Bathurst 73 - Moffat(a Canadian I think)/Geoghegan XA hartop won
Bathurst 74 - Goss/Bartlett won in another XA hardtop.
Then there was the famous Ford Dealer Team(headed by Moffat) 1-2 formation finish with the XB hardtops , but I can't remember what year that was.

yes but you failed to list that the torana had won the previous year.. P brocks first of 9 victories on the mountain I might add! (still the most ever) and the reason they didnt win in 73 is because they miscalculated their fueling stops and ran out just at the bottom of the hill before pit lane. the 53 yr old doug chivas had no hope of pushing the torrie up the incline himself and something due to rules the pitcrew couldnt come and give help for 5 minutes... when they got it back up and running brock was almost catching moffat but had a blowout which ended it all.
74 was a non event for torana because of the L34 engines they had developed for the new, bigger V8 SLR 5000's .. apparently their was a piston ring mis-spec in the development program.. which hadnt shown up in the touring car round sprint races. but in the long distance enduro of bathurst the toranas were dropping like flies with massive blowby.. if you watch any of the videos you can see many of them retiring spewing out black smoke..
magpies, crows same thing... I'll support my home team soon as they lose the anchor ;)
btw beyond thunderdome was mad max 3 not 2..
