I've noticed groups of them at a time every now and then on eBay.

Is that the salt lake speed trail one? Now a stroked (over 400ci) 302w with 32kg turbo hanging off the side? And final drive of 1:1...

care to link me up? lol
therse about a billion on there, although im sure most of them are fordforums members version of 'find me a shit hot first car', where as mine is more like 'find me a ghetto piece of shit that cost less than a gobby from a tranny in st kilda but still has a 2006 build plate and rego cause that shit makes me hot in the pants'

My family owns taxi's, we generally try to get rid of them for $2500 ONO as is (no stickers and all that shit) if we cant get rid of them then we just hand them over to our mechanics or panel beaters for parts.

They are awesome daily cars on straight gas, cars that are always road worthy for obvious reasons. The only down side is the high km's and the wear and tear of them.

Just gave one away to the mechanics and it had a motor and trans with 130k on it.

If any one is interested in a ex cab (bf most likely) let me know, heaps of owners out there trying to get rid of them.

Currently redoing all suspension components, big brake kit, stripping apart for a respray, dynamatting whole interior.
