with Engineering especially
if it was for complex parts for the vehicles or modification of
production parts was needed, but the work itself would pretty
much be executed by the team at Lot 6.”
Ford Australia’s Engineering and Manufacturing divisions
would assist with special builds of the engines and bodies
although there wasn’t a lot that could be done to the bodies. As
for the engines, a lot of separate stock and special components
were supplied to the engine plant to be put into the 300
GT-HO Phase III engines required for homologation.
The special-build engines for the factory and factory-
assisted teams were assembled at the manufacturing plant,
so the race teams didn’t get a stock engine in a car and then
have to pull it out, disassemble and rebuild it.
That’s not to say the crew at Lot 6 didn’t add their magic
to boost performance like matching everything perfectly,
polishing certain components – all allowed under tight
racing regulations.
Ford told me the Phase III was built out of necessity as the
regulations at the time didn’t allow components to be simply
transferred from one model to the next for racing, so car
makers had to start with a clean homologation sheet every
time models were changed, as in the case of the XW Falcon to
the XY. But that also gave manufacturers the opportunity to
build a better mousetrap.
According to Ford, in the case of the Phase III that would

roll was the norm
back then. “Al Turner and his team would have looked at what
the Phase II missed out on and what they wanted on
the Phase III and, basically, I think in a lot of ways you
could say the Phase III was really an upgraded Phase II in
the XY body.
“I can’t define what exactly was different about a Phase II
engine and a Phase III engine because we weren’t involved
in specifying those kinds of changes, but my suspicion is the
Phase III and Phase II were probably not a lot different and far
less different than the Phase I to Phase II when we went from
the Windsor to the Cleveland 351 engine and then we stayed
with the Cleveland engine into the Phase III,” added Ford.
Surprisingly Ford nominates white as the most popular
colour when asked. “That is a very interesting question because
this may sound strange but my recollection is of them being
nearly all white. We had one in the Product Planning fleet for
a while and that was a white one. While I don’t know what the
most popular colour is, my gut feeling would be white or red as
two of the most popular colours for them.”
One question that has been around since that May day is
what exactly does HO stand for, as there have been several
explanations.
To dispel the myth David said this, “It really means two
things. It’s a High Output engine but because of image it was
introduced in marketing terms as standing for Handling Option
which we felt would be a more politically correct designation
for it.

The Super Roo concept and design
commenced with the XW GT and ran through
to the Phase III GT-HO and David believes the
original decals were drawn up by one of the
design centre team at Al Turner’s request, who
was pushing the Super Roo concept and having it
on the vehicles.
There was talk at the time that the Phase
III was built as Ford Australia was expecting
something better and faster from Holden, other
than another year of the Torana GTR XU-1 which
was trounced at Bathurst in 1970.
“I don’t think that was a specific ‘driver’ at all,”
said David. “It was rather a case of just doing the
maximum you could so if you’re going to win,
win by as much as you can.”
And winning is what the XY Falcon GT-HO
Phase III has been doing long since it retired
from the market and racetracks in the early
1970s.
A recent sale in excess of one million dollars
proves its iconic crown still shines brightly.

IT’S MY GT-HO
David Frake
I GOT INTO GTs when I was 21, so over
40 years ago. A friend of mine had
bought one, but he’d lost his licence at
the time and still wanted to use the car
– so I ended up driving it. I wasn’t that
interested in cars at the time, until I drove
his.
There was a bit of a story behind buying
it. He asked me to go with him to look at
the car, which he’d found in the Trading
Post. We turn up at this place and it was a
bikie hang-out. We go through the house
to the back yard, and there’s an XT GT
sitting there in among the Harleys and the
dope smoke. That was my intro to GTs!
I just wanted to get out of there. He
asks the bloke, “Does it go?” and the
response is, “Of course it f****** goes!”
And no, my mate couldn’t have a test
drive, but the seller would take us for
a spin. It was a hell ride – my life was
flashing before my eyes. He ended up
buying it and I ended up driving it. I
owned a four-cylinder Cortina at the time
and the GT got me hooked.
I ended up buying another XT GT of
my own and in the first week I got pulled
over four times and got booked twice!
That was a reality check – if you’re driving
around in a red Falcon GT, you’re a target.
I still own it.
Over time, I started working on them
and ended up making a living out of
them. (David is the gent behind GT Ford
Performance in Niddrie, Vic – see falcongt.
com.au)
My Phase III was bought decades ago
by my then business partner as a project
car in pieces. We put it back together and
then sold it. The new owner used to bring
it to us for a service and I mentioned it to
him that, if ever he wanted to sell, to let
me know.
I think we sold it to him (this was a
long time ago) for around $28,000 and
he wanted, a few years later, $35,000. It
seemed a bit rich. I offered him 30k and
we agreed on 32.
It’s had plenty of use. Two years ago
we drove it and a couple of other HOs
around Australia. We went as far north
as the Daintree River, which was flooded,
across to Normanton, Darwin, Perth,
Adelaide and back to Melbourne. It was a
great trip.
One thing about them: if you’re doing
big distances day after day in a lot of cars,
you get sick of it. Not in the GT. You fire
it into life in the morning and think, great,
here we go again!

50 YEARS OF PHASE III
FORD IS NAIVELY SAYING THE BHP IS THE SAME AS A STANDARD GT- 300
AT 5400RPM. IT’S PROBABLY NEARER TO 380BHP
n paper, there’s little
O
difference between
last year’s Falcon
GT-HO and the new
Phase Three HO. The
engineers at Ford’s
Special Vehicles
Division spent their hours
merely making detail changes
to the crankshift, exhaust,
cooling, sump, head gaskets,
brakes and equally subtle
alterations to the suspension.
The refinement job was
good. It is designed to let
the HO rev more easily for
sustained higher speeds, run
smoother, cooler and more
reliably. Which may or may
not be the success story of
Bathurst, ’71.
But entirely regardless, of
what happens on the race
track, this new, sophisticated
64 TradeUniqueCars.com.au
HO turns out to be a far
superior car on the road to its
predecessor.
The engine refinements,
while not producing great
“THIS NEW, SOPHISTICATED
HO TURNS OUT TO BE A
FAR SUPERIOR ROAD CAR”
bags of power over the old
HO, make it smoother, more
flexible and less of a “strain-
at-the-leash” beast.
It is now approaching the
realm of an acceptable town
car and is even more desirable
as the quickest open-roader
Australia can offer.
The changes to the engine
are: greatly improved
extractor exhaust, sump
baffles, bigger 780 cubic feet
per minute, Holley four-barrel
carburettor (750 cfm in the
Phase Two). The head gaskets
are also new, and more
importantly the crankshaft is
now specially toughened and
its damper has been enlarged.
The radiator is bigger and
overall cooling more efficient.
On the road cars, an
electrical cut-out limits
revs to 6150 – the track cars,
properly blue-printed the
balanced should run 7000
without complaint. Ford is
still rather naively saying the
bhp is the same as that of the
standard GT – 300 at 5400
rpm. It is probably nearer 380
bhp.
Another important
development in the Phase
Three is the availability
of close and wide ratio
gearboxes, and three diffs –
3.25, 3.5 and 3.9 to one (the
Bathurst cars will run the 3.25
ratio).
There have been slight
alterations to the front and
rear suspension, the rear

