He set the lap record on the final lap of 1979 Bathurst race winning by 6 laps.

A few words from the man himself:

These cars have a very sentimental link to me.

My Dad sold new Holdens for many years, bringing home the latest cars including these.

Taking me and my brothers on some exciting rides.( He sometimes drove them like he stole them. Driving them down dirt roads doing hand brake 180s, with us in the back do it again.We always had to wash them up like new when we got home.)

I also worked at Holden manufacturing for 28years from the late 80s until 2017 when the plant closed.

Thanks to all the behind the scenes chats and encouragement by the crew.

Hope you like it as much as I do😎 #holden #torana #aussie #australia #classiccars #rally #racecar #musclecar #comparison #sidebyside
