Later painted orange, Dale?
Wasn't it written off against the wall at Oran Park?

Looking at Autopics this Falcon was a 4 door in 1969, and a "two Door" in 1970.
I guess the idea of welding up the back doors was to give it more strength, and it must have been allowed by the sports sedan rules.

Yes, it was allowed under the rules...
Not that there was anything much in the way of firm rules in 1969.

Brian Foley in Alfa GTAM
Elfin 400Reoco V8 Could be Jane in cockpit? Hairstyle looks similar
Moffat and Denis O'Brien in GTHO's
Vees ??
Post 47
Jane in 7 litre Camaro at Oran Park
Bernie Stack in Cheetah Mk 6 at Amaroo
Bob Holden in Escort T/C. Unusual for #10. Normally he was "unlucky #13
Red Cortina ??
Now that I have done the hard ones I'll leave the easy ones for Ray.

Moffat following Jane... that's not a hard one, so it qualifies for me...
But the Cheetah must be a hard one as it's not Bernie Stack. It's Mike Stack.
In the Vees we have two Rennmaxes leading a Revell, probably Phil Revell. I always used to look at that brace on the roll bar of the first Rennmax and wonder how sound it was from an engineering standpoint, but I don't remember whose car it was.
I think that would be Alan Cant's Capri behind Hopwood's Speedo-sponsored car. And if I recall correctly, that Cortina has a small block Ford V8 in it, probably a 289. You need programmes to pick a lot of these cars.

That sports car was an interesting machine...
Bob Hinrichs' Kaditcha, it had a Chevy Vega engine as developed by Cosworth. It always seemed a strange engine choice to me in that it was the only one around, but it went pretty well. A very neat car.

Thanks Ray, great info. Does the car still exist?

I imagine it's still around somewhere, Steve...
The EH two pics up is John Bourke, I'm not sure whether or not the Celica is Doug Clark, his boss.
