thanks for posting these rory, the first one is the ad. michael tate found in an '83 auto action, the second is of the car at adelaide int. raceway in 1985, the third is malalla 2005.
the previous owners son had run a 1 min.18.7 sec. lap so i have a time to try and match !
the rebel wheels are the same ones that were put on when the larger flares were attached, around '79 or '80.....the third or front flutes are still there and visible under the front flares.
except for the bonnet and boot which are 'glass, the rest of the panels are still the originals from sandown '70 !, plenty of damage and bog over the journey but !
the nose was changed for janson's ownership as part of the reqirement to update to the current spec cars.(some things dont change eh!)
there are plenty of pics in the old mags which show both BJD-440 and BOI-812(KRK-720) competing during 'late '71 and all '72.
BOI-812 was introduced in round 6 of the '71 arc as the bond/ shep. car which is why it is the car photographed as the champ. winner for '71. BJD had been used for the first 5 rounds to put bond/shep into an unbeatable position and the new car was introduced with some improvements. cheers laz

rorym

Willo you are SSSOOO Australian!..Luv ya!

AND along with willo, I'm glad there are still some blokes and sheilas that do talk Australian and not have all of those Americanisms.

Top car sagman, great to see that these gems are not lost to a wreckers crusher, backyard hacker or simply just locked up in a garage for no one to see.

Don't those girls look great Top sheilas
Do any of these look familiar



This scan was taken out of an article that was in MAN magazine from January 1973 which featured Brock & Bond.
Now mind you, I only got this magazine for this article and definitely not for all of the pics of those lovely semi-naked beauties

BUT some ol' graffiti artist got hold of my piece of Torana/Brock/Bond memorabilia and put his moniker on it



He also graffitied the glove-box of my SS Hatch

That's what I meant!!!
Uncover the lot and clear over it.
Preserve it's heritage (and different too )

[lcgtr1970]

it looks like play-doh all mashed together!

Sue drove with Christine in the 73 ,but not a Torana (an Alfa) .And the 1970 the girls drove the Linamint, Colin Bond drove the yellow by himself. In 71 Brockie also drove alone.They didn't even have a water bottle in the car .

Ha ha ha, that was as close as I could get to a water bottle!!!

Thanks for a great read fellas!
Amazing stuff.

You blokes are walking encyclopedias!!!

I saw this car at Sandown Historics last year, I stood near by as they started it up and remember the beaming smiles of all around as they gave the blown six a rev. Enjoyed learning the history of this old warrior, great read and I really think AMC should get a hold of this story.

I thought RDM 560 is still the plate attatched to the ex works Charger at the National Motor Museum Birdwood