Ford Special Vehicles man
John Gowland says simply:
“There are no big changes –
we’ve just ironed out a lot of
little things, smoothed the
car out.”
We were the first journalists
permitted to drive the Phase
Three. Rather than try to
see how much quicker it is
around a race track, we took it
through peak hour traffic and
on a fast 400-mile run to see
how it rates as a pure race car.
The “smoothing out”
process is obvious. The
engine idles at 900-1000 rpm,
considerably lower than that
of an average Phase Two, and
is nowhere near as lumpy.
Drivers may still blip the
throttle at the lights, but the
only reason for this is to listen
to the magnificent engine
sound.
The Phase Three almost

is optimistic, true rpm is
just over 6000. Note coolant
operating temperature – a
constant 180 degrees.
There is now no great
drama about moving the car
off from the lights. Where the
old HOs needed care and a
slipped clutch to stop them
stalling, the new one asks for
nothing more that everyday
clutch and throttle action.
It is remarkably easy car
“HANDLING IS SUPERB.
TAUT SUSPENSION MEANS
THE CAR SITS VERY FLAT”
to drive considering the
incredible performance that’s
only a throttle push away.
In city traffic, we trundled
the HO up to 2000 rpm,
gearchanges (that’s 16 mph
in first, 24 mph in second and
34 in third) before dropping
into top just under the 35
mph speed limit. It’s here
the Phase Three shows its
better manners – it will crawl
along from 1500 rpm in top,
although, of course, such a
high performance 11 to one
compression engine doesn’t
entirely hide its displeasure.
This sort of low speed
flexibility was non-existent in
top in the older car. It bucked
and shook at 40 or below.
Handling is superb. Taut
suspension means the car
sits very flat. At the limit,
understeer sets in, is broken
by use of power to poke the
tail around into oversteer.
The new smoothness
continues right through
the rev range with the
only thing approaching
a cammy feel at just over
5000 rpm. And then it’s not
nasty, just a greater surge
forward.
Our test HO had the

50 YEARS OF PHASE III
3.25 to one Bathurst diff,
but ran the wide ratios.
The tacho was 500rpm fast,
showing 6700 when the true
rpm had stopped at 6150
because of the limiter.
In top, the HO runs to
its 141mph limit incredibly
easily – for instance, 100
mph to 120 takes only 6.8
seconds and 120-140 8.9 –
and holds it, straining at the
bit for more rpm.
Getting off the line for
performance runs, we
found dropping the clutch
at 2700rpm was critical.
Three grand was too much,
resulting in the wheels
spinning hard for more that
200 yards, and 2500 was not
enough, letting the car bog
down and wasting time.
Even so, the car was much
easier to boot away hard
than we’d expected. There
was just one side twitch, held
easily by a twist of opposite
lock, then it was away with a
magnificent sonic boom to
lay 14.7 quarters (little better
than Phase Two times) but a
68 TradeUniqueCars.com.au
phenomenal 0-100 mph time
of 15.2 seconds.
As a very fast touring
car, the HO is superb. We
found it easier to drive
than a standard GT, mainly
because of its greater
precision, better, tauter
handling and the ultimate in
sensitive power application.
It hangs on incredibly
“UNDERSTANDING AND
RESPECTING THE POWER

in the wet (our test car ran
Dunlop Aquajets at 30psi
all round), and only a fool
booting the power on
hard tight bend on a low
gear would get the rear to
snake. Understanding and
respecting the power is the
name of the game.
The front and rear
spoilers which begin to
exert downward pressure
from 90mph help make
the car inherently stable
at all times. But steering a
little more sensitive at the
straight-ahead would be a
welcome addition.
The steering is lighter
than an ordinary GT, a point
that contributes, along with
the light clutch, gearchange
and light brake pedal, to the
easy-to-drive feeling.
The ride is firmer than
the standard GT, too, but we
preferred it that way for the
assured feeling it imparts. It
is comfortable.
Things we didn’t like
about driving such a fast car
were the lack of a headlight
flasher for the otherwise

washers and wipers.
The fuel bill will also
cause a few headaches –
hard pushed, the car does
a neat 8mpg. With slightly
quieter driving it will give
10.4mpg – don’t expect much
more.
As a fine, ultra-high
performance car that will
be beaten by nothing under
$20,000, the only problem
area we found was the
brakes. While they stop the
car fast and true in normal
circumstances, two hard
stops will have them fading
badly. We brought this up
with Ford and it says the
reason is that the road cars
are running much softer
linings than will be used
at Bathurst because of the
hard linings’ high pedal
pressures. Nonetheless, we
think anyone who buys a HO
(and one dealer at Orange in
NSW has sold four already)
would be well advised to fit
the hard linings.

SIMPLY IRREPRESSIBLE – THE RISE AND
RISE OF GT-HO PHASE III VALUES
WORDS CLIFF CHAMBERS  PHOTOS UNIQUE CARS ARCHIVES
n February of this year, with
I
minimal public recognition or
media hoopla, yet another record
was set by a car that had been
doing just that for very close to
half a century.
A few months earlier and with
considerable fanfare, an HSV Maloo
utility – one of four such vehicles
made – set a new benchmark price
for the sale of a series production
vehicle in Australia.
That title had been held previously
by a GT-HO Phase III Falcon; one of
300 built and with a famous cricketer
among its former owners. Now, or so
it seemed, the mantle had passed to a
new generation and the grumbly old
Fords with their attention-seeking
‘shaker’ would need to stand aside as
models more relevant to younger folk
took up the running.
72 TradeUniqueCars.com.au
EXTRAORDINARY
“Hold my beer”, said the old
Falcon.
On February 16 at the Slattery
auction in Perth, another GT-HO
Phase III faced the auctioneer and an
array of eager bidders. Several tense
minutes later and with a final bid of
$1.15 million, history was rewritten
again. The ‘modern’ had enjoyed its
fleeting moment of glory but the King
of Australian Muscle Cars was now
ready to resume his reign.
Life had not always been rosy,
though, for the car known to millions
as ‘The Hoey’.
The GT-HO Phase III was the third
in a series of four models created to
dominate Australia’s most significant
motor race. However, it was the last
of its kind to compete as a genuine
‘production’ car.
The XA-based Phase IV which
followed in 1972 was spiked due to
political pressure and forced Ford
during that year into campaigning
a car that no longer matched the
models in its showrooms.
Winning the Bathurst 500
production car race, held each
October on the daunting Mount
Panorama circuit, was a crucial
marketing tool. It mattered little that
the car a Ford fanatic drove was a
three-speed, six-cylinder base model
with bench seats and drum brakes
all round. To the owner, it was a race
winner.
People lucky enough to own
actual Phase IIIs sometimes didn’t
have them for very long. It was
often said that theft was a more
common reason for the dwindling
numbers of genuine cars than
crashes on the road or race circuits.

