Default Re: Who's owned the most Fords ?

Probably bought 3 Falcons a year on average since 1988 when I started the taxis...

Mostly XT's, several parts wrecks and a few personal XR6's and G6's.

And 1 ute...and 1 Everest.

Currently have 9 Falcons.

Thanks, they were great cars and fun to drive in their day. They respond very well to a little tweeking, free-flow dual sport Exhaust is a must, decommission the emissions on the XB onwards, bin the Timing Light and advance the timing (special dynamic technique I also used on my V6 Capris), and I usually put either a 500 CFM twin barrel or 650 CFM 4 Barrel Holley to liven things up nicely!

My AUII was the final Ford development of the Windsor (all my previous were Cleveland), which was the "hand-Built Tickford 220 Kw / 435 Nm.

The Mustang Gen 2 & especially Gen 3 Coyote engines are in a league of their own however, with the gen 3 (FN Mustang) with a conservative 339 Kw (the last SS Comadore 6.2L was only 303 Kw), and a redline of 7500 rpm, with a glorious smile generating Ford V8 note to go with it !

XA falcon

ED Falcon
EF Fairmont Ghia
AU2 Farimont
BA2 V8 RTV ute
BF2 XR8 ute
MC Mondeo
FG2 XR6. I've hung on to this one longer then normal, and this will likely be my last - Don't think I'll join the masses and buy Everest/Ranger, (have always regretted buying Mondeo over G6ET, (MC still a great car)

Sedan wise for the highway It looks like I'll be snookered with Toyota/Hyundai/Kia

Uninspired to change.

About 10 but if I count 40 years worth of wrecks,I guess the count would be around 1000

WS Fiesta
LV Focus x2
EL Fairmont Ghia
EF Falcon x2
F100
Laser (it's really a Mazda but anyway)

That's from 2009-2021

What would my next Ford be? I'm not sure but an MA/MB Mondeo XR5T appeals if one of the current ****box fleet disappeared.

Or maybe a 1960s F500-F750, I haven't owned a truck yet, I saw one of these as a tipper for sale recently with the predecessor to the Cleveland in it.

I don't have a use for a tipper, just like how I don't have a use for a ute with a crane on the back, but I've got one
