This is a unique piece of V8 Supercar and Dick Johnson Racing history and has only had two owners after its time at DJR. Originally built as an AU model Ford Falcon V8 Supercar, this car (chassis DJR AU12) was converted to BA bodywork by DJR and became a part of the Bowden Collection of cars before being purchased by its current Queensland-based owner in 2014. Raced by Paul Radisich in Shell Helix colours for DJR as the #18 Falcon during the 2001 (winner of the Perth round of the championship)
