Here the BT Car after gene cook owned it,the wheels look the same that are on your car,look in the boot to see if it had the LC Side little light on the car

Pretty sure its not this one because the guards are different (look where the vents are) and the black one has the LC headlight surrounds, this one has LJ.

Obviously they could have been changed but I would think it is unlikely.

Either way this thing is awesome and I am really enjoying the hunt to find out which car it is.

yes it does have lc light holes in boot which means it started life as an lc

Wondering if it was ever in the Bargwanna stable being red?
Thinking they ran a few red Toranas in the early 80s.

I saw it mentioned in this topic and I was wondering whatever happened to "the Beast"?
A guy i knew years ago raced it in speedway but not seen him for years.

Do you have a ballpark range? what condition is it currently in? how much work do you estimate to get it back on the track?
