Ive been looking at BF turbos since january and have been appalled at what is on offer.

Many are subject to firesales and are heavily modified. saw a lightning strike BF appear for like 30 seconds and apparently it had 365rwkw listed for $7.5k. another BF listed for the same but 'no service history' and basic mods (injectors, tune)

The cracker was one I checked out recently that said in the ad " PAINT IS STARTING TO SHOW SOME AGE ON CERTAIN AREAS, BUT THAT’S EXPECTED ON A 10 YEAR OLD CAR.. " when it actually needed a complete respray with comprehensive preperation work required. This one was off its tits with 550HP but the guy won't go lower than 15. he going to struggle to get $10k so that's what I offered....he was asking like $18k. it also had boot rust which was to the worst extent id ever seen in a falcon.

Yeh there are some seriously questionable cars out there. I'll get the wedding paid for first then look at a FG/fg-X or if a majestic F6e pops up I'll see if I can snap it up! They don't come up very often though

F6E's are damn rare yeah.  Seen maybe 5 in total, ever, and I do heaps of driving.  A couple of those have only been seen because the owners took them on cruises!

FPV gone the way of the dinosaurs buddy, long time ago. The Sprint is the scraps left on the factory floor stuck together with vinyl stickers!

Yep, Fords said CYAMTE to the FPV operation, and took over all the gear.
