History
Peter Brock split from Holden between 1988 and 1990. During this time he modified various Fords including Fairlanes. This is one of only roughly 22 Brock Fairlanes - of which only 3 are known to exist still.
This is Build #16 and seems to have had a fairly rough life - even though there are only 161,000kms on the clock. I’m currently restoring it to former glory.
Modifications
Two tone paint scheme (optional)
Enlarging the air intake system to provide better airflow, porting and polishing the head, increasing the standard compression ratio and fitting an extractor exhaust system.
Exhaust system allows a freer flow of exhaust. Two groups of pipes, the front 3 and the rear 3 blending into two tailpipes.
Both catalytic converters are mounted closer to the engine allowing them to heat up more quickly on initial start up, improving efficiency and complying with emission standards.
Stainless steel heat shield to protect wiring and hoses from the greater heat generated from the extractors
Self levelling rear suspension replaced with a re-rated shock absorber system developed by Monroe Wylie together with recalibrated springs and a stiffer anti-roll bar. Monroe Wylie Shock Absorber System (GTi) acts like a variable rate setup - stiffening at high speeds and softening again at low speeds.
Pull down front shocks
Front and rear shocks can be easily dismantled to allow valve changes without the added fuss of removing the whole unit.
Standard ice cube grill painted black
Brock wheels with colour keyed centre pieces that blend with the bumpers.
16 inch wheels with a 7 inch rim width, mated with low profile Bridgestone RE71 tyres in 225/50 X 16 size, Z-rated to 240km/h
Leather bound sports steering wheel
Contoured front sports seats
All new interior trim with previously unused designer fabric
