Hi Guys,I'm new to the forum and just after your valuable opinions. I have an xc coupe (351 4v fairmont, sunroof, 9 inch) which was taken of the road about 25 years ago and as such is straight and totally rust free and in real terms this car owes me nothing. It is complete but stripped and in primer and has a recoed 460 and toploader. lots of work has already been done (eg whole under car painted and immaculate) My dilema is what to do with it. Sell as is or finish it with the 460...i really dont know which way to go...my free time is limited due to work which is why this car is still in this state and if i finish it i know that it will still just sit and gather dust so should i let it go...what would u do?

[Tha Jack]

Sell it to me ta993. I will take her off your hands. If it is just gonna sit there even after you are done with the restore, then you are better off letting her go to me. I'll take good care of her! :

[ta993]

Thanks for that offer demi sex god from hell...if i had a dollar for every time i've been asked "do you want to sell", thing is i really like the car and would like to get it finished and drive the damn thing...ah i've got no idea!

[Pinkbits]

Speaking from experience, (gen XBGT coupe & Superbird) that i sold to buy our first home, keep it and finish it or you will be kicking yourself.
Took me 17 years to find my current coupe.

If your time is limited because you work so much then you must be making decent $$$$
maybe you can have someone else reassemble it for you ???

have a panel shop finish the bodywork...

then reassemble yourself...

then have someone do the 460 for you ?

hard to point you to reputable / reliable people that can do this for you...
when we don't know where you are though :

Good advice!! If circumstances aren't forcing a sale keep it, even if you are not in a position to finish it now you may be down the track.

Heres an XC Coupe for sale on the forum:
http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11226536

It seems like it has good body and paint, wouldn't take much to put on the road and enjoy as is or make a really good base if anyone has grander plans.

Interested parties should contact the owner direct.

Here's some more pics:

[Pinkbits]

If any one is interested in a XC Fairmont coupe, factory 351, top loader, disc brake 9" with extra's like factory sunroof, air & steer as well as electric windows. Body is in excellent condition and very straight. Paint is Red pepper.
It is partly disassembled and rear screen is out, but comes with car. I'm told it has been garaged for the past 20 years, and looking at the car yesterday it looks like it.
P.M me your details and i will pass them on.

gents, please go easy on me as I am new.

Looking for a coupe, not fussed as to XA,XB,XC as a base for a project with a GT500 motor. Not concerned re mechanical condition just want a body that is relatively straight and as rust free as possible. Am I dreaming re finding one and what sort of dollars I am looking at. There is a rolling shell on ebay but looks a bit rough. Any advice appreciated.

I don't know of any rolling bodies going for sale. What is your budget?

I know this may seem a bit pricey for what you want to do but have you considered the Platinum Blue XC I posted up on the previous page? It looks to be a good body and very presentable as is.

Otherwise keep looking at ebay, carsales, trading post etc. If I hear of others comming up for sale I'll post up here.

Good luck with it.

You all seem to know what you're on about, which is a nice thing. I'm new to this forum and new to Coupe ownership. I'm building a recently acquired rust free '74 XB, but am not planning on going fully original with it. I need to know whether an XC steering column will fit in to the XB. I know that the ignition is different - is that the only difference or is the indicator stalk also different?

Thanks for your help!

[Bearman]

Here's a couple of rather tuff big block Landaus on Carsales. These bad boys look to be pretty decent buying. Does anyone know these ones??

I put an XC/ZH Blank column in my ZF Fairlane which shares the same dash frame as the XA/XB. You will have to modify the shroud as the XC/ZH is round at the dash wheras the XA/XB is rectangular. If you use an XC indicator stalk then yes you will have to cut the plugs off both the stalk and the loom and get some after market male and female multi plugs and rewire it as the XC is different to the XB.
I'm not sure whether an XB stalk will fit into an XC column!
Here is a photo of a ZH Fairlane steering column in my old ZF Fairlane.

Don't know the owners but one of them was listed on ebay...after a few days a notice was on the listing asking for no bids as it was already sold...bids got up to $30,000.
Not bad when you consider the matching numbers donk was not in the sale but if the description was accurate, a great body to enjoy some understeering fun in!

[Ducati888]

Thanks XCGXL. Very useful info. You photo shows that you used the XC ignition. Will the XB ignition fit on to the XC column so that you can use the XB dash shroud?

Rewiring the indicator stalk is no problem.

Cheers!

Hi Ducati and welcome to the forums. If you start a new thread in the technical section here http://www.fordforums.com.au/forumdisplay.php?f=229 as this would be the best area to discuss and hopefully get more responses ....

Cheers

I'd be surprised if it makes the asking price,keeping in mind it cant be legally rego'd and is in a god awfull colour,as well as needing rust repairs,which as we know turn out to be the tip of the iceberg in these..also a few porky's being told in the description..

Still it is a coupe so you never know..
