The 1968 Hardie-Ferodo 500 was a production car race held on 6 October 1968 at the Mount Panorama Circuit just outside Bathurst in New South Wales Australia. It was the ninth running of the Bathurst 500. For the first time factory supported teams of Ford and Holden V8s raced against each other setting a pattern that continues to this day in Australian touring car racing currently known as V8 Supercar. It was not one of the factory cars that won however.
