As TudorTom said; new rear drive V8 pass cars and utes are made and sold by Ford in Aus.
Twin cam 250 cube turbo 6s are avail as well.
They come with 6 & 7 speed auto or manual gearboxes.
Cars fitted with high perf Mustang engines can be specially ordered from FPV [Ford Performance Vehicles].

Same with the Holden [Aus GM vehicles]. We are told some US police depts are using the full size rear drive alloy V8s as Chev Impalas.

Petrol here is $6 to $7 a gall at the moment.
