I guess the Consul is the same Phil Rudd raced for a while, was stored in a hanger at Tauranga airport last time I saw it.

Sorry Jac Typo 283 old Impala slugger.
JT......John Thorby...bloody hard case critter he was....great competitor...we had lots of battles in my early years..until I leant to use single pulse turbo's as opposed to split pulse which was best for 4 cylinder cars...then he was a blur in my mirror, along with Jim in the modified VW! Regards, Tony Rutherford.
Attachment 24378Attachment 24379Attachment 24380Ok Allan Moffatt and Jim Richards are obvious here but the Camaro I'm not 100% sure but could be John Riley.
I meant to say that it's Wigram probably about 75.
Attachment 24381Attachment 24382And a couple from Levels probably a bit earlier.
Attachment 24383Levels the same day, I've found a few slides that I converted (incidentally Warehouse have slide converters on sale for $50.00 at the moment) i just have to resize them all.
Attachment 24386Attachment 24387Attachment 24388Attachment 24389They're not the greatest but I thought I'ld post everything.
Attachment 24390Attachment 24391Attachment 24392The last one is the Bruce Bellis Cortina but I don't know about the others.
The yellow/black Mk 1 Cortina is my old Cortina cobra, in the hands of the original owner Jim McComb. The Comaro #17 is Bruce Jenner in the ex Coppins car.
A small side note about the Cortina. Jim told me at the time of purchase that it had the ex Fahey 289 in it, and a photo from the Shell Motor racing yearbook of c68 where Paul is looking at the engine backs this up. However, in another thread, when talking about the Kennedy Capri (which I think is the one shown here), someone spoke of putting that engine into the Capri. Confusing.
That's the ex Fahey Mustang in Rod McElrea's colours #147
These are great. Farrar and Baker raced these 2 Camaros in the South Island Supercar races. Farrar raced this Camaro in some GTX Races and I think this is the car today that is bronze and has Crown Court sponsorship on it. Bakers car is this the beginning of the Big Brother Camaro ?. I have never seen these photos. Help me if I am wrong.
Wow lot of work to change the ex Fahey Mustang back into what it is today.
