Brocky, Sir Jackie and Alan Jones. 3 of the very best.

Why was Dick Johnson not in this race?

Enjoy.... it doesn't happen often

❤🏁💯🇦🇺🏁🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💯👑🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎

I was there

Boss 302 Mustang, Falcon GTHO, Colongne Capri, Chevy Monza, Sebring BMW, Le Mans Porsche, Commodore, Mazda 12a and 13b, Allan Moffat could drive any car to a win. No, I didn't forget the 1.6 litre BDA Escort giving the 7 litre Camaro a driving lesson at Calder Park. I was there.

Fun Facts: * Peter Brock's 9th and last Sandown enduro win. * Holden would not win the Sandown 500 again until 1992. * Larry Perkins won this race, he also won in 1992 with Steve Harrington, co-driving here with Allan Grice. * Nissan would win 4 of the 8 Group A Sandown 500's. * Allan Grice set the Group C lap record here with a 1 min 48.3 second lap. John Bowe holds the Group A lap record in a Ford Sierra RS500 with a 1 min 47.65 lap in the 1988 Sandown 500.

40 years since this race. The new twisty track was never gonna last.

Love the Old Days.

The gthos were the best racing cars ever at Bathurst. They just kicked arse. Holden's were no match.

If I had a dollar for every time Mark Oastler said “Goodness Me” 😆

Ford could have made 400 cars with an after market 'factory' steel crank, 25 cars with the Boss 302 Trans Am roller rockers for homolgation, and used the Concorde/ Monza ( later Mad Max!) show cars 0.36 drag factor front end with fiberglass pieces replacing all body panels except for the roof, doors, and quarter panels. Thats right where the 1983 Falcon moved to, a car benching at 1285 kilos, with 4V heads and with a Moldex steel crank. Instead, Edsel Bryant Ford II got funding for a paint job and a few durability and tyre size mods. In an environment where the A9X had F5000 reciprocating durability parts, weight reduction body, Ford under did it for the next 26 years. Ford then knobbled the Holden winning streak with Project Blueprint. Holden lovers got all the ammunition in 78, and never looked back...

What bit is the "Missing Footage'"?

wow, the way Alan Moffat throws that boat around is impressive. those XA-XC bodies were big and heavy. Harvey has a great machine in that Torana. this was the real Bathurst/Mt Panorama days... back when productions cars ruled, as they still should, but somehow it all got glorified into a class that nobody drives in reality... production car racing still exists but tv and sponsors are focused on the glamour racing... it really fell apart after they banned turbos and turned it into Ford vs GMH/C.

At the end of 1977, Ford slashed their spending on motorsport, and Holden went "open cheque book"... the rest is history.

Ah the good old days of real production car racing rather than identical "cookie cutter" V8 supercars that are all the same and under the skin, just dressed up to look like different makes of production cars.

Getting to the same place in 2024, Yes nothing that twenty double b racing cars will not fix on the way to Bathurst

Raced Peter for many years great driver Garry Waldon.

can anyone upscale it? my machine can't handle it

Lowndes and richards in the ff class

Great to see some more superbikes, thanks

the holden smoker addition

More please👍

Never been more happy for a Holden to win than I was this year.

Awesome stuff. Do you have any more like this?? 97 season was crazy. And do have any more AGP or Indy support races??

I love not having safety cars to ruin the race. They are not necessary.

Technically Moffat should of let the faster car past. Especially when he is 1 lap behind

how good do the toranas and falcons sound

Wonderful to not have safety cars out there every few minutes ruining the race.

16:20 So true. Pironi drove a car he'd never seen before in a category he'd never competed in before, on a track he'd never seen before and beat them all, barring the two F1s. It was such an impressive performance.

How good was the Slug?

Proper racing . I miss the days of all makes, all models rather than the conga line that passes for racing today. Sigh

I see Fords, Holdens, Mazdas, Datsuns, Toyotas, Chryslers. The modern Bathurst race is dull as fuck.

V8 supercars gen 3 ain't got sheet on dis

How good is this! 🏁👍🏁👍

The good old days , dont ya miss em .

Darrel Eastlake was brilliant at commentating this sort of thing.

Moffat was a good driver but a terrible sportsman

Real men in real race cars

I like the word "somehow"!!

i remember this and felt heartbroken for Jack Brabham and Sterling Moss

The Speaker of the House of Reps? Seems like a strange choice (unless Calder Park was located in his electorate... which it wasn't)

It was a better race when it was run with multiple classes of cars together!

Nice mate.Would be good if oneday AI could render all these old clips in 4K!

Tuffest looking race car ever Xc Cobra

2 incredibly good commentators in evan green and howard marsden

My Dad took me to see that car at a Ford Dealer ..... munched. That flaggy was very lucky.

Holy crap, Ten used some great songs on their motorsport coverage back in the day

Shit allan was batting well above his average ,his wife looks beautiful

A9X Torana the best car Australia produced...end of story💪💪
