Owned em both but this year helped me decide to buy an XC302 ute. Great car💪💪
This race and the 79 race sit side by side as the most talked about races in Bathurst history...i watched both with my father on a (what was then a average sized tv) 48 cm tv and now I'm watching highlights on a big 65 inch flat screen on 720p... doesn't get any better.
Better days.
One of my favorite cars
Good ol' Moff. What a legend of Aussie motorsports. Lovely man, a real testament to hard work and dedication.
He's in a nursing home now. He has dementia. 😢
Looks like shock absorbers were banned back then.......
Given how utterly useless these things were. Moffat and Bonds efforts in the boat anchors were impressive!
Classic finish this one. Fords greatest moment at Bathurst?
Sounding good but it was all noise and no go for the big race. How many Falcons finished ?? The A9X destroyed them and did it again in 1979 ... The big Falcons were finished.
Didn’t miss a second this race way way back then ❤️
I remember watching this on TV when I was a kid. Great day for Ford
I'm classic rice ❤💯1️⃣🇦🇺
Colin Bond's race and not taking the flag would be the biggest regret in his career. And really, a low point in Moffat's career. Moffat in fact would not win another Bathurst. While the media insisted it was a "crushing victory" others would think things should have been done more professional. Brock would claim the next two Bathursts in the incredible A9X Torana and go on to win another five Bathursts.
Oh, it was crushing alright. One - two thank you. Ford dined out on the Conrod Straight helicopter images for decades. The MHDT 1984 1-2 did not look as slick due to John Harvey dashing to make up time to slip car 25 behind 05 at the flag. As for "done more professional", the team orders having Bond fall behind Moffat's car was the epitome of professionalism. Moffat was boss and Bond a paid employee. You can argue whether it was sporting to do that, it is a fair argument. But it was certainly professional as was everything Moffat did in his career. It has also been said that Bond was offered a stint in car 1 earlier in the day and declined. If that were so, he would have also been classified a winner. The main problem people had is that Moffat for a while after the race was rather coy about his car's mechanical problems and even denied there were problems. But the team most certainly won a crushing victory.
here the bellow of that beefy exhaust note down conrod.
Simply amazing!
after all these years watching the moffat lap ,bond beat him ! lol
Allan wasn't half bad for a Canadian, best driver ever,fullstop.
Sounds like a Harley just ticking over. Long shot but how does the throttle cable connect to carby please ?
Great show. ONE. TWO 😮 that was fixed anyway I still love it.😂
It never gets old
This moment changed Bathurst forever. Amazing!
As a Holden Fan In this Era 🥰 I'm Happy that Bond Allowed Moffat to Win a 1, 2 Ford Win, So Iconic and Legendary..
TOTALLY outclassed by the mighty A9X Toranas. By 78 the XC was a dinosaur floating up and down in the front end wallowing around and running out of brakes. Suspension design dating back to the 50s ford flogging a dead horse for years just like Moffat who blindly and arrogantly followed along being rewarded with being dumped by ford management. All stripes no substance all noise no action thrashed at sandown then thrashed at Bathurst by 6 laps a true ford bogan special.
You forget 1977 ; the Torana A9X Bathurst ; 13 broke down . Which is why Ford won so easily. Holden spent mega bucks in 1978 - didn’t do them any good where is Holden now. The last Holden CEO said Holden would have survived if it wasn’t for the bogans & housos who don’t buy their new cars.
@@Steveaustin007😂😂😂😂😂 1979 not one single ford finished in the top ten ALL A9Xs first ford 25th. By 78 the XC was a dinosaur and was Never going to be able to circulate so constantly or have the reliability of the 308 toranas. Thrashed at sandown and decimated at Bathurst.
@@ToranaA9X308 yes that’s for sure - Ford had pulled out by 1979 and only 4 or 5 falcons started. Cams refused to allow Ford to run the same system sump that they allowed the Toranas to use . Therefore plenty of engines were sure to get oil surge and detonate . My uncle was the boss at CAMs and he said to my dad , what we done to Ford over the years was criminal. Especially in 1975 , but we did get wealthy from it.
@Steveaustin007 stands to reason that no idiots dared to comment on the facts you just stated ,, I believe it to be very true and they could not let the 1,2 finish ever happen again under any condition. The falcon was a great car and proved it by being the quickest again, they just were not allowed to make the adjustments needed to keep that pace up for the 800ks. Cheers.
@@doriankeating1963 😂😂😂 a great car the XC. They were an unreliable pile of shit. Moffat Johnson Carter goss all spent a fortune trying to make those turds hang together. Are you attempting to suggest there was a CONSPIRACY to never let the fake 1.2 finish happen again. Fuck me get some help with that RIDICULOUS delusion crap. The REAL 1.2 finish was brock and skippy parsons in the VK group Cs where they were in the CORRECT placing as they finished the race. But ford bs finish was good for the bogans to piss in each others ears at BBQs.
That’s real driving skill. Those cars were not easy to drive like today’s machines.
And bugger all guard rails.
Allan was visibly emotional as the interview went on there.
Father of ford racing in Australia. My favourite Ford's of all time.
Must of been fords time
Best coverage of cars down Conrod Straight & best finish EVER.
Bond could have taken comeoffit team orders suck.
You just hate Moffat.
The footage of the two cars coming down conrod from the helicopter is probably the best piece of footage in the history of that race.
Dream on IT'S The only thing Ford has to brag about.
@@darrylmackie9184 Oh c'mon Darryl...read your comment again. Seriously?
Agreed.
