Saw this on LS1.
1979 HDT VB Commodore (Peter Brock's Prototype) http://www.musclecarstables.com.au/details.php?id=634 That's a crap colour combination, what was he thinking!

Didn't Brock do a few Falcons at one point around the time of the EA?

Peter Brock modified EA series Falcon S and Ghias from 1988 to 1990, renaming them the B8. The engine modifications included extractors, special exhaust, blueprinted ignition, a dyno tune and a free-flow air intake. The engine power increased to a respectable 164.5 kW. Suspension-wise, the car received new springs, new shocks, uprated anti-roll bars, modified strut mounts and spring pads, and suspension bush tweaks. Externally, the car received 16” wheels, a lower body kit all round and a subtle spoiler. A later version called the SE was introduced with extra options.

I haven't read this thread bar the title, bit surely the Tickford FTE T3 TL50 is one of the rarest, if not the rarest? Only 3 ever made IRC.

I saw a lime green one once parked at central Sydney train station, and the pictures don,t do it justice. it was very nice. http://www.leylandp76.com/general/force7/force7.html Last edited by Pis-ton broke; 03-07-2014 at 06:21 PM. |

If it is the Prototype as advertised that may explain the VB/VC mixing of parts. Brocky was still in the good books with GMH at the time so probably had access to all sorts of goodies including yet to be released grills and tail lights....

HAHAHAHA.
I think only 2 XB GT Coupes were made with Lime Glaze. I like it myself. Probably wasnt that popular amongst Fords because Holdens were plenty in a similar colour. |
