Not a street scene as such, but a cool pix of Bob Janes ZL1 at Bathurst race track around 72. In front of Ex pat Canadian Allan Moffatt in the factory prepped Boss302 and the locally Ford Aust built 351C 71 XY 'Superfalcon' They call this track section the 'dipper' lol...

Great pic. I'm a big fan of the Australian hot rods from HSV.

Love the Aussie cars too, please post more!
Is the SY Falcon mentioned one of the 4-Doors w/ 351 and factory shaker cars?
Love to see more Aussie track shots w/ Holden Monaros or Vauxhall Droopsnoots, especially any of the 100 built Firenza Can-Ams w/ factory 302 SBC and Muncies!

The Fiat poking out behind the red rocket streetcar picture looks like the same car tooling by in the other Toronto pics we looked at here yesterday, the one w/ the '70 Cuda and Challenger driving opposite ways.
It was the thread w/ the a barn find '69 Copo Camaro reported to be coming out of hiding after 30 plus years in a Toronto garage...thread deleted now?

This pix shows the town of Bathurst below from the top of the mountain circuit. The pits are the building in the background. Legend has it that ex Canadian Allan Moffatt was taken to the roadcourse and given the tour of Bathurst. While on the public rd he said 'nice veiw,now where is this racetrack' only to be told your on it!!. He said it was the last time he looked left while up the top of the track! lol. No safety fencing back then. Just a public road closed for racing once a year.


Sport sedan series


ZL1 Vs Boss...Bob Jane has to fit a 350 later to comply with racing scrutineering. As Aust production cars only came with 5.8 or 5.7 litre engine.Bob had to comply hence the 350 addition to the Camaro


Pete Geoghan in his coupe was a frontrunner. He drove the 'superfalcon' FI351C for the Factory