50 YEARS OF PHASE III
“WHEN SURVEYED IN 1982, A TYPICALPHASE III
WOULD HAVE COST SLIGHTLY LESS THAN $16,000”
One very famous stolen HO
– the car depicted in Wheels
magazine’s controversial
‘140mph Down The Hume’
speedo photograph – has
after 50 years reportedly been
found in pieces on a farm in
western NSW.
Given the money that has
been paid in the past for cars
resurrected virtually from
death, it would not surprise to
see this very significant Phase
III stitched back together and
being offered for sale in a year
or two’s time.
74 TradeUniqueCars.com.au
Tracking Phase III values
back to the 1980s isn’t too
difficult thanks to research
predating the appearance
of Making Money From
Collectable Cars, my 1988
guide to the local classic
market. You can thank its
publisher, the redoubtable
Pedr Davis, for that
memorable title.
Back then it certainly
seemed that every sale would
bring a new record price and
each edition of Unique Cars
gained weight as the ranks of
available vehicles swelled.
When surveyed in 1982, a
typical Phase III would have
cost slightly less than $16,000.
Three years later that value
had climbed past $22,000 and
when revisited in 1989 the
average had reached $32,570.
Gazing into the future, your
fearless scribe predicted that
the year of 1992 would see
Phase III buyers needing 70
large to fund a top-line car.
What the crystal ball didn’t
register was an impending
recession, the worst for
several decades, which would
flatten demand and hold the
average to a subdued $53,000.
Values would from there
climb steadily but with no
real intent until 2004-05
when demand surged again.
In the space of three years,
the money being realised
by locally built muscle cars
in general and GT-HOs
in particular would leap
dramatically.
Peak values climbed from
around $180,000 during
the early days of 2005 to
almost $700,000 by late
2006. It was phenomenal but
unsustainable growth that
saw some cars bought and
sold multiple times.
Then in a trice and even
before the Global Financial
Crisis arrived to finish the job,
Australia’s Muscle Car ‘boom’
had gone bust and values
diminished again.
Then, like the superheroes
that its muscular presence
is said to emulate, the Phase
III climbed from the canvas
and came storming back
into contention as one of the
world’s fastest appreciating
investment vehicles.
By 2014 the average amount
being asked for a Phase III had
topped $375,000. Three years
later that figure had reached

Just three years further down the Phase III
timeline, values finally reached the pinnacle
– or so it seemed – of $1 million.
Where Phase IIIs and other high-profile
collector cars will head next is anybody’s to
predict. Ask the people who sell high-end

some steam in the old boiler yet, driven

couple of kays from Ford’s
manufacturing plant. It
housed Ford’s Special
Vehicles operation where
Al Turner, then Howard
Marsden, produced the
most muscular Falcons – the
GT-HO series.
While I had no
involvement with the Phase
I and II GT-HOs (I was
still at GMH during the
Phase I’s gestation), I was
very happy to make minor
contributions here and there
to the “Big Mutha” Phase III
version. Howard Marsden
and his team of specialists
didn’t require much help
from people like me who
supported the launches
of Ford’s bread and butter
models, and I had a lot on
my plate at the time with
future model programs –
the XA/ZF program was
huge with the addition of
hardtops to the range and I
would have been working on
the time-consuming little XY
4x4 ute program as well.
Anyway when Howard
did come knocking it was a
pleasure dealing with him.
For a bloke working under
real pressure with so much
at stake, he was a lovely
fella – always calm, polite
and reasonable. My memory
is that I gave him some
guidance with sourcing
headers, HM Headers I
think, and some aspects of
producing the windage trays.
I enjoyed a few trips in
Howard’s personal Phase
III HO, a development car
– a purple one as I recall
– but sadly, always in the
passenger seat. He was a
lovely fella, but not lovely
enough to flick me the keys
to his heavy-breathing hot
rod.
With the Phase II’s victory
at Bathurst in 1970 behind
us, I wished Howard well
before the team headed
north again in 1971. For
reasons I can’t remember
I couldn’t get to Bathurst
that year, meaning I missed
out on being on the spot
for the Phase III’s stunning
1, 2, 3 result (as well as the
chance to join in the team’s
celebrations). Another
bitter-sweet aspect of
looking back now is realising

L
ike its competitors,
Australia’s most famous
muscle car, the Falcon
GT-HO Phase III, earned
its reverence on the
racetracks of Australia.
Of the three GT-HO phases
it was the XY-based Phase
III that enjoyed the most
distinguished racing career,
starting inauspicously with a
double retirement and ending
with the 1973 Australian
Touring Car Championship.
In between were major and
minor race wins, horrifying
crashes, miraculous escapes
and even a clandestine theft.
Sandown Park September
12, 1971, and the 250-mile
Bathurst curtain raiser was
where the Phase III GT-HO’s
racing life began.
Ford Australia had entered
Allan Moffat and John French

by an armada of privateers in
their Phase III GT-HOs all with
high hopes of victory.
But Colin Bond in his
Holden Torana GTR XU-1
crossed the line first with
Toranas filling six of the top
ten places. Moffat and French
both retired as did most of
the GT-HOs leaving the blue
team from Broadmeadows red
faced. Luckily Murray Carter
saved the day for FoMoCo
finishing second outright.
Three weeks later at
Bathurst any doubts about
the speed of the GT-HO Phase
III were dispelled after the
first practice session when
Moffat lapped the Mount
Panorama circuit a staggering
13.2 seconds faster than the
1970 lap record. The other two
works Falcons of Fred Gibson
and John French were several
seconds behind Moffat and it
was daylight to the rest.
GAME SET AND MATCH.
The 1971 race is remembered
for the GT-HO Phase IIIs
domination taking all three
podium spots with Moffat
easily winning, despite picking
up a beer carton across the
grille. It’s also remembered for
the most horrifying crash of
Bill Brown’s GT-HO Phase III
when a front right tyre blew
at McPhillamy Park. The car
rolled along the top of the
wooden sleeper fence tearing
itself apart and almost killing a
marshal before coming to rest
upside down, its back broken
and roof sliced open behind
Brown's head. Miraculously
Brown survived with nothing
more than a black eye and
concussion. After a visit to
hospital he drove himself
home to Sydney that evening.
Moffat won the final
round of the 1971 Australian

Manufacturers’ Championship
(Manchamp) in a GT-HO
Phase III after winning the
opening round in an XW
Phase II HO.
The Series Production
Touring Car races kicked
off with the South Pacific
Series run in conjunction
with Tasman Cup for open
wheelers, with minor sprint
races and season-long local
titles at circuits around
the country and then from
mid-year the Manchamp long
distance races.
1972 got off to a flying start
for the GT-HO Phase III with
crowd favourite John Goss
capturing the four round
South Pacific Series from
Moffat and Ford sharing two
rounds wins with Chrysler.
In August the Manchamp
series commenced in August
at Adelaide International
Raceway and Holden’s new
82 TradeUniqueCars.com.au
and bigger engined LJ Torana
XU-1 filled the top three spots.
Fred Gibson finished fourth in
the only survivng factory Ford.
Moffat meanwhile destroyed
the 1971 Bathurst winning
GT-HO on one of the concrete
walls lining the track after a
tyre blew.
Next was the Sandown
250 and the Fords were
sporting snazzy-looking mags
produced by Globe Wheels
of South Australia. John Goss
in his factory-assisted blue
McLeod Ford GT-HO took the
honours from Fred Gibson
and Murray Carter, all aboard
GT-HO Phase IIIs, with the
factory Toranas failing to finish
after both blew their engines.
Moffat, driving a GT-HO Phase
III commandeered from a
senior Ford employee then
transformed by Lot 6 into a
race car, failed to finish after a
gearbox failure.
So, on to Bathurst and it was
wet. Very wet.
The 13th running of the
race was the last held over the
original distance of 500 miles
and the last to allow drivers to
drive the race solo.
Moffat snared pole for the
second year, shaving another
three seconds off his pole time
a year ago. Next to him was
John Goss and on the second
row another pair of Phase
IIIs of John French – now a
privateer – and Fred Gibson
in the other works Falcon that
was, according to Bill Tuckey's
book, Australia's Greatest
Motor Race - A Complete
History, the car Bruce McPhee
drove to second place in 1970,
as an XW GT-HO Phase II. On
the third row was Peter Brock
in his XU-1 who had Leo
Geoghegan alongside in the
quickest Charger.
Moffat got the jump on

