Not that I know of, but there's bound to be someone making a replica of it; it's probably gonna be worth more than one in good condition!!! :clap:

Ian Tate has the brake pads from that car in his workshop, at least he did last time I was there ( in the old HDT workshops).

Why bother? They obviously didn't stop the car very well.

if you saw them, you'd know why. If anyone had been to have a look at the old workshops, it was like walking back in time

The original pic is of John Keirans LC XU1 in 1970 as it understeered off McPhillimey Park (the last left hander across the top) before heading to Skyline and hit the fence post that held the old gate into the spectator area. John did break his leg and was lucky that was all. The Yellow XU1 was a bit second hand after the event. If you go back through the old Bathurst pics in AUOTPICS.com.au it is in there. Notice that in those days, there were no slicks or trick tyres. Johns car has the Dunlops D70-13s on it, the Falcons ran Micelins XAS, the trick radial ROAD tyre of the time.History.

and with Rodomos pics, compare Bonds 72 car in the paddock and when it arrived back in the pits....the roof has a perfect "V" in it where the tow truck driver slung a chain through the roof to lift in on the truck!! Again..refer Autopics.com.au

Would need a donor car ($1500 with guards and rust free rad support) and many hrs work ( about 5 yrs the way I operate) but would it be worth it?

As Rory said, this is what Bondy's poor Torana looked liked when it returned to the pits, it may have been repairable, definatly not worth it now!!
