Awesome pickup Cav. I love the black Howe Leather seats! These seats are such an improvement over the standard Fairlane/Farimont Leather seats. the look mint too!

Hopefully get to see it one day as I am just over the hill from Tumut!

As far as I can tell Bandit, that is all standard Fairlane woodgrain trim. It is actually plastic, but hey it looks good!

The LTD's woodgrain is darker than the Fairlane/Fairmont woodgrain, has is in a few more places like the rear of the centre console, window switches & headlight switch. - Pic showing the difference in woodgrain colours.


Nice ride Cav.

Cheers
Stu

Yes your's does look darker.

I've wanted one of these Sportsman for years, in white though. I think the first batch that do not have the two colours looks much better.

I was all set to make an offer on another car when I managed to spot the add for this car. The car was at Winmalee which I thought was a suburb of Sydney and I asked them if they could meet me at Sydney airport.

Little did I know it was in the mountains.

I rang the owner and we hit it off straight away. (On my text message is my picture and she is only a woman after all) She was very direct and mentioned the things that were wrong with the car.

The car was advertised at $6,200. I suggested $5,000 and she replied that I could have the car for $5,500. So the deal was done.

We met at Maccas at Narellan and we hit it off really well, both she and her husband. It was as if we had known each other for a long time. That's what I like about car people.

the woodgrain strip above the stereo isnt found in anything. Looks custom made, and looks good i reckon.

i see what you mean about the ltd being darker, from the small pic, it sort of looks like cav's has the ltd headlight switch panel.
