Problable in the wrong area but stuff it! a week a go i got a good job and yeah wanting to know of any one like what kind of ford falcon/fairlane/fairmont should i buy
like for example a stock AU (have seen a few cheap ones) or EF/EL ie XR6 (seen a couple nice manuals for roughly 7>8k ish) or get a MPFI EA/EB any suggestions Taking into consideration wanting to spend around the 5k mark maybe more for the right car and going to help the sistuation like to trade the ea towards a new car. any feedback would be good. cheers

dont start with an EA/EB/ED when the ef/el's are gettin so cheap, they are a much better package.
you can pick a nice ef/el fairmont up for about 6-7k with <170,000 if you hunt around. however you will be stuck with the auto which is hard to get moving.

For around the $4-5k mark you can usually pick up an EF, theres a few manuals around in those. Thats what i did, done a few simple mods and damn it looks tidy now.

If it were me, I'd try to find a schmick EBII XR6 manual.
Failing that, stretch the budget for an EF or EL XR6. Just make sure she's a manual

Pffft 
You'll be able to get a nice higher spec ED rather then a low spec EF/EL for 5k. Plus you might even have some left over for lowering, rims and an exhaust.

I'm a big fan of the Pre-EF E-series, but you have to admit that the difference between the ED to EF is very significant in terms of more modern looking styling and that. But seriously, f**k new cars, get something old, lots of cheap XA-XC sedans being sold around here lately, so very very tempting!!! |

Really the only 'aged' part is the interior... exterior still looks sharp IMO. Everything else is virtually identical!

Oh yeah..... you could go ballistic with the mods & not worry about any expensive aftermarket ECU. now who's selling a 1965 XP 2 door hard top? hehehe
