No, the golden Holden in 1980 was driven by Paul Gulson and the incomparable Ian Geoghegan. According to Fatty's brother Leo, who crewed that year, "we qualified 12th, didn't pass a car all day, and when everyone else fell down finished second". Apparently they were selling the car post-race, so didn't want to mark up the paint job, so they didn't put too many stickers on it.... and missed out on a shedload of conditional prizemoney! Ian shadowed the winning 05 car for many laps, albeit two laps down, in his penultimate Hardie drive.
The Auckland Gold Bullion car in 1985 was a HDT/Perkins-built car for NZ zillionaire Ray Smith, who ran with Hulme. As SF mentioned, the car was campaigned in 1986 by Graeme Crosby, first in the brown and gold colours, sans much of the stickering, then white, then Bob Jane Orange... Croz was the star of 1986, proving a quotable in-car commentator (commentator;" seems the tyres are having a hard time of it: what tyres are you running?" Croz:"round black rubber ones"),and a talented driver. He really should've had more drives here.
