One of the co-drivers sent me this email:
The vehicle was purchased from my father and driven there (to Queensland) by the new owner when he moved to Qld to live.
He fitted the towbar so he could tow his sand-drag bike. Also, the engine is a 460 BB Ford, bored to 482.
By the way, the plates are still in Darwin but NOT for sale.
I co-drove with my father in the ’67 Cougar #164 and raced with and against Slim & Tim at our local club meets here in Darwin. RIP lads.
Keep up the fantastic work with your website and maybe people will realise it wasn’t a full-blown “race” but a run/rally due to it being a timed event.
Thanks Lane Marshall.
Great to know that people still care enough to let everyone know what’s going on.
