Because that type of Ford V8 was made in Windsor, ON, Canada, as opposed to a Cleveland V8.

check oil colour, check coolant colour (should be light green or red), check radiator and under the front for front end damage. check also that it idles ok and starts first time. look for oil leaks and so on. id recommend a RACV or similar check if youre not sure.
 : go to redbook.com.au to see what others are getting for the same model :alien2: |
