I had a HB coupe back in the day, it was the funnest car I've ever owned. Gutless 4 spd on 4" cross plys with tiny drum brakes, what a laugh. I could flog it mercilessly and race it round the streets, late brake into corners and lift wheels coming out, all without people noticing because it was so slow.
Picture this; 2 HBs side by side, one 4dr and the coupe, 2 guys in each, going 50kph. Back to 3rd and floor it, race on. After about 5 seconds of neck and neck and still barely cracking 60kph me and me mate started rocking back and forth urging the coupe on. With every forward rock we managed to jump ahead about 4"(10cm). By the time we ran out of steam in 3rd and had to slow up for the lights, we were ahead by the length of the bonnet and laughing so hard we had tears in our eyes. Bushbasher

I can't believe the FGX ute also being auctioned.
It'll pull decent coin but being non turbo and manual makes it much less desiresble. |

& it has only done 98kms & only ever sat in Ford Dealership's stock inventory. I reckon that if I was in the market for a brand new ute at the moment that car would have to be very attractive. I wonder, as it has never been registered, if it would have new car warranty as new car warranty generally starts on the date of first registration? |

There'd be No warranty... there'd also be a clause buried in the Auctions House T&Cs |

The BF II XR8 which is listed also actually sounds like a very rare & interesting car.

They also don’t know the difference between a BA and BF

My paternal grandfather’s last car was an LJ fordor in (I think) Egyptian Bronze, can remember it had the smaller six and four speed floor shift. When he died in the early ‘90s, my father and his late brother sold it back to the local dealer (Smallbone Ltd) for something like $1200 with less than 100K on the clock. Would have been a great car to tuck away.
