I am assembling a display of Warwick Yellow Monaros and Silverfox XWGTs as an appreciation of the race driving carreer of Bruce McPhee for the 2009 Musclecar Masters at Eastern Creek Raceway.

As you know 2009 marks the 40th anniversary of the Falcon GTHO, Bruces 2nd place finish (with co-driver Barry Mullholland) a year after his victory in a Warwick Yellow Monaro (both achievements as a privateer as the factory teams were becoming most dominant!), the release of the upgraded HT "350" Monaro and so on. I see the Musclecar Masters as a fantastic venue for our contribution to this anniversary. To have any number of Warwick Yellow Monaros and Silverfox GTs together on display is a rare event and to have them on display at this event will be special.

As of today I have I have half a dozen cars including my own available for the display.

I have located the 46D Silver Fox XW GTHO which Bruce drove to second place in 1969. It is currently in the final stages of a rotisserie restoration. The owners are very committed to completing the car and bringing it to the event.

I have made an approach to the Bathurst Motor Museum inviting them to add their 13D Warwick Yellow Bruce McPhee tribute car to the display. I have had a good response and am confident that this car will be available.

I have had dialogue with Phil Harrison, Event Organiser regarding this and we have his support.

I am hoping to get as many as ten of each model (doesn't matter if the Monaros are not 'Bathurst" or the GTs not "Hos") but they do have to be Warwick Yellow or Silverfox.

I would like to find some more cars for the display.

Can you help?

Do you own or know anyone with a Warwick Yellow Monaro or Silverfox XWGT (186/307 GTS, GTs. Replicas OK as long as they are correct).
Must be in good shape.

If so please contact me.

Any leads or info info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Nick Moran.

Maybe so bundy, but the driver is genuine :)

Great idea Silverfox, I hope you pull it off with a whole swag of cars.
It will look fantastic, and be a fitting tribute while Bruce is still well enough to enjoy it.



Cheers,

Mick

Thanks Bundy and Mick.
Bruce is going well at the moment and is being well looked after by his family but his overall health will dictate whether he comes to this years Musclecar Masters.
The photo was taken a couple of months ago at Bruces family farm just North of Sydney. The GT Club arranged a run to the farm and a over a hundred people came with around 60 Monaros and GTs. Appropriately led through the front gate by a Warwick Yellow Bathurst Monaro and a Silverfox XWGT. Bruce and his family were blown away. It was a fantastic day arranged in appreciation of Bruce.
We originally wanted to invite him to a Club meeting as a guest speaker. We made an approach but we was not well enough to do that. So if he could not come to the Club we thought it would be nice to bring the Club to Him. The family was approached and they were thrilled. It was a great day.

Anyway back to the main subject.
I really need to get a good number of correct colour cars so please, if you have info, contact me.
THANKS
Nick.

Hi
Just an update on the display. I have made good progress and now have five Silverfox XWGTs and One Monaro confirmed.
I have to admit I thought that the Silverfox Falcons would be harder to find. So I again ask, if you own or know of a Warwick Yellow HKGTS Monaro. Modified or stock. Replica or geniune is OK. Please help if you can.
Thank you
Nick.

Hi
We now have six Silverfox XWGTs and two Warwick Yellow Monaros for Sunday.
Hope you all enjoy our little display at the masters and thanks to all who have helped with it.

Cheers
