PRE-COBRA The 1977 Bathurst Hardtops • The real story of the Falcon Hardtop homologation special that made Moffat’s 1977 Bathurst one-two steamroller possible.

The tale of the Mothballed Monaro • It looks like a barn-find but this is more a muscle car time capsule. Back in the early ’90s the owner of this HJ Monaro GTS parked it up in a garage, and there it lay undisturbed for more than 30 years until just a few months ago when it was released from its darkened prison.

They called him Splitpin • Phil Brock 1951- 2026

By George • He was never a famous racing driver, but he contributed to many famous race – and rally – wins. Liz Swanton reflects on the life and times of the late George Shepheard.

Back in the day

The 3.0-Litre threat • It may seem hard to believe today, but in the mid-1970s the Hardie-Ferodo 1000 almost became a race for under 3.0-litre cars only. This is the story of how they tried to ban the V8s from the Great Race.

Tassie’s heavy lifter • Don Elliott ran a succession of V8 monsters – Elfin-Chev, Mustang, Camaro, Charger and two Chev V8-powered Alfettas – for his young chargers, Robin Pare and Tony Edmondson. Geoffrey Harris remembers the Tasmanian tycoon’s formidable racing team.
