Will is still chasing the history of his car, but to date he has found out -
Thorn Red is the colour used for Allan Moffat’s race car - confirmed by the man himself - and it was named after his race mechanic.
Ford Australia have confirmed this paint code.
The car was purchased new through City Ford, of Rockdale, Sydney, which was the major sponsor of Allan Moffat Racing in 1975.
The car originally had a John Goss style fibreglass front spoiler - which has sadly not survived the past 28 years - and had gold painted 6inch 12-slot wheels - which have become rusty and will be refurbished.
