Allan Moffat, the crowd's choice for the 'Bad Guy' tag, and his remarkable Trans Am 302 Mustang, originally a 1969 (IIRC) Bud Moore factory car.
The great unwashed in the mob probably thought his Canadian accent was 'American' and that was good enough reason to make 'Marvin' the 'Black Hat'.
He was a bloody good driver just the same.

Gold Star Champion, Tasman Cup winner,Bathurst Winner, high scorer in Touring Cars, even managed to stick a Camaro on pole at Bathurst one year.
The 911RS sneaked in as a 'Touring Car' through a loophole in the CAMS regulations.
