My old XBGT sedan - UPDATED June 08

Thought I'd upload my first YouTube vid

I know it's a Falcon but it is a "CLASSIC FORD"

Sold it back in 1995 after a ground up resto for $11K - something tells me I should have kept it [:-(]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCmr-dtkrCw

Update.

I was flicking through the latest "Street Fords" and I spotted a familiar car - it happens to be the XBGT I rebuilt and sold in the above YouTube video. The car has basically been presented (apart from an engine change and minor paint detailing) as I sold it 13 years ago - I'm chuffed!

I'm also awaiting a call from the current owner as he may be interested in all the build up photos etc

Have a look if you get a chance

    LOL!

    It is Adelaide remember - just a BIG country town really.

    My parents still live there as the car was stored at their place after I paid to have their garage extended!


    Replied!

    When you start driving your small Ford you might find out.

    Sold it back in 1995 after a ground up resto for $11K - something tells me I should have kept it

    $85 000 is the record price for a Four door XB GT.
