The ultimate expression of an Australian muscle car, the 1979 Bathurst-winning Holden Torana A9X of Peter Brock and Jim Richards is one of the greatest Holden race cars of all time. The sleek two-door coupe, with its distinctive bonnet scoop and throaty five-litre V8 power plant, turned on one of the most dominant performances ever seen at Mt Panorama.
Distinguishable from its sister teams cars by its beige interior, in an era where production cars were built into Bathurst racers rather than being built from the ground-up, this 400 plus horsepower Torana was the best of the best from the famous Holden Dealer Team. This mighty car dominated Mt Panorama like no other. Starting from pole position, it won by a record six-lap margin and led start to finish over the 163 lap distance. Just to prove its dominance, Brock also broke the lap record on the very last lap to underline just how brilliant this car was.
