Monza such a well balanced race car. It could've been far more devastating here had it been given the respect of the Fords n Holdens..., even then it would've cleaned em up
I was there for this race, the 200 on Moffat's door being for the Bicentennial of the Declaration of Indepence. Being held in July, I think that was usually the 2+2 meeting?
Holden 308. never fear v8 supercars are dying a slow death which they so richly deserve. within 20 min I'm at sandown and an hour at phillip island historics. the real cars at the tracks that once echoed with real v8 s and real drivers. and when the so called supercars die it will be no surprise to any of us who know what a real race car looks and sounds like
Well he built it for O'neill but the Geoghegan crew generally ran it. He was likely a bit involved with it here but just did the commentary for this race.
Chalk and cheese...car drivers as opposed to robotic pilots. No where near the off track guidance and gadgetry we see today. Ian Geoghegan was the benchmark of Aussie sedan drivers...none better...brother Leo was one of our best open wheel drivers...RIP both.
A US Dekon built Chev Monza. A car that was far more modified than our rules allowed. The Monaro too was illegal then at the time as it was built with a HJ front , with a Chev engine.That was then half assed changed to HQ which is why it looks so weird. Too many cars in that period were built without looking at the rules! Though surprisingly most of those cars are still around and having big money spent to restore them. The Monaro, The bent Charger, The HDT Torana, Harrops EH, the Mustang are here in Oz, I believe the Monza is in NZ
@@ldnwholesale8552 The conversion to HQ was actually anything but half assed. A great deal of time was put into it. There was a rumor that there was some wind tunnel development involved but I couldn't ever confirm that. I still have some of the body molds for the panels. The Chev engine would have actually been fine, but the six litre capacity was the problem. Six litre capacity engines were only permitted in cars which had six litre engines and it had to be the original type of six litre. There were a couple of other things that were against the rules on the Monaro too.
Such an amazing field of cars, all of them iconic today.
The Craven Mild Monaro is currently at Bunbury Geographe Motor Museum as of today!
The CM Monaro because of the rules had so called HQ sheetmetal! Shame because it looked ugly! Great to see it's restored as a HJ as it first appeared!

...Back when racing cars actually overtook each other for the lead...rather than it happening during a pitstop.

i wonder how many punters thought that EH of Harrop must be at least a 186s with 3 su,s and a speco shifter.
Try a repco holden from Bob Janed Elfin.
How come Sheppo is giving comment ? was he not still running the O'Neill Monaro?
Well he built it for O'neill but the Geoghegan crew generally ran it. He was likely a bit involved with it here but just did the commentary for this race.
Who was the driver of the red EH Holden?
It belonged to Ron Harrop. He may have driven it or it may have been driven by Wayne Mahnken.
The yellow flag effort with safety was so chalk and cheese with today 😳😂
I'd rather watch guys like Moffat, Pete Geoghegan, Bondy and Jimmy Richards over the likes of Jamie Whincup any day.
Too True mate love the my boys!
Holden308 no fucking shit hey could not agree more with you mr 308 I own one im sure you do to
@@markbrock2576 I wish. Sad but true, my daily drive is an AU II Falcon wagon lol

Chevvy Monza. About the size and weight of an XU1, but with a 5.7l V8 and boy, could Moffat drive it.
