From Wikipedia
Bruce Alexander McPhee (February 11, 1927 - September 22, 2009) was a former Australian motor racing driver.
He is most famous for winning the Hardie Ferodo 500 (now the Bathurst 1000) in 1968, defeating both the Holden and Ford factory teams. He drove a Holden Monaro GTS327 painted yellow and black stripes with the number 13. His co-driver, who drove just one lap that day, was Barry Mulholland.
In 1969 McPhee and Mulholland, driving a privately-entered Ford Falcon GTHO, finished a close second at Bathurst to the Colin Bond/Tony Roberts Monaro GTS350. McPhee briefly joined the Ford works team for the 1970 Hardie-Ferodo 500. He finished second after following team orders not to pass lead Ford driver Allan Moffat.
As well as the 1968 ouright win, McPhee finished on the podium at Bathurst in 1963 (3rd), 1965 (2nd), 1966 (3rd), 1969 (2nd) and 1970 (2nd) giving him an excellent Bathurst history.
McPhee also claimed the 1968 Bathurst pole position giving him the dual honour of being the first Bathurst race winner for Holden and the first Bathurst pole position winner for Holden.
McPhee lived the majority of his life on the Central Coast until his passing on September 22, 2009.
