Nice to see FE and FC’s being brought back to life. And a HR ball joint front end would be so much better than the old king pins. Boomer the cat is a star. Great shed and a hoist too, awesome.

I lived close to Warwick farm NSW and lots of locals had race cars, a car that was close to this was Steve Hatchers FC who was from Boundry Rd Liverpool Cnr Gill Avenue,, it was i think a repco grey or a hot 186,, orange, and another was herb taylors beige EH race car from Moorebank,, FC needs a motor,,, go see hurcules engines.

You idiot, he spent a lot of money on that car and you don't just go hammer it. You get a feel for it and make sure the oil stays in etc.

Hello Scott. You may have heard a bit of a legend about an FC Group N sedan which held the record for it's class at Lakeside International Raceway up until 1992. I have that car.

Mate , What engine and what gear box has it got ? I have had 4 of them you buy one running for $100 not running $10 back when I was 18 and 19 now 72 and I still like them
@johnbrooks95234 ай бұрын
Has to have Grey power & original crash box under Group N rules. He says Grey has "Twin Webers" which isn't ideal but easier to tune for most folks. You're 10 years ahead of me. I paid big money for my first FC back in '78 when I was turning 16. She set me back 30 bucks! Have always loved them, still have 2 good solid sedans & 5 rusty wrecks including 2 utes.

Is this car for sale ?
@johnbrooks95234 ай бұрын
I have one I'd consider selling. You'll need a fair chunk even if I pull my engine out of it. Has ball joints & discs, EK Hydramatic transmission tunnel, VK Borg Warner 5 speed on a fabricated rear crossmember, powder coated front subframe, locked HR rear end with the wider drums & about a zillion bucks worth of other goodies. A stock Blue Meanie couldn't stay with it. Leave a reply if you're serious about a good solid FC.

Yellow Cabs Brisbane was owned by Neil Ford back in the '80s when he decided to recreate an FE & an FC pair of taxis. We supplied parts for both cars. Thanks for letting us know at least one of those cars has survived.

I had never heard of racing an FC or FE until I bumped into a bloke at the Holden Trafalgar Museum who said he used to race one in Tassie. He is the bloke who nearly ran his green HQ off the Tasman Bridge when it was knocked over by a ship. He still has that HQ that was only new at the time of the accident... quite a character. Nice looking car, the FC/FE although not quite aerodynamic.

How would that car go if it had a 179 motor with a 149 head on it ? In the seventies you couldnt catch them [ FC to EK's had some of those engines tricked up by the Lads in that era ]
