This really has been a labour of love for the current owner who bought the car in 2005. Although he knew it had some sort of racing history, the details remained a mystery. Then a mate was reading Australian Muscle Car magazine and saw the number plate of the car featured in the magazine. The mystery was no longer and soon the owner was talking about restoring this special car.
Five years on, lots of research with ex-Ford special vehicles people and lots of money later we now have this magnificent collection reunited. And the story gets even better. The owner managed to track down the exact Ford D series transporter which had been purchased from the Big O by Murray Carter. The truck runs a worked Cleveland and 4 speed manual gearbox.
At the GT Nationals, Larry Ormsby was reunited with the car he drove and thrilled the audience by firing up the GTHO and revving the engine to rapturous applause. There were plenty of smiles all round.
