The story of Peter Brock winning Bathurst in his ‘little’ six-cylinder Torana is the stuff of giant-killer legend.
In a feature on the 1972 race, we note: “Years later, HDT team boss Harry Firth would recall this first Bathurst win among Brock’s finest-ever drives, ranking it alongside the 1979 Repco Trial victory and the six-lap crushing he and Jim Richards handed out at Bathurst the same year. Of the 1972 race, Firth said, ‘The race was a turning point in his life. He went from nobody to King of the Mountain.’”
This tribute car is a 1970 LC with LJ panels and trim, running a 202 inline six with triple Stromberg carburetors. The transmission is a four-speed manual.
Located in Traralgon (Vic), it’s on the market at $55,000.
