Brock 84 Bathurst Winner Starts up

[@Bluepilled-c5t]

Doesn’t look dated at all and it’s 2021. Classic design, and the livery is just gorgeous. The best.

[@co1088]

The real days of Australian touring cars eh!? Love this car!

[@matthewlevett968]

My favourite Brock Commodore,still looks n sounds awesome, Aussie pride

[@brucelamberton8819]

The "day-glo" HDT Commodores were one of the best touring car liveries ever.

[@Bluepilled-c5t]

The best ever, not one of. 2021 and it still looks good.

[@johnbrooks9523]

@@Bluepilled-c5t Absolutely correct! The Group A VKs had the silly looking mailbox grilles which never looked right. The Group C DayGlow VKs were easily the sharpest looking race cars we ever saw.

What a car.....what a driver.....RIP Peter Brock

[@martinscrapp7166]

Ahh, the sounds of the glory days of Australian motor racing. I'm just glad that I was a teenager late 70's early 80's and got to watch this stuff live on telly! Can't be bothered to watch it now, sadly.

[@MAte925]

We'll have to make the most of it before greenies won't let out and about!

[@alanwall961]

I was there in 84, watched them cross the finish line 1&2 brilliant

[@peterhoare3219]

I bought a BIG photo back in 84, got it framed, autographed by all four drivers, of the finish. It's my most cherished possession. I had to watch that race on TV in Mackay. 😡 But I did pay to go to a special dinner for Brockys last race in 97 at The Goldfields at top of Conrod. Through his company 'Advantage International' There was about 30/40 of us who'd paid $950 for three nights, all meals, accommodation, exclusive access to the team, dinner with Brock, all that. Best time of my life! Bev, family, all the pit crew, whole shebang. It was FREAKY looking around the table. I stayed there the whole weekend, got to drive around the track, whenever, in my car, etc I got his second last ever autograph of his 'official' career on a HUGE poster later that night around midnight. Some FUCK got in behind me. 🤬🤬 Rarely, for Brocky, he was UTTERLY exhausted looking like he was on the verge of collapse. It'd been a LOOOOONG day for him. Geees I miss him....😥

ME TOO! We possibly had a beer together. Didn't it sound INCREDIBLE!!!!

[@Steveaustin007]

I told the HDT mechanic in Melbourne-2008 this was the best Holden to win Bathurst - and he replied- 1984 is the car that engine had parts ahead of its time . The rest of the conversation nobody would believe.

[@milli5486]

Love to hear the rest of the conversation if you’re happy to share & have the time . Thanks .

[@Steveaustin007]

@@milli5486 have a look at the 1982 ATCC - one driver caught cheating in 6 rounds and disqualified and would have won the championship - that Scrutineer lost his job at cams . The same driver in 1978 disqualified for using illegal - non homologation parts . 1988 rd 1 ATCC disqualified for non homologation parts to his engine . Sprayed intercooler with fire extinguisher in 1989. Illegal at Bathurst 79 -84 & 87 . So he got caught cheating a lot -all in the history books - but reporters know about these 3 years and put their heads in the sand . Same mechanics 79 & 84 - 87 MW - came over - all set me straight about what really happened.

Drool🤤😁 dream car to own

[@RUSSty1975]

The car of my dreams.

[@Holden308]

Was this the car Peter Champion owns? If so then its not the Brock and Perkins #05 Commodore. Its actually the #25 car raced by John Harvey and David Parsons. Unfortunately Champion tries to pass it off as the 1984 Bathurst winner. Brocky's actual car resides at the National Motor Racing Museum at Bathurst.....

[@Motorsportsinjapan]

Looking at the paint chips on the front, I think this is the actual one although can't say 100% just from this video, would need to see the front better. The easiest giveaway on the real 05 is part of the 'Rocktober' touched up with black marking pen.

[@Mob01971]

They were still running the 308 in 84, the 304 came out with the Group A regulations of 85. Good to see this is the original too, not the 25 car painted as 05
