Hi guys just a query .
What colours is Brocks 05 a9x ?.

[yel327]

Cotillion white.

The red would have been Marlboro Red?

[Indy Orange]

I thought this was the best of the Marlboro paint schemes , just my personal opinion .Sorry off topic.I think this colour was day glow.

I'm with Indy on this one.
That is a poxy pic of that car.
Back in the day, at the Mtn., those Dayglow big bangers were shite hot 100% tough and cool.

Not a patch on the original GroupC big bangers though. Screaming 427 BBC, Traco 327ci and 350ci 500hp+ SBC engines in Novas, Camaros and Monaros. High revving Transam spec Karcraft 302 Mustang etc.

I'm not really into Chevrolets ,I just love the Group C Aussie muscle cars . I'm going to build a Greens Tuff Johnson Falcon replica after this Torana is finished.

[RallyRed]

lol...those ones were just before my time.
My first Bathurst was A9X era, then the Commodes.
The VK Gp A were nice to, appeared to be very simple cars.

I do get that. The proper GroupC Muscle Cars though were the Beechey HK and HT 81837’s, Jane Z28 Camaro, Geohegan XY and Moffat Mustang. The best bang for buck later GroupC replica would have to be a Bartlett Camaro, you’d buy a good one for a song and repro parts are easy to get. It easily had the most power in its era, used to easily out power and out qualify the 308’s and 351’s but suffered due to rear drums. It was on pole for both 1980 and 1981.

I was at Bathurst in 79 and watched Brock in action and loved that car and promised myself I was going to get one ,now ive got the coin its happening.

Still looking for that red colour, cant find that Marlboro code. Is it called something else?

[RallyRed]

Must have been same year?..
Up the top, just past the Dipper.
A wheel goes past ??..then Tim Slako's black A9X Hatch follows on 3 wheels.
None of which has anything to do with this topic..lol

[GregD]

Colours sorted ,thanks

[Rockoz]

I read somewhere that the red was a Nissan colour at the time. Not a GMH one.

What did you eventually work out?

 

Cheers

Cheers l was told by a reputable source ie one of Harry Firths ex racing buddies the red was a mixture to try and match the cigarette box colour on the Marlboro Packet and isn't on the charts .Nissan Beacon Red A is the closest as well as Salamanca Red which is a Holden colour .
