I have to admit my baby poo brown XB's body was rubbish, but you would have had to put a high powered round through the 250 engine block to kill it.
Is that the photo from Wheels magazine where he red lined it in top
going from Sydney to Melb in a GTHO,,,,,,,,Cause you could back then
Mates XY GT got up to 148 mph on the speedo with 5 of us in it.
Also would never redline only got to 4800rpm in any gear.
It did go through a heap of push rods from memory
