I know this car, I know the guy that used to own it at the time. He sold it a short while ago. Most of the description is quite correct, however if memory serves me correctly it had a Penske Chev motor in it ( I don't know if this was a F5000 item at the time) but I would imagine any thing that Roger Penske had a hand in would be a screamer. The part about the missing log book is quite likely correct as his business premises was totally destroyed in a fire a while ago and most, if not all his personal effects along with it. The car has been in a time warp in the back of the transporter it was placed in after its last race, probably about 1987 as the listing says. If anyone is contemplating purchasing the car I can put you in touch with him, he is not the person offering it for sale on MY105, it is being onsold at best offer.

I could be interested and as he knows the CAMS log book number, I would need to know previous owners..(CAMS could provide that)..if it is what I think it is....it could be very collectable.

The Rogers car is in Qld and known Rohan...but it looks like a John Sheppard (Fatty G Mustang,Thompson VW Chev, HDT 78-80) built car from an F5000...I have an inclinging and yes they used the Rogers guard moulds to make this car...hence the familiar shape....interesting..it needs a lot of work...but....Is that the ex rogers one?

I also noticed everyone missed the MOBIL race car in the shed behind as well.

The rear axle carriers are definately McLaren F5000.

rory keep in mind there is a historic sports sedan catergory U being formulated with cams at the moment , give it twelve months maybe 2 years to get a grid of 20 cars together and once the series is happening these things will skyrocket IN PRICE , i just bought the ex barry wraith LJ sports sedan with a 600hp set back 350 chev for this reason . it weighs nothing should be quick .
i hope who ever buys it plans to race it , you are buying a piece of history in that car .

Looking forward to the sports sedan series coming back that would be awesome.....

there's alot of torry's not to much different to that rotting away in sheds, they weren't of this category but dirt circuit torana's ...
do the same job this car'll do........with little work, perhaps some'll do more.
spend pittance purchasing compared to what's asked for this one as well

It is a funny thing about cars, if this didn't have a Torana shaped body and was just another sports sedan, we would be talking about it being worth $5,000 to $7,000, but because it LOOKS like a Torana it is worth more to us.
