i've had a couple of fords

one had a chev engine

the rest weren't worth mentioning

except in a comparison i padock bashed an XM falcon it lasted about an hour, i padock bashed an EK it lasted 3 days and still only died cause we bogged it to the axel and couldn't get it out

so we punched a hole in the sump and drained the water started the engine and stuck a rock on the accelorator till she died

Yep, guilty as well.

Bought FB panelven for $100,FB and EK wagon (free ) and my mates and I used them in a gymkana event and later as shooting buggies.

They were worth then about as much as a VN Commodore would be worth now.

If I knew back then what they'd be worth now I'd probably would have treated 'em different.

J, start buying all the VN Commodores now before they start heading up in price

does make you wonder though re: the VN's

said it before and i'll say it again, it's only the last 5 - 10 years (closer to 5) that FB/EK's have been worth anything, you could pick up a REALLY good car for under $5,000 stock or modified

the one that got padock bashed was registered and would have cost less than $100 drove till rego was just about out and then

Shite, I bashed a heap of them, a rust free windowless van, a registered EK EJ's EH etc etc etc had 40 acres to do it in. I can remember buying good running registered FC-EK's for 100 bucks or less with nasco acessories...............
