Rip Jack.
Condolences to his family..
Wasn't the engine he used based on the GM motor that was later sold to Rover?

An Oldsmobile engine? Was on Motormate last week I think.

A real legend and a great ambassador for motorsport and Australia.

All forum members here have a soft spot for cars such as John Goss / Allam Moffat special vehicles. Brock Commodores / Chryslers / Toranas as well. However I am confident the first ever racing legend 'endorsed' car is the Holden HB Brabham Torana. The forerunner of them all.

Can it be deemed the rarest road Torana of all time. I have never seen one in real life, no owner photos only press photos. Series one had extra goodies whereas series two had unique model code on tags.
