Geoghegan Mustang to feature at Muscle Car Masters

The line-up features the Touring Car Masters, New Zealand's 'Central Muscle Cars', Group N, Group A and Group C tintops, plus the thundering, V8-powered Formula 5000 open wheelers.

For those cars deemed too rare or valuable to risk in racing, hot lap sessions will run across the day. One of the famous vehicles running in these hot laps is the Australian Touring Car Championship winning 1967 Ford Mustang of the late Ian 'Pete' Geoghegan, driven on this special occasion by his son Michael.

"It's an incredible honour and privilege to be given the opportunity to drive one of dad's old race cars, let alone his famous championship winning Mustang," said Michael.

"As a little boy I always dreamt of driving this car, so this really is a dream coming true. The only disappointing thing is that dad isn't around to see it."

Legends confirmed to attend the event this weekend include Allan Moffat, Bob Jane, Leo Geoghegan, Harry Firth, John Harvey, Colin Bond, Allan Grice, John Goss, Kevin Bartlett, Fred Gibson, John French, Jim Richards, John Bowe, Barry Seton, Murray Carter, Des West, Brian Foley, Peter McLeod, Charlie O'Brien, Andrew Miedecke, Warwick Brown, Don Holland, Bob Holden, John Leffler, Graham Moore, Trevor Ashby, John Cotter and John Smith.

Additional attractions include a display of some of the most valuable road-registered muscle cars in the country, including a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the XA Falcon GT, Valiant Charger R/T E49 and Holden LJ Torana GTR XU1, the 30th anniversary of the VH HDT Commodore SS Group 3, as well as a merchandise mall.

The Australian Muscle Car Masters action takes place this Father's Day Sunday, September 2 at Sydney Motorsport Park, Eastern Creek. Tickets are $45 per adult, $30 concession, with kids under 12 admitted free.
