1972 XA Falcon coupe with a 302 and C4 complete with sagging sunroof and so much rust in the floor of the boot Im amazed the petrol tank never fell out.
And it also burnt 4 litres of oil every few hundred kays. Ah, the good ol' days, that was 9 years ago.

1964 Cortina - $125.00
Repairs to enable it to be registered and driven - $125.00 Total outlay for 12 months - $250.00 plus petrol and oil. Sold it for $500.00 - bald tyres, needed new springs all round, rear door catch needed repairs (kept opening unexpectedly), oh, and if the starter motor played up you either hit it with a hammer or used a spanner to turn the gear around a bit....... and there was a significant amount of piston slap in the motor..... Ahhhh......the good old days - when petrol and bananas were affordable |

1979 XD Fairmont Ghia
Dad sold it to a friend of his who is killing it. It hurts to see it in such a state whenever he comes over.

1985 XF GL EFI auto. Surprisingly fast, 0-100 in 8.x seconds. Absolutely no rear end grip, was almost a neutral handler under no throttle, and was an oversteering fish tail machine under any throttle.
Perfect car for a P plater - and no, I never crashed it  : The gods were smiling on me!

1976 Ford Escort RS2000 Replica. Love that car only sold it recently, Twin webers. Was a money pit because I thrashed the ***** out it =) So it kept on breaking down. I am still on my P's because of that damn car, lost my license twice because of it :evil3:. My current ride as my login says is a 1985 Ford Fairmont Ghia XF on LPG with non working air-conditioning =(
