Few moments in Australian motorsport history hit as hard as the Bathurst 1977 One-Two Finish. The sight of Allan Moffat and Colin Bond steering their Ford Falcon XC Coupes across the line together has become part of Aussie racing folklore — replayed, retold and remembered by generations.
This tribute video and the exclusive artwork that goes with it have been created by Sports Cave, home of premium sports wall art for fans who want more than just décor — they want a memory on their wall.
We’ve rebuilt the 20-second tribute video from scratch, leaning into the nostalgia and emotional punch that Bathurst fans know well. And to honour the moment, we designed a limited-edition Bathurst 1977 One-Two Finish wall art print featured proudly in our Motor Racing Wall Art Collection.
1. The Story Behind the One-Two Finish
The 1977 Hardie-Ferodo 1000 delivered one of Bathurst’s greatest chapters. Allan Moffat, teamed with Formula 1 star Jacky Ickx, led the pack while Colin Bond and co-driver Alan Hamilton backed him up in the #2 Falcon.
As Moffat’s car battled brake issues in the final laps, Bond could’ve overtaken — every fan knows it. But instead, in a moment that still sparks debate in pubs today, Bond tucked in behind Moffat for a side-by-side formation finish that instantly became legend.
It’s this loyalty, drama and sheer motorsport theatre that made the ’77 finish one of the most famous moments ever printed, televised and now — immortalised in motorsport wall art.
2. Why the 1977 Finish Still Resonates With Aussies
Bathurst isn’t just a race — it’s a ritual. It's mates getting together before sunrise, the smell of barbecues, the roar of engines bouncing off Mount Panorama, and the memories that stick with us.
Moments like the one-two finish became stories passed down through families. That’s why fans feel such a strong connection to anything celebrating the 1977 race.
That’s why our Bathurst 1977 One-Two Finish print remains one of the most requested pieces in the entire Sports Wall Art range.
3. Behind the Scenes of the Tribute Video
When we created the tribute video, we wanted fans to feel something the moment it starts — nostalgia, adrenaline and that “Goosebumps. Every. Time.” reaction every Bathurst fan knows.
Vintage colours, grainy textures, authentic track audio and small details from the original footage were meticulously rebuilt to honour the era.
The video’s final frame transitions into our exclusive One-Two Finish artwork, a design now central to our Motor Racing Wall Art Collection.
