That's correct, FOR A SEDAN.
Ford don't build a V8 Falcon wagon, in any spec.

I know coz I tried to order one, was told 'No, only the N/A 6', so I got my XR8 ute instead.

HQ Monaro GTS 350, A9X, VK Group A/Group 3 (only 50 built), VL Group A, Brocky's VK Group C Dayglo Bathurst winner.

Got a soft spot too for the old HZ GTS, shame they had no poke though.

Not much of a fan of Holdens but I would have an EK/FB van, wagon or ute (prefer the wagon).

Serious?
I'm not interested but he shouldn't have any problems selling it, There are less than 300 left and appriciating in value every year. Very good investment (even for a Ford man)

It wouldn't be too hard to have less than 300 today, they only built 302 in this first place.

I like the old HJ LS 2 door the one with the HJ premier front and the HQ rear end or the HT Braham in Bronze with the cream interior or in the new stuff the HSV GTS Coupe 4
The best score for an old Holden was from my mate who is a courier and seen an old holden Torana hatch back in someones yard and swapped a Jetski for it
He found out it was an original A9X with the tent that goes in the hatch area for sleeping all it needed was 8 plugs, a battery, new tyres and a reco of the carby to get it going

Hmmmmmm

HDT VL Group A SS (the 'Permanent Red' one)
VP SS or Clubsport
HDT VL Director (Go the Polarizer!)
LJ Torana XU-1
A9X

I'd have to say the VL's would be my favourite, seeing Brocky at bathurst in 1987 gunning his VL Group A out of the pits getting it sideways still gets me goin :sm_drool:
