The Moffat/Bond XB/XCs, TruBlu, Greenstuf, the DJR EB. Ambrose's current BA looks good too, as do the 888 cars.

Dick Johnson and John Bowe's Shell FAI EB Falcons. They were great.

The 1977 XC Bathurst cars of Moffart & Bond.
Then I was younger the duels of Moffarts Mustang, Norm Beechey's yellow HT Monaro & Bob Janes Camaro at Calder Park in the early seventies.

Greens Tuf XE for me, the noise that thing made made the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Damn shame the way it ended up thou. An oddball one the Black Cenovis Falcon Moffats team raced at Bathurst in about 92/3, it changed gears right in front of us and sounded different to every other Falcon on the track

Greens Tuff XE. This thing was a weapon. Oh what could have been!!
Moffat Boss Mustang. Just about the toughest car put on the track.
Moffat Federation Insurance #25 XC. Moff always had well presented cars and this was the best.
Moffat Ford Dealers #9 XB. I actually think it looked better as an XB than an XC.
888 Racing BA. The best of the current crop.

In no patricular order:
Greenstuf XE - give a jellyfish a horn!
Fury's Bluebird
DJR's last RS500's - rocket powered rollerskates (to qoute Bowe)
Pete's Mustang - love "that" Oran Park shot
Brock's A9X & Day Glo Commonwhore
In-fact most of the final Group C big bangers were horn.

Do "furrin'" touring cars count?

My favourite has always been the Volvo station wagons that got about the BTCC in the mid 90s. Why? Because they looked hilarious and at the time, the BTCC was just about the most entertaining form of motorsport around, IMHO.

I have that exact model of the DJR RS500, it's still the best looking Sierra ever for me.

There are too many to mention really, Seton's skyline of 87" and the Sierra Cosworths, JPS black and gold BMW M3 of Tony Longhurst, R32 Skylines just to name a few.
