TICKFORD is partnering with motor-racing legend Allan Moffat to produce a special edition Mustang that commemorates the 40th anniversary of one of the most memorable moments in Australian motorsport.

The Tickford Bathurst ’77 Special is a limited edition Mustang GT that pays homage to the Ford Falcon XC Hardtops that Moffat and team-mate Colin Bond drove to a famous 1-2 in the 1977 Hardie-Ferodo 1000.

Externally, the Mustang sports a modern interpretation of the Moffat Ford Dealers coupes’ liveries and will be painted white and fitted with a full decal kit and replica rear wing. Gold-painted 20-inch alloys complete the visual overhaul.

“Our mantra is Performance driven by passion and with the very special enhancements we are making to all the main areas of each Tickford Bathurst ’77 Special, this project has given us the chance to turn that into reality.”

Moffat’s famous ’77 Bathurst victory could have been very different had Bond ignored his teammate’s demands to hold station. While Moffat crossed the line first after 163 laps, his car had been suffering braking issues and Bond was ordered to stay slightly behind to give Moffat the honours.