with an enormous cloud of
spray covering the field. Early
on Bond rolled his Torana at
the top of the hill and then
Bill Brown, driving an XU-1,
inverted his charge at the
top of the mountain in a less
spectacular manner than the
year before. Disaster struck
the Ford team with Gibson
flopping his GT-HO onto its
roof at Skyline and Brock
forced Moffat into a rare error
with the big Ford spearing off
the track, ending hopes of a
Bathurst hat trick. After getting
going Moffat’s day went from
bad to worse that saw him
finish eighth. The best placed
Ford was John French who
finished second.
Peter Brock took the first
of his nine Bathurst crowns
and in an historic day for the
Australian motor industry, it

Moffat and his GT-HO Phase
III won the final two rounds
of the Manchamp at Phillip
Island and Surfers Paradise to
win the series for Ford.
John Goss underlined
the essence of the Series
Production cars after winning
the Bars Leaks 100 race at
Oran Park on a Saturday night,
his brother Paul drove it to
Surfers Paradise where Goss
raced it in the Gold Cosat 300.
Starting last he finished third
and on the Monday Paul drove
it back to Sydney.
CAMS introduced Group
C touring car regulations
for 1973, a combination
of series production and
improved production rules
so the eight-round touring
car championship and
endurance races were fought
out by GT-HOs, XU-1 Toranas,
Chargers et al.
The championship ran
from March to July with Allan
Moffat in his GT-HO winning
the first four rounds with arch
84 TradeUniqueCars.com.au
rival Peter Brock winning the
next encounter.
The sixth round of the
championship was held in
Adelaide and will go down
in motorsport folklore for
the one of the most bizarre
incidents ever. After scoring
pole position for the race
Moffat woke Sunday morning
to the news that his #9 Falcon
had been stolen from Stillwell
Ford where it had been based
overnight.
A joyrider had broken in
and stolen the car and as the
local police searched for the
GT-HO, moves were made
to find Moffat a car and get
him on the track. With the
car nowhere to be found,
Ford veteran Murray Cater
generously handed over his
GT-HO Phase III for Moffat
to drive. An oil company
sponsor clash (Moffat was BP
and Carter Shell), was put to
one side, and Moffat finished
second to Brock.
Moffat's car was discovered
days later with a note left by
the thief along the lines of
BELOW Front
page news.
LEFT Moffat and
Brock at it again.
“My apologies to Allan. Sorry
we inconvenienced you, but
what a beaut car it was. I hope
you go on to beat the Toranas,
Allan. Sorry about the spare
carby but we had to hock it for
the fuel. What a thirsty beast
it was. Signed, The Phantom
Hunter.”
Moffat went on to win the
next round at Oran Park and
made his final appearance
in the GT-HO Phase III at
Sydney’s Warwick Farm track
which was to close after this
meeting. Moffat was an early
retirement but had enough
points to win his first of
four Australian Touring Car
Championships, something he
would have loved to have done
in his TransAm Mustang.
In a fitting tribute that
final last Moffat car is now
a highlight of the Bowden
collection. It still wears its
scrutineering sticker from that
final Warwick Farm meeting.
The Ford Falcon GT-HO
Phase III was a remarkably
successful touring car and
its winning ways on the
racetracks of Australia led to its
passionate following over the
past 50 years.

ver since the Peugeot 205 GTI shot onto

E
the already popular hot hatch scene in
the 1980s, the big three from France –
Peugoet, Citreon and especially Renault
– have been churning out some of the
best bang-for-buck fun you can have on
four wheels.
One of the best examples of that is readily
available here in Australia and found in the
classifieds is the sporty versions of the early-

“THE 172 AND 182

NAMES DENOTE FROM
THE POWER OUTPUT”
to-mid-2000s Renault Clio II, specifically the
Renault Sport 172 and 182.
The 172 and 182 names denote from the
power output from the 2.0-litre aspirated
four-pot exclusive to the RS models, the
182 being the rarer and more sought after
variant. All were backed up by five-speed
manual gearboxes, and tipped the scales
just nudging over 1000kg in their three-door
hatch layout. That, combined with a dialed-in
chassis package, disc brakes all around and a
minimum of 172hp made these little baguettes

a seriously fun piece of kit.
The first taste we Australians got of the Clio RS was the
pre-facelift Phase I 172, with just 85 examples allocated to
us in 2001. Thankfully, later that same year we were graced
with an unlimited run of the much less ugly (in my view)
Phase II 172, featuring an updated front end, interior,
shorter final drive and a new intake.
Both the normal Clio II and the sporty RS 172 stayed
unchanged in dealers for several years, before the slightly
beefed up 182 variants of the RS Clio hit Australia in 2004.
The first was the 182, which featured minor stylistic changes
and a new central twin-exit exhaust system with 4-2-1
headers and a highflow cat converter to bump the power up
by 10hp over the previous 172.
The crème de la crème of the Renault Sport Clio II is the
182 Cup. It was lower than a normal 182 by 10mm, had a
quicker steering ratio and wider front track, stiffer dampers
to go with the lower springs and 16-inch eight-spoke wheels
all painted grey.
There was the even hotter Trophy version of the 182, but
sadly we missed out on that here and low market value
means barely any RS II Clio’s have been bought in through
the grey market.
The RS II Clio seems to (at least for now) be immune to

“VALUES HAVE
STAGNATED WITH PRICES

the recent jump in classic car prices, with values having
stagnated while equivalent first-gen Honda Civic Type R’s
shot through the roof. 172 variants are the most common
and prices reflect that, starting at around $3000 for a
semi-decent example, edging up to $6000 for real stunners.
The rarer and up-spec’d 182 and 182 Cup command a
minimum of $8000 buy-in for a worthy specimen, but you
shouldn’t need more than $12,000 in the kitty for a decent
one.

