Owners : Mike & Rhonda Small - Timaru
This car was built to replicate one of the most famous cars in Australian Motor Racing history - Pete Geoghegan's 1967 Mustang GTA. The original car won the Australian Touring Car Championship in 1967, 1968 & 1969.
The idea to build this replica was born in Sydney on 6 December 2009, after seeing the original car on display at the V8 Supercar round. With the help of all the people listed below the idea became reality. The original car is owned by the Wall family in Sydney. The Late Des Wall and his team were most helpful in allowing us to photograph and measure the original car to ensure this replica is as close to the original as possible.
