I like it! The comfort of a coupe the utility of a pickup. Something Ford should have built here not just down under. See the latest V8 Times.

Thanks for the link guys.
They don't all have to be show cars to be enjoyed. I can see that it would be a fun and practical vehicle to use for club outings and should find a buyer quite easily. It won't take long for the right person to come along and make an offer.

The first thing is to take those awful 16 inch wheels off. As soon as the 16 inch wheels go on its not an A any longer unless A stands for Awful or Abortion. Wayne

I kind of like it.The price is really decent for what it is. I don't understand why we have to be so critical of these type of vehicles. If a newcomer shows his try at a restoration on this forum, he gets kudos as he should, but when a vehicle shows up for sale, it is picked to pieces and gets lots of awful comments. I hope no one appointed us judge and jury of these cars. Just my 2 cents. Let's be kinder.

Does not look like a lot would be needed to revert it back to factory.
