Classic Carlectables 1/18 Ford XB Falcon GT 1976 Bathurst Murray Carter/Ray Winters #18

The 1976 Bathurst 1000 was the first time the race had genuinely attracted international interest, mainly due to the entry of Australia’s own three-time former World Champion Jack Brabham, who had teamed with the legendary Stirling Moss driving a Holden L34 Torana. Other internationals including expatriate Australian Vern Schuppan partnering Allan Moffat and long distance ace John Fitzpatrick who partnered wit Bob Morris in the eventual winner Holden L34 Torana. Practice was good for the Ford XBs with Moffat in pole position with an incredible time of 2 min 25 sec. Goss was there too, with fifth fastest, while Carter was back in 14th position. On race day there were only three Ford XB Falcons in the race driven by Murray Carter and Ray Winter, Alan Moffat/ Vern Schuppan and John Goss/ Jim Richards. The Carter Winter Ford XB Falcon GT blew its engine after 148 laps and was credited with the 19th outright, Goss/ Richards finished 31st  and Moffat/ Schuppan retired after 87 laps in what was a highly controversial finish.
