Yep thats right, it was white when it appeared at Bathurst in 1984, as thats the colour it was supplied to Johnson, from Zakspeed who had been racing it in Europe. It also appeared in late 1984 at a Queensland event (maybe Surfers Paradise?), but I think was only doing demonstration laps, to show the local supporters what their favourite son would be driving in 1985. It was entered for Bathurst as a back-up, should anything happen to the Falcon, even though it wasn't anywhere near being as quick as the Group C cars, but there was a Group A class created for that years race. Johnson did some practice laps in it, just to see how it felt, but spent most of his time in the Falcon, understandibly, so photos of the Mustang are quite rare.
