[quote C36N83FOIEA9FCE6]Did a 240 run at Bathurst one year on radials? Think it was the year of the Falcon XW GT HO-1.  May of ran the whole race without changing tires. What's your records say here MO? Volvo advertised the 240 as having 940 HP brakes that I thought was very smart.[/quote] JB007, that was in 1979 when a stock-standard, road-registered 242 GT running on skinny Uniroyal street radials competed in the Bathurst 1000 during the A9X Torana era, driven by racing veterans David McKay and Spencer Martin. Although criticised by many (including Peter Williamson on Racecam!) for being a mobile chicane, the Volvo had a trouble-free run to finish fifth in the 3.0-litre class and 20th outright. That put a cork in a few critics.
