thanks to those people who responded to my questions re pre '73Bathurst Coupes and Automatic versions.
It would seem that there must be a few auto coupes around in Australia. I'll keep that auto tunnel in mind dattodude ( is it very much bigger or would I achieve the same result
with a big hammer and is there still plenty of room for clutch pedal?). I'll probably fit a Supra g/box if possible.
Still require confirmation re coupe in bathurst before 1973.

Off to Lakeside Historics this weekend.
Cheers,

I'm still trying to track down some people who maybe able to shed some light on the Bathurst coupe. The specs for this car as I have them are 1171cc and an option 1 close ratio 5 speed. This
car was timed at 129 mph down Conrod straight at 11000rpm. The car was built to order in Japan by the factory race team. There were 2 coupes built for the 1973 race. Prior to that sedans had
been raced that had been prepared in Aussie.There may have been some coupes but I havent found any mention of them yet. 73 was the first year of the Group C cars and brake mods were allowed
to what extent I'm still unsure but it is possible they are either Holden or Ford five stud 14" rims. Datsun offered 14" racing rims in their Japanese racing parts brochures but they were 4
stud. For the record here are the results for 1200s at Bathurst. 1970 1st class A 1972 1st class A 1973 1st Class A 1976 1st class A( the car in the photo). 76 was the last year for the
1200s it's supposed successor the 120Y took over from then.

Thanks stirlingmac, I just saw some video which included 1971 Bathurst and had a red 1200 sedan number 1A getting clipped and
ending upside down.
It also showed a white sedan number 61A lining up in 1972. I'd love to see an entry list to see if any coupes were there in
72.
