| The car had been in Emerald, Qld (my hometown) since the mid-1980's and had two owners in this time (tyring to find out its history before then as well). I bought it in December 2000 as a shell with suspension and not much else for $650 and began a complete resto, doing as much of the work as possible myself. Due to budget and time restraints the rebuild took approx. 13 years and now the car is on club rego, driven to shows and drive days etc mostly around my local area. I rebuilt it in a 1970's street car style using all Ford parts (mostly XB and XC) as I have always favoured that look. I fitted a XC Fairmont dash (seemed like a good idea at the time!) because the previous owner had modified the original XB dash in a way I didn't like and I had a perfect XC one at the time. If I had to start again I'd find an XB GS dash, and repaint the car next time in its original Deep Aqua, but no plans to do that as I love the way it looks now in black. The cars original compliance plates were lost during a full paint job by the previous owner in the '90's, so when I registered it I supplied an old rego certificate from previous owner, a stat declaration of why the plates weren't on it and my verification letter from Ford. The rego officer also visually checked the chassis number on the shock tower and under Qld Transport rules, the car is now legally registered. I would love to know any additional info on the cars history if anyone out there knows it. | |||

| It was an import to the United States. I've always wanted one and when the opportunity presented itself I couldn't help myself. I hear there's around 100 here and I'm proud to say I'm one of those 100 owners! I've had people stop on my neighborhood street and ask about it even though it's stationary in the garage at the moment. That's how unique it is. There's not a ton of rust on it that I can see, a bit on the rear, but nothing that's a deal breaker. I'm dying to get it on the road just so I can feel it under my rear. I haven't started the motor yet, but that was mostly due to the fact that I couldn't even get the bonnet open. It's open now though so work is about to get underway. | |||
