Default Re: Mk2 Cortina Perana / Savage in Australia?

http://www.classic-ford.org/cfp/tm.aspx?m=78787

This discussion maybe able to help. As far as its known there was no V6/ savage style cars built here although this car did come up.
Are you looking at one?
Tell tale signs of a good conversion would be revised suspension points, seam welding and bracing. Its not just a matter of whacking a big engine in a small car. The Perana/ Savage/ Broadspeed cars were quite bespoke.
There was a Perena for sale a while back in Aus, listed around 20k and gone now. I thought that was pretty well priced given its rarity and performance.
