Default If I were a ford...

Following on from the how old are you thread, I thought this would be a bit of fun. What ford would you be? Has to be a ford, any ford, from the year that you were born. It can't be modified in any way. All you 70's guys are going to have a ball!

Being a child of 1985, that leaves me with the dubious honour of the falcon with no v8. So I'll go for the injected ZL fairlane.

I would be a ZJ Fairlane with a 351 (I think they were realeased by 1979). Big, cumbersome, not particularly interesting to look at but with some serious hidden power...

Being from 84', I'll have the mighty XF Ghia (although I may possibly need to be an XE if we bring months into the equation)

1977 Ford Megastar 1 Ghia Concept Prototype.



Ugly, misunderstood, one of a kind, high amounts of polyester, seriously flammable.

pfft..

1985 Ford Probe V Concept

Sleek and futuristic, yet named after an instrument of dubious merit.
