2008 - Happy 90th Birthday Harry Firth!
The Hunter Valley Torana Club and Todd Martin put on a top night to celebrate Harry Firth's 90th birthday. And Harry Firth certainly entertained all 300 or so guests with his amazing life of passion for cars, racing and pretty much everything else.
Joining the members of the Hunter Valley Torana Club and in support of the Ronald McDonald House, special guests included Bev Brock, Peter Champion, Fred and Christine Gibson, Max Stahl, Des West, Bruce McPhee, Bob Morris, Paul Dumbrell, Dave McLean, Max Aubert, Jim Hunter, Ned and Bruce Nowacki, Graham Moore and Norm Thoroughgood.
Everyone was thoroughly entertained by Harry's stories of his amazing life. From the Second World War, his time spent in the Middle East, his working in and around motorcyles and motor cars. To his entering and winning the Armstrong 500 4 times as a driver, the development of the XR GT Falcon, LC and LJ Torana, L34 and A9X Toranas and the management of the HDT Dealer Team from 1969 to 1977.
His massive impact on our motor industry has surely earned him the title of the Father of the Aussie Muscle car.
A huge congrats to the Torana Club of the Hunter Valley for putting on a most enjoyable and amazing weekend event!

Terms of sale
Vehicles offered for sale through AMCS are the responsibility of the Owner / Seller. AMCS acts as the Seller's agent and relies fully on the information provided by the Seller of the vehicle in the advertising and sale of each vehicle. AMCS takes no responsibility for the accuracy or veracity of the information provided by the Seller.
When a Buyer wishes to speak to the owner or inspect a vehicle listed for sale on the AMCS web site, AMCS will request a copy of the potential buyers driver's license or a business card along with an email address and phone number. This is provided to the seller as confirmation of the legitimacy of the buyer and the seller is then asked to contact the potential buyer to discuss the car and set up an inspection if required.
The Buyer must make his own enquiries and inspections regarding the condition, authenticity and veracity of the vehicle and any statements made by the Seller, and satisfy themselves in all aspects prior to purchasing the car from the Seller. The Buyer understands there is no warranty or guarantee offered by either the Seller or AMCS.
If upon inspection the Buyer is not satisfied with the car for any reason and does not wish to proceed with the purchase the owner is advised and any personal details are deleted from AMCS records.
If the Buyer is satisfied with the car and a price is agreed to with the Seller a formal tax invoice is prepared by AMCS and sent to the Buyer for payment to the AMCS audited Trust Account. AMCS also receives a formal Bill of Sale from the owner stating the car is free of encumbrance and noting banking details for the transaction. Once AMCS receives the total payment cleared into its trust account a transfer is then made to the Seller.
AMCS receives a fee of 7.5% (incl. GST) of the sale price for assisting the Seller to sell the vehicle. There is no fee or Buyer's premium charged to the Buyer.
