Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

I know this is not boat related, but I am after a Ford ute, preferably on gas, AU or BA, 3 seater, and preferably white but will consider silver, up to 220 000km or thereabouts, and up to around $6000. I know that sounds pretty specific, but that's what I am after. I have no drama travelling as far as Queensland or SA for the right vehicle. So if you know of one, contact me on 0418584448, thanks, Jon.

Mate if you have some time I'll tel you all my ford stories.
I have owned an el for a few years now. I have replaced everything on it. Some things two and three times. I'm on my second engine and tranny.
They are crap. Everyone I know that had one with a few kms on them reckon the same.

I guess my EB falcon with 450000 Km running original everything must be the exception that proves the rule? A falcon on gas is a great thing and if you do have to fix anything it cost bugger all. Don't get me started on my wife's Volvo.

haha id never have a ford again. our bf xr6 is a pile of u know who. i agree that a fird ute on gas can be a good thing but whats the chance of finding a good one for 6grand? last time i looked they were abit more expensive then that. ill keep my eyes open around here on the weekend as there are lots of cars laying around for sale most weekends.

dave : is that the same white wagon you had at nerrandera years ago? atleast it got my v drive there. thanks for that

Guys, guys, please, I do accept that sometimes non boat related stuff must be discussed but did you have to bring up ovloV ?

Nick I'll give you $6000 for your EB then, or $600 for your wife's Volvo, and Bauchy I'll give you $60 for your BF

Oh and Dave, you shouldn't be so hard on your gear

Haha. Can't resist... The only reason I bought the 64 falcon wagon was coz I knew I was going to replace the entire driveline with Toyota stuff!

nool i realy hope u are going to put a boosted 2jz into that wagon. it would be the only right way to do it.

Alright everyone thanks ever so much for your assistance, I have found a ute, it's in Adelaide and I'll be flying over wednesday to get it then hightailing it straight home (vai Balranald auto-elec). Obviously I am going to have to ditch the powerplant, so I'm thinking maybe a 20B triple rotor mated to a powerglide, straight through 4" exhaust, 4500 stall. Should be ideal for my line of work.
