No Crust Racing Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 It's a good rig, it has a lot of potential. It will be a shame to see him sell it. If you can think of any of your mates who would be interested by all means pass it on.

markos Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Biggest issue is cops, none of them are into show cars really. I built mine first, then 2 others built tubbed big block XD's, there were 3 getting around in Frankston in the early to mid 80's........we even ran wheelie bars, it was a different era lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431143-1981-ford-ltdfairlane-with-485-big-block/#findComment-7002826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Crust Racing Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Yeah that's the tough part. Even when I got my first performance car it was a different era, we got away with heaps by comparison with today's standards. It's very anti-enthusiast now days, and why not when you can make so much revenue fining people for bullshit.
