Summary

[edit]
Description

In 1973, this car was put on pole position by John Goss, but due to an accident, never finished the race. John Goss and Kevin Bartlett returned to Bathurst for the 1974 Hardie-Ferodo 1000 in the same car – repainted from yellow to blue after losing Shell as their major sponsor – and proved to have the reliability needed to last through a race marred by driving rain, finishing first. It started on the 2nd row of the grid behind the Toranas of Brock and Bond. Brocks engine failed and Bond was black flagged. 2nd was Bob Forbes and Wayne Negus in a LH Torana L34, 3rd was Jim Richards and Rod Coppins also in a Torana L34

To celebrate the victory, Ford Australia released a limited edition XB Falcon Hardtop in 1975 called the John Goss Special.
