Plenty of legroom.


Says that its a Hilliers Brothers conversion, so expect it to be done well.

Stole the idea from the R5 Concept vehicle. As did Holden with the Crewman.

[.:4:.]

Its probably still has a shorter wheelbase then a 4 door f250.

That thing is peak AU, I didn't think the AU could get any uglier, then I saw that.

It's brilliant

I reckon if it were a bit more factory looking it'd be kinda ok.
The rubbish wheels/paint/tail lights and bonnet ruin it.
But you cant fix the door set up on it

I had an offer to buy back my XR6 with 1200rwhp last month, not quite to the OP's standard but food for thought none the less...


NEWSFLASH : It was written off at QR just recently by the NEW owner.


oh well back to Marketplace .

The seller could have at least quoted the turning circle

Dunno if this one's been posted before, but here is a fever dream for under 40K:

big money spent, the discerning may see AU underpinnings

and for those really big nights, it's great to know it can double as both a limousine AND a hearse.

First on my list for a $40k used car would be an XR6 Turbo Ute. I want one without mods, automatic, not in white or black, preferably with leather trim. That spec is so hard to find in nice condition, especially at $40K. These are as close as I could get at the moment -

https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...20927822/?Cr=9

Otherwise, a XR6 Turbo sedan or G6E Turbo would be next choice. Again, auto, not white or black and unmodified.

I also spotted this delightful looking XM Falcon Deluxe while browsing. At the complete other end of the Falcon spectrum, I love the petite styling and the red interior of this example.

I would quite happily roll the window down and do a lap around Aus in that....

I'm staunchly anti-VAG

But tell you what these things are cheap for one in good condition, a car that every old post menopause woman at IGA is going to go out of her way to come up to you and call your car 'cute'

https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...12328880/?Cr=0



There's a couple of cars that transcend 'car enthusiasts' and attract attention from certain demographics, 1970s/1980s F series/Bronco for male retired tradesman boomers and 1960s/1970s VW Beetle for boomer women

[hayseed]

Franco, You'll have to get a Beetle & go Cougar Hunting....LOL

[fordomatic]

This, i want this.

Probably full of rust and a dodgy resto but i don't care, i want it, so cool.

I love 1980s Broncos, if I was a bazillionaire I'd rock one as the daily, but with the 7.3L Godzilla and a 10sp auto, but still have it look original on the outside and still column shift.

Shoulda bought Bitcoin with one of my paychecks like 13 years ago

Its old, and well known, so yes

I'm going to add this to my hypothetical sub $40,000 ****box collection:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...7232172208564/

I wouldn't pay $6K for it, but for this hypothetical, sure lets pay $6000 for it.
