Yeah guys, those of us that have had XA-XC hardtops over time and sold them for near nothing are totally kicking ourselves now. I had to sell my XA coupe in 09 because of a workplace accident and a good old insurance policy of, you pay us the premium and we'll give you nothing when you make a claim. It was one of the best bodies that anyone had seen. The guy who bought it could not believe what he'd got, as it the closest one next it that he seen wasn't even half as good as mine. I had the shits for two weeks after I sold it, as I knew I would not find another one as good. When it came time to buy a new toy, finding a good hardtop was 50k+ and I was prepared to spend that sort of money. Anyway more than happy with my Mustang and my project is a 4 door. It's a 72 XA Fairmont K code (351 2V) L code (4 speed top loader) colour U (ultra white) trim B (black) I am deciding which way to go with the car, either return it back to its original condition, as it would be a rare combo for a Fairmont, or turn it into a Phase 4 race car clone as I absolutely love the one of the Bowdens. Every time I have gone to Bowdens, I go into a trance for that car, it just has me fascinated what that car was going to be in 72, also hearing the stories David Bowden and his sons tell about the car, man what an awesome vehicle for 1972,but unfortunately the do gooders spoilt the party. Anyway it's going to take a while, but the body is not to bad, it already has genuine GT guards, dash (140 MPH one) lockable fuel cap, grille, but finding a bonnet is not only near impossible but also expensive. Oh well, we'll see what happens once the body is done, as to which way I go with it.
Bit cooler then another GT clone too
