Scotty's Shed: Maiden Voyage of FC Holden Race Car

This is the first time out for Dad's FC race car. This is a totally fresh build, and the anxiety levels were high.

    There's more enjoyment to be had from this video than watching a V8 Supercars race.

    Roadracing, flat tracking is bikes on dirt. Do up lap belts then shoulder straps.

    I had never heard of racing an FC or FE until I bumped into a bloke at the Holden Trafalgar Museum who said he used to race one in Tassie. He is the bloke who nearly ran his green HQ off the Tasman Bridge when it was knocked over by a ship. He still has that HQ that was only new at the time of the accident... quite a character. Nice looking car, the FC/FE although not quite aerodynamic.

    Good Aussie fun, you must be very proud mate. Great job. Look's just like Yellow Cab orange. Did you see their old one at Deshen St in Brissie. Love it. GMH lives on, Grey motor and all.

    Yellow Cabs Brisbane was owned by Neil Ford back in the '80s when he decided to recreate an FE & an FC pair of taxis. We supplied parts for both cars. Thanks for letting us know at least one of those cars has survived.

    Car looks great. In these days of rare decent FC's it almost seems criminal to race one.

    Has to have Grey power & original crash box under Group N rules. He says Grey has "Twin Webers" which isn't ideal but easier to tune for most folks. You're 10 years ahead of me. I paid big money for my first FC back in '78 when I was turning 16. She set me back 30 bucks! Have always loved them, still have 2 good solid sedans & 5 rusty wrecks including 2 utes.

    How would that car go if it had a 179 motor with a 149 head on it ? In the seventies you couldnt catch them [ FC to EK's had some of those engines tricked up by the Lads in that era ]

    I have one I'd consider selling. You'll need a fair chunk even if I pull my engine out of it. Has ball joints & discs, EK Hydramatic transmission tunnel, VK Borg Warner 5 speed on a fabricated rear crossmember, powder coated front subframe, locked HR rear end with the wider drums & about a zillion bucks worth of other goodies. A stock Blue Meanie couldn't stay with it. Leave a reply if you're serious about a good solid FC.

    The man is living his dream, how many if us can say we have done that? He isn't racing anyone, he's pacing himself, and I bet he his smiling like the Cheshire cat.
