Hi people,
If you look at the Australian icon/classic greatest model in our motoring history, there is one thing that has been the yardstick for all of them. I am talking the big ‘3’ Bathurst specials that started back in the sixties (GT, PACER, GTS, RT, XU1, etc), and continued with the Brock HDT cars and finally HSV with the 1992 Group A). Take a look at the obscene prices that these cars are fetching today, which all have a ‘Factory’ Bathurst connection. What car since the 1993 V8 supercar formula was introduced, has a showroom connection, apart from the badge and the body shape? The question I got for you is, if a HO 1, 2 or 3 asking price is over $500,000, or a GTS Bathurst 327/350 asking price is $300,000, E49 and XU1 over $100,000 (maybe more?), can you see any HSV since the Group A, or any FPV command the obscene amounts of the true Bathurst specials in the future?
