The Colt Galant represents an entirely new car from Japan, a modestly sized model designed to rival popular-priced rivals. It adopts a single overhead cam arrangement and hemispherical combustion chambers, signaling advanced engine design for its class.
A detailed test of the Colt Galant notes a 1,289cc four cylinder engine with overhead cam, five main bearings, and 4.222 final drive. It praises the steering, independent front suspension, and hydraulic brakes, while lauding the interior, safety features, and overall ride at up to 70 mph. The report emphasizes quick gear changes, light steering, and strong acceleration, with favorable notes on handling and road manners.
Gold Cup at Oran Park will run as two heats and a final due to large entry. Alan Horsely says the split will stage a strong field led by Allan Moffat in a Ford Mustang and include Jim McKeown, Bill Brown, and Geoghegan chasing the Porsche, with 33 cars in the twin heats and Toby Lee Trophy round to follow.
