Nice cars those LC's !......... the car in the museum is an LJ and is the car which was raced until recently in Group C .
The Sports Sedan is still around but doesn't have the repco 4.4 ltr fitted anymore , as i understand it was fitted with an F5000 chev by Frank Gardner in around about '74.
The owner has the exhaust for the repco and i am fairly certain Bob still has the Engine.

One of the earlier issues of AMCS has a full story on it, from it's arrival at John Sheppard's workshop, through to it's (then) current owner. Can't remember the issue number, but it may even be in the first 10.
