G'day Guys, <p> A farmer down the road from me has a XC GS Ute with an original 164,000kms. Still has the original orange/red paint with twin gold pin stripes along the side of the ute & alloy wheels. The vehicle has a 302 (not factory)& is automatic with rego. Has no visible rust as the vehicle has always been garaged & cared for. He wants $1500 - does this sound like a bargain?? Would appreciate some advice...

Will do with the photos. Am I correct in saying there was no XC GS? It was an X-pack was it not?? As I understand, the GS finished with the XB.

GS was still available on the XC. GS had sports dash, bonnet and spotties in the grille. Not too many had a GS stripe on the side of the car like the XBs but they were GS non the less.

The 4.9 V8 on the XC came in 4-barrell form. What was it at the time that made a 4-barrel carbie more desirable compared to the XB 302?
Also, the XC GS Ute has a 302 but it originally had a six. How can I tell the age (etc) of the 302 when lookin

Thanks Bill & Paul,
Bought the XC GS ute this evening for $600 unregistered. Will send you an email with pictures in the next week. Might draw upon you both from time to time as I restore it to its former glory! Do you each have an email address

The 4 barrell carbs were fitted to all Ford V8 models from XC on. They were fitted to meet the pollution requirements of ADR27A introduced in July 1976. The carb is called a Carter Thermoquad. The main body is made of black plastic.
