looks like a great project. the worst thing about finishing one is you want to do another. gets addictive.
i see you live in the country then. i love driving through the rural areas just looking in paddocks just hoping to see an old ford like yours sitting there and offering the guy cash. my wife spots me doing it all the time if we head away on long trips.

Shall I give you my address?

It's an interesting project - lets just say that. One day though - I will hopefully be driving it knowing everything is right with it.

Readymix Coupe
30,500 genuine miles.
Stock as a rock except for the wheels and tyres.
It has air, steer, sunroof, electric windows, cloth inserts, locking fuel cap, boot release, rear louvre, front & rear spoilers, halogen headlights (still original) radio/tape player, vinyl roof, protection pack, sports wheels (too skinny and only used for some shows) and unfortunately FMX.
This was a special build by Ford. Only GT ever painted Readymix Orange (Y345) in any model.

What a magnificent coupe!! Great colour, I'm amazed Ford only ever did one in this colour. Just love the vinyl roof too, it just sets it off nicely.

[v8cars]

Here's some photos i found of when i first got my coupe on the road and had 7 inch dragways on it.

[gcg2503]

v8cars what colour is that?

It looks like Yellow Fire in most pics - unsure if my eyes are playing tricks on me

She a Y code GS?

[v8cars]

gcg2503 you are correct it is yellow fire and its factory 250 4 speed car.

Its now running a 351, 5 speed, 9inch.

Was this car at the Hardtop anniversary at Echuca last year?
I'm sure it was at the same motel as us.

[v8cars]

I found these aswell.

G'day George
I like it with the Option 52's as well but only from the side.
It looks a bit skinny from the rear with those big guards.
It also drives a lot nicer with the big wheels and tyres.
That's what she tells me anyway.
Cheers

The guy who supplied my vinyl roof sent me a few pics he had of a group of Landau's out for a cruise - assume its Melbourne area as thats were he is from... He thought these were taken about 10 years ago, but wasnt 100%. Really nice to see a few Landau's out together!!! Wouldnt see that much these days I bet!

Enjoy! (Oh yeh if one of these is yours...hope its ok to post a pic here! I cant really make out the number plates so thought it wouldnt be a drama - mods delete if you need to)





What spoiler has that the blue one got on the front there - first pic next to the white one? Maybe I should talk to Ken about that....?

Hi Lisa.
From the front it looks similar to a cobra spoiler, whilst from the side it looks like an XA GT spoiler.
Either that or my eyes are stuffed!

it looks to me to be an xa gt spoiler

i couldnt resist takeing a pick of the old girl hauling my trailer ,got some more of it loaded up with furniture at Ikea but the wifes got the camera , dont worry the old girl wasnt hurt during this ordeal ,it did make an intresting site seeing a rust free xa coupe moving furniture loaded up with the family as well :mary xmas cheers pat n family

[Pinkbits]

I've tried zooming in to read the number plate of the first one to no avail.
It looks like Stratosphere grey to me. I wonder if it's Auslandau's car?

[gcg2503]

fair chance - they are def Vic cars judging by the black and white number plates, along with the green and white plates

Could be Auslandau's car actually! he would know if he has a look surely

As for you Pat - couldnt you use soemthing else to hauling - leave my WG cousin at home in the shed. Take ur Landau next time!
