SubscriberThat takes me back Marcus, my first car was an XT although it was an auto, my mates all hated it cos it was way quicker than their twin-carb 186s. Second car was an XT GT. How I survived being an 18yo P-plater in that thing I'll never know. Wish I still had it though.Originally Posted by Chops
Many years ago as a 20yo, I aquired an XT Falcon, 6 Cyl, three on the tree. It came with a twin exhaust, so it sounded good,, well, sort of, but everyone thought it was an 8, but the engine was tired
.
I had lost my brief for 3 months, and whilst the car was off the road, only just recently purchased (only allowed to drive the milk truck for work) I swapped out the 6 for an auto V8. It came out of a ZB Fairlane which had been worked, and I got the full interior from a ZD Fairlane except the dash, so really, just the seats
.
When I came back onto the road, mates,,, who had visited me with the car being worked on right at the front door of the house,,, couldn't work out why I now went sooo fast,,,
Old school Fords,,, is there really anything better,,,, I think not.

If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

I learnt to drive in a 1980 ZJ Fairlane, said to be 1 of 4 - 351cu with a mild cam in it... Apparently 4 special order Fairlanes made for the company directors.
Dad took me out on a dirt road, and when it over-steered (corrugations and rear wheel drive V8 fun) he said: "You'll be fine as a driver - you steered into the skid instead of panicking"
I just remember having fun..

I had an XT Falcon ute in the eighties, but I worked it to death. Silly Billy I was fond of it too.
Cheers, Billy.
Keeping it simple is complicated.

SubscriberA couple of weeks ago I took a ride in a mates XA GT. It has some go and loses traction without too much effort.
