Bob Stansfields Nissan Navara stadium truck. I think it went to Dave Mendham in Narromine. Not sure where it is now. Spaz knew this car intimately.

The Racecos of Terry Rose and Doug McMillan in Firestone colours would have to be in the top ten.

Note the safety gear in the above pics, especially the driving suits and seat belts (or lack of) in the dune buggy. No firewall over the jerry can fuel tank!
Guess what...the owners are still alive! No CAMS involved!

Craig Martins rivvy is in a shed in Adelaide. Hasn't been out for a few year and not sure when it will be again. He is the one man I have always wanted to see race. Heard many many a good story told about him and they all sound like he was an absolute gun.

Some cars from the hunter valley that rate a mention Wes Shadlows Shadrac buggy the car Neville Boyes got his start in with its 2 point something litre VW engine  with great big idf webers on it and big stinger exhaust ( read megaphone!!!!! none of these pussy mufflers cams flap on about ) , always sounded great . The three quick silver rivmasters of Harold Gill, Neville Boyes and Kelvin Page I think from memory all three won  australian titles at some stage in the teams history . Tony Guys mid mounted 8v buggy that later became hedley's no mufflers there either in its early days.

Nott to mention the corvette would be a sin. Did rather well in an early Griffith race, maybe one of the first tin tops in an outright position, if my memory is right

Or was it a Southern Cross? I think OME had a few SCs at one stage.

I agree Allan and I don't think Kieth Poole ever had a Funco.

I think the funco they were thinking of was the Reg Owens one and its cousin with the corvair motor in it. dam! I should know the name?
