Not to distract anything ...it is still a very good article and the pictures are outstanding!
Yep, absolutely I used that article. I also used 'The Australian Touring Car Championship' book by Graham Howard and Stewart Wilson which was published in 1985 and covered the full history of the ATCC from each year since it began. I also used 'Ford: Falcon, Mustang, Sierra' book by Stewart Wilson which was published in the early 1990s and was about the Falcons, Mustangs, and Sierras that raced in Australia throughout the years. I also used 'Trans-Am Racing 1966-85' book by Albert R. Bochroch which was about the history of the Trans-Am series. I also used several copies of Vintage Motorsport magazine from the mid-1990s that featured the Trans-Am series, plus I also used several other issues of AMC, plus several issues of period Aussie and New Zealand car magazines from the late '60s and early '70s which featured articles and info about this period of racing when it was happening. My desk was bending under the weight!
I have been fascinated by this car since I saw photos of it as a kid, so have been collecting material for most of my life.
