What's the deal with this car? Is it the hotrod from hell or just another gordge car? Whichever, it's a nice looking car.

Yes now Owned by Bruce Williams.The original Hot Rod From Hell.With Demon/CSL Toyota fitment 4 Tony Fabish . Yes.... And no. The car was fitted with the CSL Toyota combination for myself and James Ford- and Demon did a lot of the fabrication work while the car was in Palmy. Unfortunately, overseas work commitments meant I couldn't race it last season and left the car with James. After Tony had a drive which was meant to help with setup, it became apparent he still had a thirst to compete, and he raced it last season. James had a new topgear chassis built and the CSL engine from the Gordge car, along with a fair bit of the running gear was removed. The engine was freshened by Otorahonga Motor Preps, whilst the gordge was pushed in the back corner for a rainy day.... The decision was made to then sell the Gordge chassis and Bruce purchased it as a basic roller with a heap of spares. I believe Bruce has built up the engine using parts sourced from the States, and has done an awesome job presenting the car. This car has great history, and I was a bit sad we had to sell it. But it looks like it went to a good home. Cheers Rick Taylor |

The Gordge "Hot Rod from Hell". This car hasn't had a whole lot of success in individual events, but it has certainly been a top teams racer.    |
