Brocky’s Revenge: 1990 Peter Brock B8 Ford Falcon

Tom Walkinshaw Racing (of Jaguar racing fame) became HSV in Australia in 1988, building factory performance Holdens, often based on Commodores. However, from 1980 to 1987, HDT had fulfilled this role, owned by Holden racing legend, Peter Brock. Brocky’s company was dumped in favour of HSV though, and was forced to mend production problems on imported new Ladas to make ends meet. It was hardly befitting of a racing legend, but Brocky had a stroke of luck: Ford had no answer to HSV, and he’d started driving Sierras in the Australian Touring Car Championship. So, with a new company formed of old HDT staff, he set about modifying Fords instead. Find this 1990 Peter Brock B8 Ford Falcon for $12,500 AUD ($9520 USD at the time of writing) in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, via gumtree.com.au
