- Allan Moffat’s 1969 Trans-Am Mustang is arguably Australia’s most famous racing car ever to hit the tarmac, making its debut at Sandown Park in the Southern 60 Touring Car Series. It was one of seven Trans-Am Mustangs built by Kar-Kraft USA, and was actually gifted to Allan Moffat by Ford Competition department in the US, with Australian Touring Car Championship victory in its sight.
It was a hand-built Ford factory racer, built by the best in the business and shipped here to take on Australia's best, including the likes of Norm Beechey in his wild Monaro and Bob Jane's fearsome ZL1 Camaro.It never won the title but this iconic Trans-Am Mustang's record stands at 101 wins from 151 starts, plus countless podium finishes.
Today's Group Nc Historic Touring Car motorsport category emulates Australia's Improved Touring Car and Series Production Car categories of the 60s and 70s, of which also inherently includes American derived cars similar to those raced in the USA Trans-Am and Nascar series during the same period such as the Boss Mustang, Z28 Camaro and Ford Galaxie. The ever-popular Gulf Western Oil Touring Car Masters series also shares DNA with this category. These iconic days of racing graced our race tracks, setting a path for what is now our mainstream premier racing category hear in Australia known as Supercars, having stemmed from the original V8 Supercars Series created in the early 90s. The difference today is that the latter shares little with its production car counterparts, where back in these early days your could virtually walk into your local car dealership and buy what was raced.

The vintage Trans Am racing is as good as it gets. If you ever get a chance to go to one, DON'T miss it...
I was a kid out at Oran Park watching Moffat and Jane going hammer and tongs. Moffat was GOD and the car above is how I remember it. The back was up on jacks in the grass while they worked on it. Truly a magic time for motor racing in Australia.
Allan was a good old boy from Canada.
Love it Glenn, and that little 68 Coupe is stunning 😍
Love it. Nice of Dan to bring out the beast for the event.
Such a glorious sound. Fantastic show mate
Thanks mate! Yes, it's an epic machine that's for sure. :-)
My all time favourite muscle car!
Kudos for great sound and camera work. 👌😎
My favorite! Thanks mustang
Love the sounds of these car's.
And no added Music required 👍
a real beauty! Amazing winning record!
God they sound good!
Pure toughness 👌🏽
The minilights look great on this.
Love that racing footage. Headphones on volume up, Amazing!!
Yep, full noise all round.
Love it.
I was lucky enough to get to push the 'Stang out of its tent at Calder.
difference between a ford and holden , ford push it out of the tent , holden push it around the track. ha
fuck yes!!! Absolutely loving this channel.
Bet when they pulled that baby off the trailer chevy damn near shit its pants. Like the 427 sideoiler and cammer the Boss 302 race version was a thing to be reckoned with.
Great work Glenn.
Getting all the video at Philip Island.
It was funny and not ??
Watching the drivers trying to get these cars going around corners.
They were really a point and shot car back then.
Forget about going around corners, LOL.
The drivers were really wrestling with the cars when it came to cornering.
What a sound, can't beat a V8.
Kick ass!
Good old days
"Praise the FORD" 😎
Yes Allan brought professionalism to the sport in oz! Find it a bit strange with the extreme reves and using the engine to brake!
Hey, any chance you could share the wheel and tire size for the 1970 Trans Am boss ? Thank you !!!
I can't confirm 100% but pretty sure they'd be 15X 8 all round.
Engine is not Trans am spec, it would only be able to run a single 4 barrel in the SCCA Trans Am series.
Does that 68 coupe have the Tunnel Port 302? Those things would make huge power but have very sluggish get up out of the corners, Which let to the development of the Cleveland head and the Boss 302 of the 69 car
Pretty sure it's a 289
@@mickblack3291 damn. I am fascinated by the Tunnel Ports
shame the camera was on the wrong side of the car when the hood was open (hood prop was on that side)
wingiest ... a new word !
Winningest. Its not a new word, but it is a real word! Look it up! 😊
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines informal north american language might be ok when describing a mustang ! but not for discussing aussie muscle .. bonza. awesome or beaut are acceptable ! maybe even a strewth !!
@@londonman8688 That's Bonzer and Strueth!
I can't make up my mind, as to which is the best looking car ever built. Is it this particular Mustang, or the John Wyer, Gulf 917K Porsche.
Strange that it does not have the rear mudguard scoops that all 1969 Mustangs had.
That's because it's a Boss 302. They did not have the scoops.
@@stephenvelden295 It originally had the scoops. It wasn't a boss. It had a gazillion body panel changes, apart from the roof I doubt it has an original body panel left especially after it became a sports sedan.
@@amraceway theres pictures of its first race in australia without the scoops . its a bud moore built trans am boss 302 . it was made to put scoops on for the 1972 season
@@chopperking1122 CAMS did not allow changes to the stock exterior save for flaring the guards without adding metal from 1970 to 1972.
Waaay better racing than the boring, over regulated, V8 Supercars!
Ditto... 😎👍
there like sheep following each other around the top paddock, boring
What cracks me is that the owners of V8 Supercars cant see how shit boring it is to see plastic after plastic - same shape - same specs - same drivers racing around the track. No car development, no driver development. Its boring. Stopped watching years ago.
Is that What they call Hilborn or Himborn injection? If so was that the early stages of fuel injection?
No, not injection, these are Downdraft Weber Carburetors x 4. :-)
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines Thank you sir
Moffat didn't have Brockys, or dicky J's charisma but man could he drive those falcons.
Yes, he was a bit shy with the media sometimes, a real pro though, and a quiet achiever.
Moffat didn't do too badly in 1987 In race at Spa in his Commodore co- driven by Brock and Harvey.
My mother would drive circles around this dude no bull shit many people told me she could outdrive any man she drove the powder puff derby won all but her first race took 3rd.😂
BUT MOFFAT'S MUSTANG NEVER WON BATHURST.
If Moffat could have obtained more titanium valve springs from america rather than the american teams grabbing most of them he would have won more races... not had to keep the ones he got under his pillow.
To Kevin Hunt Holden struggled at Bathurst without a ford rear end in the back and needed cams to bend rules for them at the will of GM same in the USA otherwise GM would never win anything aptly badged stands for gunker Machine
They are not real race cars from back in the Day WTF.
Bloody hell those cars handle like crap!! Plus Dennis seemed to be a gear too low everywhere. And thoe camera car with all the tyre squeal. Tyre squeal in a racecar?
Those stupid useless Hoosiers are a good part of the problem. Use some radials!! I suspect a normal buffed road tyre would be far better. And yes I am aware of the lack of suitable race radials.
And yes I have done a lot of laps around that place tough in a Sports Sedan 10+ sec a lap faster and about a quarter of the cost.
FYI You sound like right wanker
Back when racing was racing. Not that race for the cup BS they got now. When Dale E died I quit watching. Nascar is a freaking joke now.
