Even AMC makes mistakes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Issue 15 Page 118 AUSTRALIAN MUSCLE CAR magazine ( By The Numbers )

H289651 - H291062 85 examples
L251090 - L252674 66 examples ( 85 + 66 = 151 )

I once wrote to AMC asking them for help in tracking down the pink things history but just got fogged off. A mate who owns the geissler L34 wrote to them once to asking for help in tracking down its history and only got fogged off to. YES, im a little angry at them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But hey they still produce one of the finest magazines in the world ( Even though they do make a few little mistakes from time to time ) and the Australian Muscle Car Nationals is the greatest show on the face of this planet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tuesday 29-8-72 CAMS gives the go ahead. For the production of the 1972 Bathurst LJ GTR XU-1. ( Fiv book, page 191 )

Fly again,

I think you might be misinterpreting what this line means, Cams was acknowledging on the 29th of August 1972 the fact that GMH had submitted the paperwork to tell them that the production run of Bathurst XU 1s had begun. It doesn't mean that the 29th was the day that GMH started the Bathurst run.

Also bear in mind that the Bathurst cars needed to be homologated by mid September to be eligible to enter the Sandown enduro which is the traditional lead up to Bathurst.

CK1971.

Im sure you meant the start of the Man Champ series which started on Sunday
27-8-1972.

Amendment 1/1V 1/7/1972 - Final drive. Variation in supplier. May be either
" Borg Warner Limited slip " or " Detroit No Spin "

Im sure the first batch ( 200 ) July, August, 1972 were also going to become the XU-2,s with the second batch begining September 1972. These 'specials within a special' were sold as ordinary XU-1,s.

I recon we can add about an extra 250,000G George !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FLY_AGAIN_XU-1]

Bear with me Fly...It's all new to me. So the homologation 72 Xu1's which carry the title Bathurst Specials did in fact have the option of either of the 3 diff ratios and depending on what option you took they are entitled to carry the mantle of Bathurst XU1's.

Maybe even the title XU-2 !