@darrylmackie9184 I'm a Holden fan, and this is the best, the most iconic scene from Bathurst hands down.
I remember watching this with my dad ...I was about 10 .. I kept asking why didn't the number 2 car pass the other one ...
And the brave little Mazda 😂?
Yep, great cars, great days. However I do remember when Moffat drove the RX7 (around '83), he got our family friend at the Canberra Car Show to do a paint job on the side door - the Stuyvesant jet I think. He wanted it done for free because he was Allan Moffat. Lost me as a fan from then on. A pity.
I don't think brock ever got over this humiliating victory by the falcons because brock was always trying to replicate it but "no prizes for second"
I'm a mad Ford fan. If I had all the money in the world I would buy the DJR 92 RS500 in a heart beat.... But these 2 Falcons are the most important, and iconic Fords in Australian motoring history. Nothing will come close to that 1-2 finish
Best looking race car ever.
So many say ''Bond let Moffat win;; but Moffat was well ahead of Bond before slowing to get Bond in position for that glorious 1-2 footage...like Ken Miles at Le Man.
Are these Australian mowers And how can I tell what year my 160 was made?
You can tell from the number stamped on the crank case (engine number) the first 2 digits will be the year its made
Great race, great win, I was there! Let's not forget the co-drivers. Jackie Ickx, formula 1 driver especially. Very precise, accurate driving. Car handed back to Alan Moffat in perfect order to win the race.
Ah ... nope, that's completely and utterly wrong! Jackie Ickx drove poorly, screwed the brakes, and handed the car back to Alan Moffat in terrible condition, which was why Moffat was having to nurse the car home in the end, and didn't actually win, with Bond only coming second due to team orders. Sorry to burst your little bubble...
🤦🏼♂️ As usual, Mike Raymond's commentary was clumsy, mangled and clichéd... 🙉 Big supporter of racing. Bad commentator of it. 😒
Sooner Mike Raymond than Mark Skaif.
At least Skaife actually brings _knowledge_ and _experience,_ to his commentary,@@Redpepper7376. Raymond just had inane hype and babble. Sandy Roberts was just as bad. Actually, they were _both_ kinda like a 'Mike Moore' of sports commentary. 😄
the sport is bias, it's set for Holden to dominate so they can sell their piles of shit that the world doesn't want, there's always more than twice as many holden's than Ford's and all the best teams and drivers that Ford has get fleeced to drive for holden , Vodafone championship winning ford team becomes Vodafone holden but then James Courtney in the Jim beam Ford beat them so Holden then bought him and he was shit for them lol, this sport is a bias beat up on Ford
I still do a fist pump whenever I watch this iconic moment in Bathurst history. Two great Australians in Allan (Canadian/Aussie) and Colin - dual winners of this race in my books - bringing those big beautiful Falcons across the line together after withstanding a Torana onslaught lead by the King of the mountain - Peter Brock. Both still had a lot of racing in them to go of course but not so much with Ford sadly after it pulled it's direct support a year later. And because of that Ford victories were few and far between after '77 for a long time.
Yeah, nah... That "onslaught" had long since crumbled during the afternoon. Also, Brock wasn't the King - up to '77, he'd only had won twice. Oh, and if you're _still_ doing fist pumps about this, you _really_ need to grow up, and get out a bit more. 😬
@@assininecomment1630 quiet, dummy.
Best race ever.
sour grapes
I received a large compensation package and spent wisely I purchased an XC GS PANEL VAN it was installed with large twin tanks. Removed the Cleveland 351, took it out a mild 60,000 added 800 holly was going with a crossflow delorto carb set up but to pricy and was easy with holly so holly was in reconditioned the top loader and 9 " lowered slightly with heavy springs shocks to set it off nice roll bars 4 wheel discs Over size 12" rear 9" front tyres back in the early 90s my panel van held on to the road. And blew away all commers
🥱 Nobody cares about your project, or claims of wisdom. 😂 Besides, you lost money on it, so "spending wisely" is more b.s.
I was there...
as we have all knowen for the last 46 years Bond should have wone the race. My father was real pissed off, he lost his money with the bookie, he had Bond for the win, didn't do a each way bet
Bond was #2 Driver and would never have passed Moffat during these last laps.
An awesome finish but I always remember what my Brother told me about it. He was a great fan of this finish. He was working doing computer support on loan to Ford Victoria and got on well with the chaps in R&D, as he maintained all their equipment. They chuckled and says but you know they were illegal! Apparently they had ultra-thin glass (3mm windscreen and 2mm side glass) with the weight moved to the floorpan with lead. Even Brocky knew, but he was running roller rockers so couldn't afford to have the tappet covers off. ACI Pilkington supplied the glass on the understanding it was for a clay modelling and not for road use.
Ahhh...the good old days!
Moffat tried that trick in his Cortina for the Sandown 6 hour. He was forced to get real glass installed before the race. These are the tricks he learnt from the US. Where they acid-dipped the body shells to reduce weight.
Awesome stuff.👍
Moffat was not only a great driver but had a knack of pulling some of the world's best to help him in his quest to win. Perhaps it was his sheer determination. I'd love to hear how he managed to convince the great Jackie Ickx to drive for him in 1977.
In Allan Moffat's book he tells how he got Jackie Ickx to be his co driver - a lazy $10,000 did the trick, which would have been a hell of a lot of cash in those days.
I know it's ancient history now, but THAT is how you do it. Bondy knows he could have won, he would be happy knowing that fact and they are both professionals, thinking of the big picture.
It didn't help ford or the general SAD!
