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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ford finally got it right when they built the Cobra.  :D
