Nice to see it all in colour, back in the day we watched at home on an AWA black and white TV with a screen smaller than todays computers. Leo and Pete Geohagan, legendary racing brothers of whom I was a lifelong fan. I remember Pete doing a celebrity race prior to an F1 GP in Melbourne in the mid 80's. I think they were all in Ford Lasers or Nissan Pulsars. Even with his big frame and late middle age, he still won by a country mile.
1967 the first time that I went to Bathurst. Driven up there by a friend in a new XR V8. Unfortunately I was just 16 and did not even have L plates. The Falcon GTs were truly awesome.
The years following this race was the golden era of Australian motor racing. Australia stood still to watch 2 totally different car which were the mighty GTHO versus the legendary Holden GTR-XU1. The battle between these 2 cars put Bathurst on the world stage for motor racing.
What rubbish, this race was for real cars that real people could buy at their local dealer for a dozen different brands of cars, not a contrived event to promote two manufacturers to the exclusion of all the others. Oh, and where are they now???
Yes those were awesome golden nail biting years, with fierce brand loyalty. Ford man myself first Australian super car gt in only one color gold which was never able to be replicated.

All was to make motor racing safer. Remember, the Australian Touring Car Championship extended into the late 90's, before the "Supercar" rubbish made its appearance.
Back in the day it was the 'Big Three' in one of five classes, that all raced at once, A,B,C,D,E. That is why you will see a big black letter on the bonnet and side. Leo Geohagan led in his RT Charger for more than half the race in 1971, until a faulty earth lead meant he had to be push started in the pits, which meant a 1 lap penalty for each of his stops. In 1972 Ford and Holden had been given such a scare that they cheated and used larger brakes than what was available on the cars in the showroom, and Doug Chivas still raced a Charger to 2nd place. Chrysler's race program had been going for 4 years at this stage, while the other 2 had 8-10 yrs. In 1973 a highly tuned 340 V8 was planned with 4 wheel disc brakes, however 'journo' Evan Greene put the mocha on everything. So Leo went across the ditch to NZ with the Charger and subsequently won everything. Now there are many who will argue, about the cheating or the 340cui Charger with 4 wheel discs, I have even seen articles or videos refuting the 340 on the grounds of weight. However aluminium versions were being custom made in the US. I have met Leo Geohagan many times since about 1990, I was a big fan and Chrysler fanatic and all this information came directly to me, from him, over a cup of tea or two.

Not the GTR or the XY, and ask yourself what was the inspiration for the XA or A9X two doors. Chrysler led the way, right back to the 2 door Pacers. I owned several of each over the years. I'll take a VH RT-E49 any day of the week. Make mine plum crazy with black stripes and a white interior please.

great vid, thanks.... i used to have a 67 Fairmont and it floated around like a boat. horrible handling and cornering.... back then we had to spend money on replacing and modifying everything. better brakes, suspension, rims and tyres, motor work, carby/manifold, extractors and exhaust.... now even a soccer mums vehicle like my Kia Grand Carnival is fast and handles reasonably no mods at all.
I learnt to drive in a 68 Toyota Corona, I couldn't imagine someone trying to go racing in one. Four wheel drum brakes, a 1.6 litre engine, and a gear stick a foot long would have made racing them a real challenge...
The Toyota Corona was after a class win against cars of similar price that also did not have high specifications. Or even just to finish the race well without breaking down was a sales plus compared to some more expensive cars.

An awesome look back with well known Alfa Romeo dealers Mildren and Foley. Is that a young Kevin Bartlett as a member of team Alfa? Imagine racing the Leyland Austin or Hillman Imp... think I saw them in the mix! Thank you :-))
BMC back in 1967. No Leyland for a few years. No Austins ran. All Morris Mini Cooper S cars in Australia. Previous year the Morris Cooper S filled positions 1 to 9 outright. Domination of V8 cars and all others never to be repeated. Austin name reserved for the larger BMC cars in Australia since about 1962. Only the Cooper S models did well. Wikipedia should have how the Imp. Not a memorable result but fast on the twisty flat bits back then.
Ahh, the glory days of Bathurst. On a visit back to Aus in late 1983, I took the VCR tapes back to London with me to view and show the Poms, the race. Before I saw them, some mongrel bastards broke into the new flat and stole a whole bunch of shit. All the other stuff was insured but my precious Bathurst tapes were lost forever. A long time memory of the race that got away. All due to a couple of lowlifes. The halcyon days of proper motor racing. Lakeside, Surfers LUVVED it.
That was awesome , i watched the whole video , amazing , lol , some big names in there , safety wasnt a and priority , old mate changing a tyre and has fuel poured all over him HAHAHA , loved it 😆
Had to turn off the commentary's sound it made no sense when he mentions ie a car number but the film shows you something difrent. Perhaps it was never edited.😮
The Mildren Alfa team was dudded here, they were laps ahead, thanks to good pace and fewer pit stops for fuel, but, of course, it wouldn't do not to have a Ford or Holden win, so a dirty backroom deal was made and we have the result we wanted.....
Also the lead Alfa was even further in front until it picked up a stone in the radiator lapping a slower car heading down conrod, by the time the temp gauge started to soar they were already past the pits.
The Mildren Alfa team wasn't even running in the same class as the Falcons, or the Holdens. Their only competition were two other 1600 GTVs and a Dodge Phoenix of all things.
For better or worse it was back in the day when commentators had complete license to say as they please. The commentator in question doesn't even know the difference between a Corona and a Corolla, LOL.
It was great to watch this again, the variety of makes and the variety of drivers. But the writing was already on the wall, moving away from the original concept. Sure they still had to be sold in a minimum number and from the showroom, but introduction of 'specials' from the GT500 in 1965, the 1275 Cooper S and the start of the V8s in this clip, it had already lost the ideal on the Armstrong 500. I'm not really complaining though. There was fabulous racing and hard luck stories aplenty. It was compulsory viewing on the Sunday of the NSW long weekend.
The days when racing was affordable and for the masses, people were interested because it related to the cars they drove at the time. Now it’s elitist and very discriminating against those without money.

The 302 XT GT would have won in `68 beating the 327 Monaro if it wasnt for a stone hitting the radiator in the Gibson/Seton car. Holden fans use excuses when they lose so i will too. You can take 5 or 6 wins away from Brock for cheating & im not talking about him swapping cars, he used 4V valves when the rules said 2V valves & he won a few by luck not skill.
Alfa would of won in 67 but for a holed radiator lapping a slower car down Conrod, they had passed the pits before the temp gauge rose. Alfa ended 2nd in 67 but beat all the Fords home in 68 coming in 4th and on the lead lap.
@@rodneyjones4890 Really? There are 2V and 4V heads, but no such thing as "2V / 4V valves". I think you're getting confused, as the "V" stands for Venturi, not valves.

Quite a few having a smoke. Don't forget the race was sponsored by Gallaher, a cigarette brand.
Rumor has some drivers would light up while driving, these are true production cars with standard ashtrays, lighters and all the mod cons.

Were these the days when you drove your car to Bathurst and then raced it?
and then drove back to sydney
When they had various classes not just the one like now.
The 6 hour at easter is a good modern interpretation of the early Bathrust 500s with class production car racing and big grids
No roll cages, no fire suits, standard suspension, standard brakes, skinny tyres. When production car racing meant production cars.
Yep, racing in just a pair of jeans and a t shirt.
Standard jack to lift the car up in the pits, to change tyres.
this is better than current races
I can recognise the type and manufacturer of these cars, unlike today when they are unrecognisable clones of each other.
When you pop a wheel and that same wheel cops you one, that's all class.
