Does anyone know the overall win/loss record of the Sidchrome Mustang?

Richards finished 4th in the 1976 Australian Sports Sedan Championship, which I think was the first year this became a national championship. From what I can tell, he either hadn't entered or didn't finish three of the seven rounds, but finished 4th, 2nd, 2nd, and 4th in the races he did complete. The championship was won by Allan Moffat who'd run initially with his RS3100 Capri, which was replaced by his DeKon Chevy Monza, while Frank Gardner (Corvair) finished the championship in 2nd, and Tony Edmonson (Repco Charger) was 3rd. Gardner only ran the last three races of the season in the new Corvair, but won them all.
Richards won the 1976 Marlboro $100,000 Sports Sedan series, which was held at Calder Park, over five rounds. He won none of the races but was the most consistent. He placed 2nd, 2nd, 4th, 3rd, and 5th, to win the title from Bob Jane (HQ Monaro), and Frank Gardner. Again Gardner only ran the last three races but won all of them.
The Sidchromes first race in Australia (from memory) was at Baskerville Tas...
Here it is jacked up with a blown gearbox while a private XW GT Falcon has become the donor.
The XW GT is owned by Garth Wigston (Tassie Humpy driver, Lotus Cortina, Escort TC, Roadways Torana's at about 7 or 8 Bathursts) who
bought it new and still has it.
George Sheiwery has had the car for along time. Be good to see it back in Sidchrome colours. Last time I saw it was black with red and yellow stripping a bit like Moffats late coupe.
Thats it Bob, I tried to post photo in the wet at Baypark with a guy in a blue Angle Box playing games in the sweeper. Will try and resize. Must catch up sometime.
Hey Bob......interesting to note what is on your back bumper and on George's back bumper......I can smell it all now....
