The Moits Racing WOG007 cortina is back and better than ever – now with boost!
- Boris Viskovic

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 10 years or so, you would have heard of the Moits Racing team and their stable of good-looking and very quick race cars. Their history on the race track goes further back than that, though – all the way to the early 80s – and it all started with this very car, the legendary ‘WOG-007’ TD Cortina of Michael Moit.

“I bought the car in 1981 and had Bob Purnell fit the V8 almost immediately,” Michael says.

If you do a search on the internet, you can find videos of the Cortina popping wheelstands at the Oran Park drags thanks to a combination of very soft front suspension, traction compound and a tough engine.

The Cortina was originally fitted with a Cleveland, tuned through CV Performance. It ran 9.6 before being rebuilt with a Windsor SVOblock bottom end with Cleveland heads, which took it to 8.40@155mph. CV Performance has been, and still is, a very important part of this car’s history.

The most recent makeover was performed at Moits Motorcars, with the build managed by Glenn Davies.

“WOG-007 had such an iconic history within the street/strip community throughout the 80s and 90s,” Glenn says. “Our recent Facebook post was full of comments like: ‘I remember this car wheelstanding next to me on Parramatta Road back in ’88.’”
