Sus it is, Ryan. The compliance plate reads engine "T" which IIRC is the 351cid Cleveland V8 with 4V heads. H

Nice spotting.
Why would anyone want to replace a 351 with a bloody nissan diesel?

That, my friend, I cannot answer.
A good 4V is worth a few bob but I bet the engine swap wasn't cheap, either!

I'm sus too as the ID plate indicates its trim is black and paint is black. Rego indicates it was first civy regoed in 1977 and didnt belong to the army. I suspect its a full mock up.

Discription has been changed. Was the bid made before or after the discription change?

I went and had a look at this a couple of years ago when I was still hunting parts for mine. Extremely poor condition this one. I didn't look at it for long.

I checked with local Ford dealer today. It WAS supposed to be black & black. There is NO military or Govt link at all that has been recorded. Great story though, he should write childrens books!

It would seem the seller has recently been informed (or finally checked properly) of the true heritage. Fancy stating as fact, the crap in the listing! Some silly b/stard that couldn't bother to investigate would have bought that, thinking it was "Very Rare". I guess it is rare if you consider what the poor thing has suffered, the indignity of a 4cyl diesel in a Ford loxury vehicle.

Looks like he's seen the light about misleading information and what the legal ramifications could be if sold. K Nob!
