1977 was the first Bathurst I saw on TV when I was 6 years old. Seeing the two big Falcons "flying" down Conrod side by side made a huge impression on this young boy, I have been a Moffat fan ever since.
Keep finding more lost classic tin tops, restore, re-equip & get them back on the race track where they belong so that we all can relive those days of REAL racing. Please post this.
from 5:12 history comes back to life from 1977, Allan Moffat will forever more be a tru blue legend. Good on ya mate for bringing back a bit of history.
Sort of, only difference is that the V8 supercars are actual street driven cars (either the holden commodore or a ford falcon) converted to race spec's and applications, where the NASCAR is purely a dedicated custom roll cage chassis with a purpose made shell for the track (that looks really cool though). I hope to see NASCAR take a step outside the U.S.A soon as well to the down under and make a mark, I love NASCAR as well.
American NASCAR is so readily available to take on a touring car race. It's almost identical to the cars here... All the good folks over there at the west is an open mind and an open heart and see this so they get to know what they're missing and what full potential their NASCARs can make.
Those XCs had to be the best livery ever!

Yup.. anything less than a falcon coupe just doesn't do it
Same here, at same age. It was an iconic image.
I can't believe the telecast put that silly grid up when DJ was on full noise in TruBlu. Can still here the noise at least.
Love those hardtops, they look and sound awesome!
Some nice cars going around that track, making some good sounds too!
Back when V8s sounded like V8s! Love the A9X and the XC Coupe Falcons.
I grew up watching these cars, Moffat/ Bond's 1/2 finish...hell yeah, excellent memories.
Classic not Plastic. Old school rules.

@@markharris4421 do you want some tissues?
@@klayshotter your speedy reply suggests I touched a nerve. No need to share your tissues.
@@markharris4421 keep talking coming m8, let your anger out hahaha 😂 lol
I agree. I liked the Winfield livery and the 1. You don’t see numbers like that anymore
Mark Larkham actually drove Peter Brock's second Mobil 1 Sierra RS500 at the 1989 Sandown 500.
It would be really interesting to see the specs of all these cars; weight/kw and comparative lap times.

@funia1989 They need road course racing in street circuits like that. Nascar cars are very similar to V8 supercars
Carburetors...they pre date electricity dont they? Old tanks going around corners like a cat on wet tiles...ewww!
