Good question. Personally i like anything with a bit of soul whether its an Oldsmobile, Valiant or a Ford...whatever! As long as folks are having fun with their cars it's all good. :)

Either of the big three for me, Val, Ford or Holden but i do like them to be between 1966ish to about 1970-1.
I've dreamt of a car built with the best bits of the three makers combined and now finally i'm doing it..HKGTS body, 265 Hemi, Toploader and 9" |
Fossil fuels are YUMMY ! |

OK, I guess you could say I'm a die hard Ford fan. Always been Fords in my family. I grew up with them. Then again I had mates who were die hard Holden fans and their dads drove Fords and visa versa.
The XF and EA falcons caused a big void for Ford

HQ, from your responses above, apparently we do not reply to this topic because we are too busy fixing problems with Fords. Well if that's not a **** stir I don't know what is. Who really cares how many Ford people are on this site compared to the Holden

actually HQ, I am a Holden supporter, I have been having a read on both sides. If you can't tell one of your own from one from the other side all your theories on Ford supporters go out the window. As for a sense of Humour ? you don't show any sarcasm in

3 the T bar gate is rubbish.

I forgot about them, 3000 v6 GT capri. rare as hens teeth.
wheels test has them doing 0 to 90mile in 22.5 sec 1/4 16.8
LC 186 xu-1 0 to 90 mile in 18.4 sec 1/4 16.1
LJ 202 XU-1 0 to 90 mile in 17.4 sec 1/4 15.8
I would imagine a 396 has plenty torque
