About our club

We are a group of like-minded car enthusiasts, interested in Ford vehicles manufactured from 1972 to 1978, especially those either built with, or now sporting a Ford V8.

We also support vehicles outside those criteria on a case by case basis, eg, a 74 model Falcon with a six cylinder or a V8 F100 built in 1970. These cars come under our “associate” membership scheme.

The ‘72-‘78 Ford V8 Club of NSW is a registered member of the Combined Ford Clubs (CFC), this gives us prime spots for CFC events such as All Ford Day (AFD). We also have club registration for those who meet the club rego criteria, both Historic and the new CVS Scheme.

We have approximately 35+ members, with a core group of members forming the club committee. Although we like to think of our club as non political- something we are very proud of- to have a successful car club in this day and age, it is unfortunate that a club committee has to be formed to undertake the work “behind the scenes” such as insurances, club direction, merchandise, treasury and run organisation. To keep as non-political as possible, we try to keep limit these items in our general meetings to make them fun and care free, while the committee meetings are much more formal to keep the club stable.

We are a Blacktown, NSW based club, with meetings held on the third Thursday of the month at The Alroy Tavern, 371 Rooty Hill Road North, Plumpton. Meetings held at 7.00pm. We sometimes have guest speakers at meetings as well as raffles and good food too!

The ‘72-‘78 Ford V8 Club of NSW is a family orientated club with many members bringing their family along to BBQ’s and events the club holds or attends. We have a varied club run calendar, taking in car shows, charity events, motor racing and non-car related activities (eg aircraft museum), we also attend a run each year with another car club to promote inter club relations. We hold 12 club runs a year, with December been our Christmas party. We hold 11 club meets a year with either December or January off due to holiday season.

The Club has a few sponsors who help members with their requirements, such as Blacktown Automotive Services (02) 9622 5598, and The Alroy Tavern.

Club membership is payable each year at our club concourse day held at the end of June. We have a club payment option for those who wish to split payments up in six month lots.

We have special fees for associate members and pensioners- so please ask on of the committee members for details.

The ’72-’78 Ford V8 Club of NSW has merchandise available for purchase, such as polo shirts, Sloppy Joe’s, Hoodies, Cups, Balloons, with other items coming soon.

So if you are looking for a fun, non- political club to get out in your pride and joy, or if you’re looking to reduce the cost of owning a classic car via rego cost reductions, or maybe you are looking to meet like- minded people, please consider

“The 72-78 Ford V8 Club of NSW.”
