How cool is this old darling!
This well known local car has been admired by us and many others for as long as we can remember, this is one of those cars that you remember fondly from the moment you first saw it, it's always been gorgeous, and has only got better with age....
An absolute pleasure to offer for sale for the first time in many years, this stunning example was originally sold new in CH CH, and is a factory V8 Fairmont, which has spent a lot of its earlier years in the deep South, with limited use and low ownership, which was clearly its saviour as it was obviously cherished, and very well cared for before being purchased by another now local Cantabrian who was originally from Southland, and he in turn sold this beauty to his good friend who has retained careful ownership of this beautiful example now for over 20 years!
This old Fairmont ticks all of the boxes, black interior, Deep Reef Green paintwork, and sitting down just right on a set of machined eight inch Tridens and Eager's, does it get any more Kiwiana than that?
The solid dry and very straight body was treated to a good quality repaint around fifteen years ago, and apart from the odd little blemish as would be expected, still presents exceptionally well with a lovely shine and a great over all look.
The interior is immaculate having recently had a decent cosmetic refurbishment with new seat covers and door trims, all carried out by well respected local trades people, and this example has been fitted with the highly desirable full Grand Sport GS rally dash assembly, including all of the sports gauges, correct GS style steering wheel, and even has a genuine Super Fringe push button Radio and factory clock.
The strong performing engine residing in the engine bay has been treated to a full rebuild by a local respected Ford mechanic, and although quite a few years ago now, hasn't travelled a lot of miles since, or done any hard work, so is still performing beautifully, with a magnificent rumble coming from the exhaust system!
These early XW XY Fords have always been desirable, but in recent times it has become very difficult to find a good one, and when they become available they are highly sought-after with prices reflecting this, they represent excellent investment potential, riding high on the reputation and booming prices of their GT brethren, but above all else are just a fantastic thing to own if you love early Aussie Iron.
Inspection will not disappoint a genuine buyer for this gorgeous XW, try starting with a rough one and do the sums to get it to look this good.......
Sold with the original wheels and factory unique hub caps if you prefer that look, and also included in the sale are the original air cleaner and rocker covers, along with the original steering wheel .
This has always been a good car, and it shows, it's quite simply just one of those cars...
Call today, this beauty wont hang around..
