HISTORY:
Peter Brock and Jim Richards won their second successive Bathurst 1000 driving this Holden Dealer Team A9X Torana. It was Brocks fourth and final Bathurst win in a Torana.
While some believe the 1978 and 1979 cars to be one and the same, they were actually two different cars, easily distinguishable by their interior colours - black for the 1978 winner and beige for the 1979 winner.
Brock and Richards simply owned the 1979 race. Brock took pole position by two seconds, the #05 Torana led each and every one of the 163 laps, it cut five minutes off the race record and finished a staggering six laps clear of second-place - a record that will never be beaten.
Just to underline his dominance and the brilliance of the HDT A9X Torana, Brock broke the lap record on the very last lap of the race and scorched to the chequered flag in 2m21.1s. It goes down in the history books as perhaps the greatest single lap ever completed of the Mount Panorama circuit.
In a sign of how special the car was to him, Brock retained ownership of the 1979 Bathurst-winning Torana until 1993, the only race car from his career that he kept for any period of time beyond its useful racing life.
Supplied in a hinged crystal lid display case.
