History
Converted by Jack Lacey for group Nb racing in 1979. Driven by Ian ‘Pete’ Geoghegan in 1989 at the Bathurst Historics and again in1993 at the Lakeside Historic meeting the car became a regular favourite and was considered
“The car to beat” in Historic racing between 1994 and 1997.
The car was restored in 2000 and underwent various mechanical improvements to its already extensive list of modifications. At 420hp it became a regular class winner at the NSW and QLD circuits including a 3rd place at Bathurst 2003. In 2005 it held the lap record in class at Warwick raceway and was .1second off the Qld Raceway record.
