1973 Bathurst 2nd Place LJ XU1 Torana Brock/Chivas
Preorders are called for the above model in 1:18 scale.
It is model number 18450 and will be priced at $230.
This model is due for a release of 2500 in the 3rd quarter of 2012.
The story:The HDT pit was telling Doug Chivas, then in the lead, to stretch his fuel as far as possible but at the top of the mountain the car ran out of fuel.
Chivas was able to tiptoe the dead car down the mountain and with sight of the pits tried to clutch start the car, but 100m from his pit he was forced to push. With metres left the officials allowed the pit crew to push the car.
Peter Brock relieved the exhausted Chivas. Brock had dramas also with tyres and track debris, he too had to limp to the pits.
After replacing both tyres Brock rejoined the race, eventually finishing the race in second position, a worthy result when almost half the field failed to finish on what proved to be a testing race.