s the GT-HO Phase III

I
really five decades old?
When the hell did that
happen? Mind you, that
probably says more about
me than the Phase III.
Sorry, Mighty Phase III. See,
that’s the thing; the Phase
III is – and always was, for
that matter – a dead-set,
card-carrying, bona-fide
legend. Thing with that is,
sometimes the legends we love
to create aren’t always rooted
in fact.
There have been times
when reality falls short of the
legend. Lots of times. Two
burly horses being whipped
along in opposite directions,
for instance, will in fact tear a
pair of Levis jeans to bits. Dolly
Parton, regardless of what
you’ve heard (or calculated
thanks to freeze-frame
technology) cannot hold her
breath for two hours.
So where does that leave

100 TradeUniqueCars.com.au

the Phase – dammit, Mighty –
Phase III?
Well, unlike the vast
majority of other Aussie
cars that have now achieved
legend status in the last few
years – many of them for no
other reason than local car
production went paff about
four years ago – the Phase
III was, as far back as I can
remember, talked about
reverentially. I can remember
working on magazines when
the Phase III was still too
young to vote, yet it was
nevertheless already being
hailed as a modern classic and,
perhaps, the greatest Aussie
four-door ever. Maybe the
greatest Aussie car ever. Yeah,
definitely. No rose-coloured
Ray Bans here.
Where some cars need a bit
of nostalgia to kick-start their
collectability, the Phase III had
no such requirement. Unlike a
lot of cars we now fall over to
look at in the street, the Ford
never got to the stage where
it was worth nothing; it was
always a show-stopper. Always
admired. Always respected.
Neither can you ignore
the hard facts. The GT-HO
Phase III was a hard-core
performance sedan that
“IT WAS ALWAYS A
SHOW-STOPPER, ALWAYS
ADMIRED, ALWAYS RESPECTED”
was so Australian, it would
automatically brake for koalas.
It was among the very fastest
four-doors produced anywhere
in the world, and, whichever

with a loopy camshaft, big

mainly, this car was a Bathurst
winner at a time when that
was a meaningful claim. Not
only that, but it was destined
to become the last of the real
hard-man Falcon GTs with
Ford dropping the HO option
for the XA model (but that’s
another story altogether).
Okay, so maybe some of that
stuff was a coincidence, but it
all really did happen. Unlike
Dolly’s double-D scuba tanks.

speak for an E38, because I’ve
never had the pleasure, but
I have had the rare privilege
to sample both a HK GTS
327 Munna and no less than
two – count ’em – Phase IIIs.
And, at the distinct risk of
upsetting a whole bunch of
Holden nutters (and I’m one of
them) there’s just no contest.
Where the Holden felt clumsy
and fairly sketchy at speed
with loose steering and loads
of body roll, the Phase III was
a different story altogether.
And yes, I know that an HG
GTS 350 is a closer match to a
Phase III, but I can only go on
what I know.
In any case, I reckon that

make the modern water-based
two-pack True Blue look like
the old-school enamel the car
would originally have been
painted in. And even though
the road was wet and this
was back in the day when a
good Phase III was nudging a
million clams, the owner was
still willing to hand over the
helm to turn yours truly into a
true believer. Bless him.
My second HO sample-bag
came in the form of an
unrestored example which
was so original, the majority
of its Ultra White paint was
still the stuff they blew on
at Broadmeadows in 1971.
The car had been driven, no
doubt about that, but it had
also been respected along
the way, so while it had never
been out of circulation, it was
still minty inside and out.
And, for a glorious couple of
hours between Sydney and

Goulburn, it was all mine.
Now, a run down the
Hume mightn’t sound like the
most epic adventure to have
in a Phase III, but let’s not
forget that the most famous
magazine story surrounding
the GT-HO– and one that
helped establish that legend
– did, indeed, deal with just
such a journey (read about it
elsewhere in this issue). And
let us also not forget that even
in the day, the road-going
Phase III was a muscle car,
not a sporty little thing to be
thrashed around a go-kart
track.
Also, unleashing the big
fella on a nice piece of hotmix
showed up precisely why it was
such a big deal in the day. The
ride is surprisingly good (after
that GTS Monaro, anyway)
and while the steering has a
pretty lazy ratio, it’s not too far
from where it should be given
the rest of the specification.
My biggest gripe would be the
gearing which saw the Clevo’s
tacho needle nudging 3000rpm
for most of the time (and, no,
we weren’t in any danger of
going to prison that day). With
a different set of diff gears
“UNLEASHING THE BIG FELLA
ON A PIECE OF HOTMIX SHOWED
WHY IT WAS SUCH A BIG DEAL”
or – dare I say it – a five-speed
box with a proper overdrive,
the Phase III would have been
even closer to perfection.
(And, as values start to head
for seven figures again, the
idea of a HO replica with that
very gearbox makes even more
sense to this bloke.)
But that engine! It might
be cammy enough to need
a vacuum tank to power the
brakes and it might be a fuel
guzzler, but in 1971, that 351
must have been a force of
nature. Even today, when a
hot hatch can easily have 250
horsepower or more, it’s vanilla
idle and Dyson soundtrack
will never match the Cleveland

I guess, the GT-HO has about
the ballsiest overtaking chops
in the game.

III is a legend and a deserving
one. The real tragedy is that
nobody these days is likely to
be as lucky as I was back then
and be thrown the keys to a
HO. As collector-car values
continue to head north at a
rate we couldn’t have imagined
just a few years ago, the
scarcity and value of a car that
is already on the endangered
list means that most Phase
IIIs are destined for an early
shower, rather than playing the
full 80 minutes.
So, back to old Dolly Parton
videos, then.
On a completely different
topic: Dodge Warlock. Heard
of it? It was a limited run of
Dodge utes sold in the USA
in the 1970s, alongside the
rather more well-known L’il
Red Express range of factory
customs. Since so few were
made, and almost none were
exported, it’s pretty rare to see

BRAKE TECH
got a bunch of promo stuff from Repco the other

I
day, talking about their Radial Chamfer
Technology for brake pads. Hot new stuff,
eh? Well, not exactly.
The idea is the leading and trailing
edges of your disc pads are chamfered a
little, which can help to reduce brake
squeal. Well, they must have been
talking to a 60-year-old mechanic,
because people like me in the trade
were doing this decades ago. Which
isn’t to say it’s a bad idea, as it does
work.
Back in the day when discs first becamse
widely-used, the pad technology was way behind
where it needed to be. The compounds really needed
work to fine-tune the compromise between longevity
and grip. Believe it or not we had similar problems
with drums over the years.
This might sound familiar: a cheap component
in this area will often deliver bad results. Given
the minimal cost premium, I’m keen to use known
reliable brands in a brake set.
If you’re doing disc pads at home, everyone carries
on about having a perfect surface on a disc rotor, but
truly it’s not that important. The odd groove is nothing
to stress over. If they’re shiny and looking a little
glazed, hit it with a bit of emery.
While you’re in there, clean out the calipers.
And yes, the chamfered pad designs do work. You
hear all sorts of alternative theories on elimninating
squeal, such as using a tiny amount copper grease
behind the pad, but I’m not a fan of that. It doesn’t
work, and nor does the alternative theory of using a bit
of silicone.
Since we’re on the topic of brakes, let’s talk about
doing a simple fluid change to celebrate the coming
of warmer weather. It’s not actually a huge job, and
brake fluid does absorb water which eventually causes
trouble.
So, the simple meathod is pop the top off your
master cylinder, and remove as much of the old fluid
as you can (a couple of throw-away rags will do), then top
it up with fresh stuff.
Place a hose and catch bottle on the bleed point
furthest away from the master, open the bleed nipple
and have a cup of tea. Gravity and atmospheric pressure
will do the rest.
It will take a while, and make sure you don’t allow the
fluid in the master reservoir to run out. Stop when you
start to see fresh fluid coming through.
Then you repeat for the remaining wheels. Simple!
There’s no need to pump pedals, or bleed the system, so
long as you keep an eye on it.
Generally, for older vehicles you now use DOT4 fluid.
Don’t be tempted to try DOT5 as it’s not compatible with
the earlier fluids.
You can switch an old system to the later synthetic
fluid, but you will need to change all the seals. Really,
DOT4 is fine and I’d be happy to leave it a few years
between changes. Five tops.
If you want to keep an eye on the quality of the fluid,
you can do that by getting a cheap fluid meter from your
nearest Bursons or Repco or similar, and that will tell
you how good or bad the water contamination is.
Last tip, place some damp rags under the master
cylinder, to catch any unintentional spills. If you do
spill some on paint, use heaps of water to wash it off and
throw away any clean-up rags.

