Hello to all. This is my first post whereby few if any may follow as I am not currently a Ford owner. I did however buy a XY Fairmont new in 1972 (Alan Coffey Ford) in Ultra white with Saddle (a nice mid brown) interior; 250 ci. engine. How I wish I had paid a paltry $1000 (about) extra and bought a XYGT as did a neighbour - 'Vermillion Fire' I think it was.
The Fairmont was nice to drive - better than my late mothers 1973 TC Cortina XLE also with the 250 ci. engine. I dont know how she drove it without power steering - that big 'lump' up front made it as handful but I always did like that durable 6 cyl. unit. I now have a supercharged 4WD and are trying to locate Duane Evans who had dyno tuned my car (he had a 4WD dyno) when he operated Top-Torque Performance, Green St., Doveton, Vic. I've just been told he has gone from there and as a 'Google' search indicated that some Ford owners (on this forum) had used his services I was hoping that someone might be able to tell me where he went to. Many thanks in advance for any information or leads. John |

Cant help you , sorry John , but some one may pipe up , welcome to the forum mate.
i think there a lot of people now who wish they had of bought the XY GT, i remember going for my first ride in an XY GT as a young buk , black with white stripes , 3 speed auto, shaker, it was a really nice car, a lot of people just think about them as the race car, but they where also an awesome cruiser. Good luck with your inquiry. |

Heh.... yes I can remember stripping down my mother-in-laws xb gs. Found the build sheet and order sheet.... all great options ticked.. except for the GT box. I asked her why ( I think at the time it was about 205 dollars extra? She said that she had wanted to when it was ordered, as the car was for her, but her husband at the time was to tight to fork out the extra.
