Hmm Ive never heard of a factory V8 in any XM/XP, your best bet is to ring ford and they should be able to help.
OR The Ford Discovery Centre in Geelong; actually id go to them first.

On second thoughts, are you sure its not a Fairlane Compact? They can kind of look similar.

There was recently a couple of articles on this in Australian Muscle Car magazine... Brand new XM/XP's delivered to a company in Melbourne (I think?) for V8/auto conversions. They did something like 15 all up. Will check it out when I get home.

Bill Warner Sprint copy, built about november 1965. Bill bought brand new unreg 2drs, fitted 260 or 289 in later cars and returned unused motor/trans for credit.1st car used the 260 I believe, $1700 brand new,inc twin tailpipes. Wheels magazine did a feature on them. JC They had 1 of the exhaust manifolds turned around to clear the steering box in the Australian built cars

Price now $30k. I reckon that is cheap for a car that is close to unique.

If it's anything like the mis-described junk that bloke usually sells, I wouldn't touch it - Search AFF for "factory black ZH" and see what turns up...

Hah, that used to be my car... was never factory black, was Daimler Blue or something... its amazing what a bit of paint and some bling wheels will do.

If it could be verified that its a genuine Bill Warner conversion from the 60s it may be worth looking at.