We actually tackled
the engine rebuild before
we committed to a full
restoration. It’s a standard
308 – I was happy to have
it as a cruiser – with a
Holley 570 carburettor. I
was warned a bigger carb
would ‘drown’ a stock 308,
while a 570 would provide a
good throttle response. That
proved to be right. It’s also
running extractors and it has
a bit of a note.
Cooling is always an issue
with these older cars, so the
radiator is bigger than stock,
with an extra core, and is

to how they were set up back
then. Despite that, it drives
well. It’s a lovely cruiser and
just sits on the road.
At one stage tonners were
at the bottom of the food
chain, but now you can see
there’s a lot of interest in
them. I remember one guy
saying to me a long time ago,
“I don’t rate one-tonners
because they’re only half a
car.” I thought fair point, but
it’s done alright over time.
There was a time where I
thought it was worth next to
nothing, but I recently took it
to get valued for insurance at
Shannons. He asked what I’d
spent on it and I said about
20, thinking I might have
gone a bit too far, but he said
it was worth around double
that! That was pleasing.

 a BBQ, you were often met
with spirited discussion
and often physical threats.
Being a ginger, I’m already
well-versed at dealing
with both spirited debates
and physical threats on a
somewhat regular basis -
so why not own a car that
evokes the same response?
Thank goodness we live in
much more accepting times
now, of both the Wankel
engine and gingers!
I grew up in a
ridiculous rev range, the
noise at 9000 rpm, flames
out the exhaust a completely
visceral experience.
Over the years my friends
and I owned a smattering
of different rotary powered
Mazdas, from standard 12a
and 13b engines, to big port
jobs and turbos. They all
had their good points and
bad, however the one thing
that was evident across all of
them was that Mazda knows
how to put a car together.

"THE NOISE AT 9000RPM,

MY LOVE affair with
rotaries started back when
I was 14 years old, riding
shotgun in my brothers
Commodore there was a
small white sedan driving
alongside us in traffic
making all sorts of wild
noises, it was loud and
obnoxious, I turned to my
brother and said “what is
that!?” He said, “That’s a
rotary mate.” He couldn’t
tell me much more about
them, other than they were
loud, fast and rev like crazy.
I was intrigued and needed
to know more about them.
I headed straight to the
newsagents and found a
whole magazine devoted
to these wild Japanese
machines and I proceeded
to read it cover to cover
again and again, until I got

Ever since Mazda
embraced the Wankel
engine in the early
60s, they have been
a pure enthusiast car
and somewhat of an
outlier in the automotive
community. I’ve always
had a soft spot for the
underdogs and found
Mazda’s completely
unconventional take on
the internal combustion
engine fascinating.
The sounds of the
heavily-ported rotaries
are like nothing else you’ll
hear and back n the early
90s, if you announced

increasing rise in prices,

of getting priced out of the

itch, and it needed to be
scratched for some time.
I have huge fondness for
the iconic first gen RX-7s

to car shows, Sunday drives
and the occasional spirited

CHOOSING A CAR
The majority of early model
Mazda rotaries were out
of the question, the R100s,
RX-2s and RX-3s are all on
the small size for a man of
my height and it honestly
feels like they are even
smaller than I remember. Or
maybe I’ve just experienced
another growth spurt in
my early 40s. With all this
in mind I decided an RX-4
would be the ideal family
cruiser, slightly larger than
the rest of the line-up and
still chrome bumper. The
RX-4 coupes are super

cool and remind me of a
miniature Charger, but
believing I will pick up
a point or two for Father
of Year for the fact I have
considered the comfort
of the family, a sedan is a
much more practical choice,
plus significantly more
affordable.
Mazda released the
RX-4 in 1973 through to
1979, it came initially with
a 12a rotary engine then
updated with a slightly
larger capacity 13b. There
were three series of the RX-4
released with variations in
front and rear taillights and
grills. The ‘pointy nose’ front
end are the most coveted by
far, but the aptly nick named
‘Mercedes’ front end have
gained popularity over the
years and are equally cool in
my opinion.
Mazda also released
a piston powered 929
almost parallel to the RX-4,
identical in many ways,
sharing all but the engine,
drive line and minor interior
and exterior changes. The
majority of RX-4 parts are
interchangeable and it has
been popular for many years
in the rotary enthusiast
community to pick up a 929
at a significantly cheaper
price than a genuine
RX-4, pull out the ever so
humble piston motor, make
some reasonably ‘minor’
modifications and slap in a
smile-inducing, neighbour-
annoying 12a or 13b rotary
engine. Minor modifications
include a new cross member,
engine mounts, gear box,
tail shaft, diff, radiator, oil
cooler and exhaust, plus the
engine and its ancillaries.
As much as I would love
to buy a turnkey RX-4 or
already converted 929, I
want to build something
myself, with the help of
friends and plant the seeds
of enthusiasm for these
beasts with the kids. Plus,
it is always easier to get
smaller purchases past my
extremely understanding
wife than drop a whole

self-proclaimed family toy in
one big go.
THE FIND
Early last year, pre the
COVID pricing we are seeing
now, I was watching the
RX-4/929 market obsessively
The Scotsman in me was
determined to pick up
something around the $5k
mark. it did seem a little
unrealistic at first. But every
month or two one would
pop up and would be gone
by the time I contacted the
seller. I spent way too much
time going over the photos
online trying to work out if
they were a good buy or not.
It was obvious they were a
good buy and other buyers
were not mucking around.
I decided it was time to put
my big boy pants on and just
make a move.
I reached out to the
online Rotary community
and stated I was after a 929,
sedan, runner or non-runner
fine, complete interior
not too rusty. Behold my
request was answered rather
quickly. A young bloke had

for. I put $100 bucks down
straight away and I told him
I would be there the next
day to pick it up (provided
it ticked all the boxes). If I
didn’t show, I told him he
could keep the $100 bucks.
In this instance – fortune
favours the bold!
Upon inspecting the Mazda,
it ticked a lot of boxes. It
had all of its chrome (which
can be a pain to piece
"THE SCOTSMAN IN ME

