2000 Ford Fairlane Ghia V8 – Extensive Mechanical Rebuilds | Not a Project | NSW
High kilometres reflected in price, however major mechanical systems have been rebuilt/replaced — gearbox, rear diff, suspension, brakes, cooling and electricals. Car is not a project.
Overview
For sale is my 2000 Ford Fairlane Ghia V8 — a well-presented, mechanically sorted example suited to an enthusiast or buyer seeking a comfortable V8 cruiser without the uncertainty of major upcoming repairs.
This is not a low-kilometre garage car. It has travelled 302,000 km, however the mileage is reflected in the price and offset by extensive mechanical work already completed.
