Thanks guys

yes buying this car while out of work is very risky!! it will be at least 8 weeks before i get my Taxi License thanks to a Police check(forgot about that) i would like to think that if push comes to shove i could get back near what i paid for either the Falcon or this.If i can? then its no big risk.

Whatever i do now? i need to be care full! as i will not get a loan or credit for a long time.What i have invested in the Falcon and the Torino must last me,so if i sell them? and spend the cash on paying my bills and not working for a while then it will be a real struggle to get back into the hobby.

All i can say is im Single! don't Drink! I'm a pilot light(rarely go out) so that's how i manage it! Just.

Simon i have no more pics yet sory,this car is more fun driving at night,no not because i don't want to be seen in a Ford

just because it looks meaner at night

Thanks Mate,yes he bought it off my mate Adrian from Manchester,i fancied the car but at the time i had the Duster and the Petty,so buying it was out of the question,i put an add on here for the Lad and Sandy snapped the car up.But i said to Sandy please give me first refusal,Sandy has toyed with idea of selling her a few times but would not go ahead,instead he waits until I'm out of work

so i said bugger it, i will have her anyway as i don't want to be known as a teaser!

and i may regret missing it this time around.

I think with my heart, and not with my head! i may get bitten? but that's life

Thanks Budgie i will let you know about the Falcon! first refusal for you

want a bit more than 5 clap though

The Falcon is a great car, and great to live with on an everyday basis

not as thirsty as the Torino and its a good size for UK Garages etc,cool car i love it

i still swing more towards a small block car if I'm honest.

Cheers

Cheers mate.

I'm thinking of buying some 15 inch Black wheels a mate has for sale,
(there to good a deal to refuse)I tried one on the back to test and the car looked better with bigger Black wheels and wider boots.

If i end up with these wheels? then i will of course keep hold of the stock 12 slots as i quite like them and the stock appearance so i can always go back if need be.

Stunning car,particularly in black. This era was definately a high point in american style for these hardtops by the big three.
