Pete Geoghegan's mighty HJ Monaro Sports Sedan. Financed by Laurie O'Neil, designed and built by John Sheppard, itfeatured a mix of exotic Ford GT40 parts, fuel-injected small block Chevy, andHewland trans-axle. It was a winner straight out of the box, and alwaysspectacular with big Pete at the helm.[/FONT][/COLOR]

This is the way the car looked during is first season, in 1975,before the bulky box-flares were added. Note the lack of racing numbers.Perhaps the cars first event?

The team fought with CAMS throughout 1975 over the HJ nose, as CAMS wanted it gone, replaced by an HQ nose, because the HJ was never made available with a Chevy motor. CAMS eventually won.

I never knew about the argument with the CAMS over the model...

It actually had two LG500s, didn't it? One as a gearbox behind the engine and another with just the differential in use?