UP SOMETHING AROUND $5K"
together), all the electrics
worked including the boot
light, complete interior
with minor tearing in the
seats, the door cards were
immaculate and the carpet
is complete bar one square
under the driver feet.
Body wise there was
some rust, but it looks to
be just surface except for
the bottom of two doors.
Most panels are somewhat
straight except the left front
quarter panel has taken a
hit, but most importantly
it was not too far off being
roadworthy.
When I picked up the
car I brought a mate who
happens to work for Aces
Garage – a restoration and
panel shop at the Sunshine
Coast. Meeet Jason, a
Holden and hot-rod man
who knows nothing about
Mazdas let alone rotaries,
but he was almost as excited
as I was with the car and
has been a great sounding
board to bounce ideas off on
what to do first, having just
completed his own build on
HQ one-tonner.
Having a somewhat
reasonable mate to bounce
ideas off when planning
and building a car is a must
and Jason’s enthusiasm on
how easy the body work
would be helped placate any
looming buyer’s remorse
I think we all have when
spending hard earned
money on barely running
slightly rusty old cars. That
is definitely something I
love about the car enthusiast
community that has
changed over the years, even
if it’s not someone else’s
passion others can see the
reason why you might like
a particular vehicle and
they are encouraging and
enthusiastic about your
project and the journey
you’re on. Just stay away
from reading social media
comments and you’ll keep
believing that.
PLANS CHANGE
From the beginning I have
not been worried if I got a
runner or not as my plan has
always been to pull out the
piston motor and replace
it with a rotary. Yet with a
fresh battery in it, the 929
runs, which makes it much
easier to transport, even
if the maiden voyage was
20m on to a car trailer. A
few of my mates have been
adamant from day one that
I should keep the piston
motor in it right up until
TradeUniqueCars.com.au 125

everything is ready for the
engine transplant. To me
this isn’t what I want to do.
I want to pull the motor
out straight away, so I feel
like the project has begun.
It does make some sense
to keep the running motor
in there for a few reasons;
one being it makes it easier
to take it to and from
workshops under its own
steam, meaning no need for
tow trucks.
But the most important
issue was something Glenn
Torrens has covered a couple
of times. You can take the
kids for a drive. It doesn’t
sound like much, but being
able to get your kids engaged
in something that’s not just
a dusty old inanimate object
in the garage Dad loves, but
something they can go for
drive in. It is magic to watch
them looking with curiosity

and even window
winders that seem
like a million years away
from what they’re used to.
The idea of getting it
roadworthy and running
on the road with the piston
motor still in it was further
cemented when I got it
home and my three- and
six-year-olds went crazy
over it. They opened and
closed everything they
could find and had all sorts
of questions. Growing up
with these types of cars I
think it can be easy to forget
how foreign they can be
for youngsters. Window
winders, chokes, analogue
clocks in the dash and
push button AM/FM radios
are meet with all sorts of
curiosity. They have seen
all the fancy and shiny cars
at car shows, but for them,
this is one they can climb in
play with all the buttons and
pretend to drive. Take them
for an actual lap around
the suburb and you’d think
Santa had come early, even
after a few stalls and quick
fixes to keep it going. My
kids will jump in the car as
soon as I open the door and
play in it for ages. Who needs
Netflix? Now I’m not saying
buying a classic car will
make you father of the year,
but it should at least set you
up as a finalist.
ALONG FOR THE RIDE
Owning a classic car not
only scratches an itch for
me and it is a great family
interest, but it gets you in
the club, you feel part of the
car community if you’ve got
one. It’s evident now that the
car community is accepting
of all makes and models...
you only have to rock up to
one of your local cars and
coffee meet ups to see a long
line of old and new, chrome
and plastic bumper, Euro,
US, Aussie and JDM, you
name it.
Over the next few months,
most likely much longer, I’ll
be covering off the ins and
outs of repairing, updating,
converting and maintaining
my passion project, from
mild mannered piston 929
to a raucous rotary powered
machine. My plan is to keep
it fairly original-looking
but I will also be throwing
around the term “period
correct” a lot during the
build to get away with all the
typical modifications rotary
enthusiasts are notorious
for.
As it sits, the brakes are
shot, and there is enough
patchy paint and surface
rust to raise an eyebrow
with the local constabulary.
Brakes are clearly an
integral part of any driving
experience and there is an
inherent lack of any safety
mechanisms or driving
aids, as you’d expect from
any vehicle of this era. First
cab off the rank is a brake
upgrade.
I definitely do not claim to
be a rotary expert and I’m
sure I’ll make a few mistakes
along the way, but I’ve joined
my local rotary club (not the
volunteer group) and have
already found some great
support and knowledge.

wrong?

WORDS & PHOTOS  GLENN TORRENS
AS I WRITE THIS, one year
ago this 1979 VB Commodore
V8 sedan had its butt on bricks
in a paddock near Armidale
in northern NSW where it had
sat for 20 years. I was wrestling
a rear axle under it so I could
winch it onto a trailer.
Then I had a beer (or five!)
and a Chinese feed with my
mate Paul Cundy, from whom

WHAT DO YOU RECKON?
GLENN TORRENS LOVES LISTS… BUT HAS JUST SCROLLED
THROUGH ONE HE HOPED HE’D NEVER SEE
IN MY KITCHEN, I keep
a note pad and pen for my
shopping list. Often, in my
diary I’ll write a list for work
and I usually work from a
list to restore or resurrect
whatever car is in my garage.
So, as much as I love lists,
it was with mixed emotions
that I saw a list drafted by
NSW Road and Maritime
Services (RMS – my home
state’s vehicle registration
authority) that outlined
what is, and isn’t, acceptable
as ‘modifications’ and
‘accessories’ for older cars
using the H- and M-plate
registration schemes.
As I’ve written here before,
there is no doubt our ‘classic’
H- and M- number-plate
schemes are terrific: They
have allowed the keenest
(worst?!) of us to enjoy more
beaut old cars. It’s encouraged
a fresh bunch of enthusiasts
to get in on the action, too,
and has caused more cars to
survive.
How? In the old days, a
typical H-plated car – often
a fastidiously maintained
and expensive racing
thoroughbred – was trotted
out only to a car club event.
Few people would be
bothered with that for a 1980s
family four-door worth maybe
$3-5000. But these days,
without the traditional tethers
of only being able to attend
a car show or club run, more

