15 years after Peter Brock died, his fateful Daytona Coupe is restored in a museum | ABC Australia

I'm not emotionally caught up in this tough loss, but thinking as a man for his good mate - you did right and well by him.

I can’t believe Peter died just a few days after Steve Irwin. It was that week in 2006 that we lost two Aussie legends

Peter Brock was a certifiable wheelman & racing journeyman. Surely one of the best racing drivers , Not just in Australia yet the entire world. Much love & respect from America .

Such a hard thing to see, the vehicle that took our great mate and idol away. After all these years, it was only a month or so ago, i watched the video of the last stage, before the fatality happened. One hell of a lump in the throat, but we always must remember, Brocky would have loved it. Racing, Speed, Fans etc etc, he enjoyed the Daytona, it was just bloody unfortunate that it was this car that ended it all. So dam pleased to see Peter Champion take the Daytona into his hands and not left to become bits and pieces and i bet my bottom dollar, no expense would have been spared in the restoration. Like Brocky, Peter Champion is also an absolute legend, not only a great mate of Brockys, but thanks to his invite, up to The Brock Experience, in Yeppoon, i was, like most who visited the big shed, i was absolutely blown away to what Pete had built inside the big shed. Just one fellows dream, one fellows input, what hew put together up there in Yeppoon was absolutely dedication to his great, late mate, Peter Brock. Legends all around. ;-)

An amazing coincidence about the Cobra Daytona was that the original Cobra Daytona cars were designed in the US about 1964 by an American car racing and engineering legend also named Peter Brock. Searching YouTube for Pete Brock Cobra Daytona should show the story behind the original sixties racing cars now worth multi millions.

100% agree thankyou Peter for restoring it ....

Ironic that Peter Brock Aus died in a car designed by Peter Brock USA for Shelby American....

RIP Brocky. Thanks for all that you've done PC.

Rebuild was the proper call. Well done.

I cried when Brocky died. I’m sure a lot of us did. I know Peter liked to support local businesses, but I’ll tell you, I’ve watched plenty of footage of that car, and I reckon it was twitchy as….

Great job Mate!! The most Respectfull thing you could have done.

PB. Legend.

It's nuts that he was coming 2nd at 61yo

RIP Brocky. An absolute Aussie LEGEND 🇦🇺 from one if your kiwi fans 🤙

I remember that day when all the Brock and motor racing fans were driving around with their headlights on including me. We tooted and waved when we passed and got the thumbs up. It was a surreal day. The end of a true legend.

we never forget them i was born in 2004 2 years before his death i was involved as well the number 05 we never forget them in for next couple of years

So glad we still have this car. Great job.

" must have been " slopping camber" on the corner downhill slope !" ( to give " opposite lock does not work ! )

I remember where I was on the day of his passing. Was in brissy at the time. Couldn’t believe it.

Brocky you were just amazing
