HDT Arrives With Force - The First Factory Triumph
In 1969, the Holden Dealer Team officially opened its racing operations - and immediately conquered Bathurst. Driving the brand-new HT Monaro GTS 350, Colin Bond and co-driver Tony Roberts captured the #44D car's first victory, finishing 52 seconds ahead of Bruce McPhee's Ford Falcon GTHO.
The HDT's dominance was absolute. Fielding three Monaro GTS 350s, the team finished 1st (Bond/Roberts) and 3rd (Peter Brock/Des West). This race also marked the Bathurst débuts of two future legends - Peter Brock with Harry Firth's HDT squad and Allan Moffat with the Ford Works Team - igniting the tribal Ford versus Holden rivalry that would define Australian motorsport for the next decade.
Notably, 1968 winner Bruce McPhee switched from Holden to Ford after not receiving factory support, highlighting the deepening tribal war. The GTS 350's American-sourced 350 cubic inch Chevrolet V8 replaced the earlier 327, delivering the extra power needed for victory at Bathurst. However, Holden's locally-engineered V8 program would follow shortly after, marking Australia's transition toward domestic muscle car engineering.
