The narrative is full of holes so the narrative keeps changing to try to plug those holes as they keep appearing.
Quote "This rule does not apply to the Australian 200 Basically Identical Units as Basically Identical Units requires 1 gearbox and 1 diff ratio to be able to drive. The 200 cars are required to be identical units. However this rule does apply to the Australian 300 & 400."
Ford built 402 XW GTHO but were only required to make and sell 200 cars for recognition. So what!!!
GMH built 299 LC CK XU1 however Joe Felice clearly stated in his letter to CAMS they had already sold in excess of the required number of 100 cars for the CK evolution. So what!!!
Last time I looked Ford, Holden, Chrysler etc were car manufacturers
Not 300 or 400, only 200.
Ford built 300 GTHO Phase III, 200 cars for the 3.25:1 and 3.50:1 rear axle ratios and 100 cars for the alternative 3.91:1 ratio rear axle would be in line with the CAMS rules for 1971 Group E.
At the end of the day the GTHO Phase II homologated the 3.25:1 and 3.50:1 rear axle ratios and as the Phase III was an evolution of the Phase II those axle ratios did not need to be homologated again.
The Phase III did however homologate the 3.91:1 ratio rear axle.
Hi after s pack has hi lighted the GMH letter from joe to Thompson I now understand that the required number cars in excess of 100 have already been sold which is the total amount required, I had to read the letter slowly a few times before I understood what Joe was saying, So the minimum no of cars to be built is 100 units not 300. what do u guys think
I've edited out Joe's superfluous general advice about the production breakdown to make the important info of his letter clearer.
Joe is advising D.K Thompson of The CAMS that GMH have already sold in excess of the required number of cars (100) for recognition of the CK XU1 evolutionary changes.
It is perfectly clear, the number of CK XU1's GMH had to make & sell to gain recognition of the CK evolution was a minimum of 100 cars, not 200, not 300 but only 100.
