Description:

This is the history-making #5 Pepsi Max Crew/Ford Performance Racing Falcon FG that won the 2013 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 in the hands of Mark Winterbottom and Steve Richards and is now for sale, including the V8 5.0 litre race engine.
 
One of only 14 Falcons to win the famous Bathurst classic over the race’s long history - and one of just 10 to survive today - the FPR 1214 chassis has been restored to its 2013 Bathurst-winning state.  This car claimed the team’s first Bathurst win and the first for a factory-entered Ford in 40 years since Allan Moffat and Ian Geoghegan had won in a Ford Motor Company-run Falcon XA GT in 1973.

At the moment it is the only Bathurst-winning Ford Falcon on the open market, making it undoubtedly a sought-after racecar to purchase.

Including in the sale of the car will be supporting paperwork including original FPR 1214 setup sheets and driver notes, the all-important CAMS Log Book plus a special hardcover one-off colour book documenting the car’s full racing history assembled by the V8 Sleuth team, who have helped compile the history of this car.

The car will have the same engine number Ford V8 that powered it on race day at Bathurst in 2013 with number-correct 2013 Bathurst components fitted where appropriate and possible.

AND...  should the new owner ever come to Australia, they will have access to 2020 event passes or Tickford Racing hospitality suite access (conditions apply), a full tour of the Tickford Racing facility in Campbellfield, Victoria and a chance for a ride in a current Mustang Supercar at a ride day.

The FPR 1214 chassis was the fifth Car of the Future chassis logged with Supercars (chassis V8SC 005) and was raced in the V8 Supercars Championship between 2013 and 2015 by Mark Winterbottom, Steve Richards, David Reynolds and Dean Canto. It was also tested by Bathurst victors Will Davison and Chaz Mostert.

A race-winning car in both the main Supercars Championship and Dunlop Super2 Series, the car won three races in 2013 in the hands of Winterbottom at Winton, Hidden Valley and, of course, Bathurst alongside Richards.

The win ended a 10 year Bathurst drought for both Winterbottom and FPR and gave Richards his third Bathurst win and first in 14 years (since 1999).

Winterbottom took the car to a total of 13 podium finishes in the 2013 season and finished fourth in the championship. He took four poles in the car in 2013 at Symmons Plains, Townsville and Phillip Island (twice).

Its racing career amounted to 77 championship races with three wins, 13 podium finishes, 20 top five finishes and 42 top 10 finishes.
