Along with the previous model we have also received the following.

Holden Torana LX A9X
1979 Amscar Series Amaroo Winner
Alan Moffat

Unusual to have the Moffat name on a 1970's Holden windscreen banner.

The winding down of the Ford Dealer Team component of Allan Moffat's racing operation saw him venture
into the 1979 season without official support from Ford Australia or it's associated companies. This was a situation
potentially more forboding than that which Moffat faced in 1974 following the closure of the Ford works racing team.
The end result saw Allan slim down his touring car program to a single XC Falcon Hardtop and also remove the covers
from his Chrevolet Monza in order to resume participation in sports sedan racing. The 1979 ATCC kicked off with three rounds in March of that year,
with the remaining five rounds spread out until the end of July 1979. In between ATCC rounds, many of the touring car
drivers participated in an alternative run of sprint races known as the AMSCAR Series, based solely at Sydney's Amaroo Park circuit.
The AMSCAR format was based around drivers competing in three sprint races at each round meeting.
Allan decided to participate in the AMSCAR Series, but at a mid 1979 meeting he found himself stranded without a car.
His racing Falcon Hardtop was safely tucked away inside the Allan Moffat Racing transporter that was caught
up in a trucking blockade south of Sydney. The race promoters and Ron Hodgson Racing came to an arrangement that saw Allan Moffat drive a sister car to the
A9X Torana driven by Bob Morris and for this one meeting Allan and Bob pretty much stole the show.
The first sprint race of the day witnessed Allan Moffat take the win from Bob Morris. The second race saw the Moffat A9X Torana exit in a cloud of smoke
by virtue of a loose oil filter. The third and final race of the day saw the two Ron Hodgson Racing Toranas ahead of the field with Bob Morris leading,
however a last lap lunge by Allan Grice saw Allan Moffat displaced from second place on the run to the chequered flag.
