Comments from the seller
Rare (in Australia) RHD, LX version (GT ++) V8, 5 speed manual, a/c cold, cruise, LSD, power steer, auto roof. No money to spend,. . Eligible for the club permit. --- Excellent condition not restored, hobby car, low mileage, fully detailed large history file, includes Ford workshop manuals, excellent paint NO rust, NO leaks. Every thing working, even the period cassette player, 4 new Bridgestone tyres, ECU upgraded to 1993 unit. Engineers report, to comply with South Australian registration, extensive mechanical refurbishment. Work done by RAA approved professionals with receipts.. The only computer on the car is the engine control unit (ECU), which means it is cheap and easy to maintain, as everything is "old school". Current older owner finds it hard to drive a manual, so this car MUST be passed to a new guardian. Serious, then pick up the phone. Please genuine inquiry only, no txt or messages , Calls Only, blocked numbers not answered, thanks old chap.
The US race crowd, picked up on the fact that the LX came equipped with the same performance as the GT, but weighed some 100 + lbs. less. It came with GT engine, the handling of the GT suspension all wrapped up in the smoother styling of the LX.
A credit to previous owners and the colour is Cream. Eligible for club permit and Bay to Birdwood.
A well looked after club/hobby car being imported in 1996 by the first owner who bought it when he lived in USA,
RHD by Crossover in Melbourne 1997.
Major design occurred in 1987, those changes carried over to 1989, the 5.0-liter V8 put out 225 HP and 300 pd-ft of torque. The engine’s speed density computer system was replaced with a mass air flow system, making easier to receive aftermarket modifications.
The standard transmission is the 5-speed manual. The suspension system was that used for the GT. Gas-pressured front struts and rear Quadra-shock set-up to give a trim, performance ride. The quick 14.7:1 constant ratio power rack-and-pinion steering too. Traction-Lok (LSD) axle, 10-hole cast aluminium wheels were also part of the package. A real wolf in sheep’s clothing. A hoot to drive.
