Scan of my original FoMoCo brochure from 1970, and the perfect 1970s towcar I reckon! Just wish I had the real thing, in a factory V8 please ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) ![](http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/tinnievan/XWwagonbrochure.jpg) Will look perfect on the wall of the franklin when done.... Cheers, Gristy

Gidday Hooligan
Like to see your wagon. I have posted another photo on the thread I started, well I actually posted three, but only one arrived. At least I got one on!!
Bit of a story on my post, but can go into a lot of history on the car, if you, or any body is interested.
To answer your question about the size of motor it is a 265 hemi, straight six. Just had the motor and gearbox rebuilt, and added a torquey towing cam.
Cheers

Gday vkgreenie, Sorry if i mislead, only have the brochure - not actual car ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) Actually, I have quite a number of Ford brochure's from 1970/1971, Falcon's, capri cortina etc, And one for the HQ model range too, even has prices written on it be the dealer of the time, with trade-in repayments etc, bit of a laugh when you look at new Holden prices now. Has your VK got exhaust mods? Those 265's have a great note with headers etc - and a lumpy cam ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) . Sounds like your pretty keen on the Mopars eh! Cheers, Gristy

Hi Hooligan Sure am into Mopar cars. ;D Seems to be a big interest in the 70's vintage muscle cars, and I noticed the other day, through Shannon's auctions that a Ford GTHO Phase 3, fetched 600 + thousand, with an estimation this same car will fetch one mil in a couple of years. ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) Bathurst built Chargers are getting a quarter of a mil, rebuilt Chargers 50-60 grand....but mine in the condition it is in, maybe 10, BUT NOT FOR SALE!!!!!! ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png) Just had the 265 in mine reconditioned, including the gearbox, big towing cam and yes it is very throaty and lumpy. A couple of years a ago had the pacer exhaust system fitted as well as a two and a quarter inch exhaust pipe fitted as well. Every body knows I'm coming. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) Now to find the elusive 70's van to compliment the Mopar car.......still looking. ;D Cheers vkgreenie