– and many – ordinary cars
from decades past are being
enjoyed more often.
Parents are driving kids to
school or the beach in classics.
More P-platers are cruising
classics. And long-term car
nuts (like me!) are livin’ the
dream by owning two or three
(or more – like me!) classics
instead of just the one shed-
dwelling, special-occasions-
only, investment-grade GT/
GTS-type classic of a decade
ago.
So, back to the list:
Unfortunately, the NSW
RMS-produced draft list exists
because some ‘enthusiasts’
have rorted the H- and
M-plate scheme. That’s why
the gov’ment has had to step-
in with a list, using words
and sentences that even a
six-year-old can cope with, to
close the loopholes; to remove
the opportunity for bending
the rules.
Sure, to most car
enthusiasts, much of the list’s
mentions – such as references
to replacement wheels – are
so obvious as to be dumb. To
me, the term ‘standard’ in
the context of a car is pretty
easy to understand: It means
no crazy tricks or tweaks; the
important bits, built into the
car when it was new, remain.
‘Era correct accessories’?
Yeah, similar deal: available
when the car was new…or
around-about. I’m sure most
car enthusiasts would accept
fitting a CD player – as did
many owners of cars in the
1990s and noughties - or a
present-tech Bluetooth sound
system but would frown at a
set of 20-inch full-bling alloy
wheels or a supercharger
being considered ‘standard’.
But to other people – such
as a Victorian bloke on a
FB page a while ago – an
older car with the inner rear
wheel arches widened to
the chassis rails, a narrowed
heavy-duty Ford rear axle,
a later-model all-alloy GM
LS V8 up front, a comp-type
plastic fuel tank in the boot
and a six-point protection
cage is ‘standard’ and hence
eligible for H-plates. (And get
this: because I commented
that maybe his car should be
considered ‘modified’, his
PHOTO
response was: ‘You don’t know
what you’re talking about.’
True story!)
Sure, our Mint-Bro VL
Commodore-modifying
Facebook mate was in another
state – so his actions couldn’t
directly affect me – but there’s
little doubt rorting attitudes
such as his have led to NSW’s
Big Brother stepping-in for a
closer look at our classic cars.
As a long-term car nut, it’s
frustrating that – as in other
areas of life – the actions of a
minority can wreck things for
everyone else.
Hopefully, the RMS’s
creation of a list of acceptable
modifications, upgrades and
accessories – that the smart-
arses won’t be able to argue
with – will help ensure the
future of our terrific classic
car scene.

IN THE SHED WITH

GETTING CRANKY
I HAVE ONLY CRANK STARTED A FEW CARS A FEW TIMES.
I CLAIM QUALITY – NOT QUANTITY

THE OWNER of a Bugatti

T35 years ago invited me
to indulge in a joy ride. His
invitation came with a simple
caveat. If I could start the car,
I could drive it. I was given
precise instructions as well
as a medical caution. Get the
sequence and action wrong,
you could either dislocate your
thumb, crack a kneecap or
maybe permanently damage a
shoulder. It was a fair warning
– some minor maiming
seemed like a reasonable
trade. After all, how often do
you get to pilot something as
exotic and historic as a Bugatti,
let alone a T35?
The task turned out to
be less challenging than
anticipated, and with only a
few bucking bronco moments,
we were soon hooning around
the hills, elbows out and
ears stinging. I remember
the exhilaration from being
behind the wheel of one of the
most iconic cars ever created,
my thrill matched only by the
terror that I would somehow
hurt it. My mind flirted with
images of twisted Bugatti
wrapped around a light-pole
and matching headlines
“Idiot writes off $1m car on
joy ride”. Thankfully, none of
my premonitions came to
fruition and by the end of the
afternoon, Bug packed away
safely in its cave, I wandered
off head still spinning from
the thrill.
It seems somewhat
sacrilegious to even mention
 RIGHT Smaller

my 10hp 1926 Citroen in the
same breath, since the Bugatti
and Citroen represented
opposite ends of the French
car market back in their day
around one hundred years
ago. The Bug was a rich man’s
toy while the Citroen was one
of the first mass produced
consumer cars. The crank
handle might be about the
only technology they have in
common.
I mention the Bugatti
because I am trying to fix the
crank handle on my Citroen,
and I have only the Bugatti
to compare it to. The Citroen
and Bugatti mechanisms are
identical – at one end a simple
cotter pin holds the crank-
handle on and at the other
end it has a loose sleeve over a
press-fitted shaft. My car came
with a crank handle but it is
fatally corroded, and so far,
a global search has failed to
turn up a replacement. As it is
a fairly simple piece, I decided
to repair instead of replace.
The original piece still
worked as a crank handle
should, but the loose
aluminium sleeve on the
steel shaft was no longer
loose, and sported an ugly
crack like a duelling scar.
Nearly one hundred years
of gradual corrosion of the
aluminium has left it oxidised
and stuck solid and fast to the
steel around which it ought
freely spin. The cast iron
connecting rod on which it
sits is in perfect condition, so
“IDIOT WRITES OFF $1 MILLION
CAR ON A JOYRIDE”
I drilled out the steel shaft and
sacrificed it and the corroded
aluminium sleeve.
In my boxes of spare parts,
I found a Citroen 5CV crank
handle. It is a slightly smaller
and slimmer version of mine
and not able to be adapted.
The mounting hole is much
smaller and there is not
enough surrounding metal
to safely drill it out to fit. If I
make the hole big enough,
the surrounding metal will
be so weakened as to invite
a collapse. But it is in perfect
condition and ideal as a
pattern.
First task was to wander
across to my very basic lathe,
and using my very basic
turning skills to turn down a
fat useless old steel bolt to the
right size to make a new shaft,
with a small step of 1mm
between the mounting hole
and the handle which ought to
be enough to ensure no slop
once it is pressed into place
against the lip.
The next task will be to
sculpt the aluminium sleeve,
which has a somewhat svelte
profile, and will require the
light touch of an artisan to
achieve. Since no artisans
are available, I will do my
impersonation of one and see
how I go. Once the sleeve is
shaped and polished, drilling
out the core will be easy and
then I will make a retaining
plate from an old washer that
will sit on the end to hold
the sleeve on the shaft into
perpetuity.
Meanwhile, I have
discovered that the clutch
on the recently re-installed
gearbox has no spring.
Pushing down on the pedal
actuates two forks that push
on a collar to send the clutch
into action, but there is no
resistance from within the
flywheel, and the pedal does
not return. So now the gearbox
has to come off and the
non-clutching clutch requires
interrogation. Assuming
the springs are either stuck,
rusted, jammed or some
similar obvious explanation,
it all ought to be sorted soon,
which will then enable the
prop shaft and rubber donut
coupling to be connected
to the diff, which once the
rod brakes are connected,
that brings the running gear
restoration to an end. And
then the body work begins.
Simple.

Regarding the sale of a Mk 2

DOHC 6 it started on rainy

is quite aerodynamic and the
front wheels will lift at 165mph

what aerodynamic means.
Thankfully not everyone
shoves opinion at us: Here a
politely put question – “Has

I changed mine to the ‘long’

the ride being smoother but
it doesn’t rev as quick as the
stock (short) oil filter. Can
anyone shed some light on this

one on notice?
Now just as the Pythons
said: “Nobody expects the

expected this comment: “In

here we are 80 years later and
everyone’s walking around
with their head up their arse.
This car reminds me of simpler
days when the world was a
nice place to spend time.” Yes,
of course.
Finally I’ll take a poke at
ranters who deliver harsh
online commentary like
old-school, hellfire preachers,
passing judgement on all
they see, allowing not one jot

automotive or social detail

USA.
Back here, they just
didn’t take off – hence the
low build number. That’s a
shame, as it’s a good car to
drive. I’ve taken it to shows,
covering a few hundred
kilometres for each trip, and
it’s a good thing to travel in.
It’s a really nice addition to
the shed.
