Yeah I think a room should be booked!!!!!!
Yep, and that same era people bought the Leyland E38 (yeah, I know P76, but it was half a car) and even the Targa Floria. You couldnt give one away in the 90's.

AU and BA's. bwahahahahaha
Id hesitate a guess, based on what I see on the road, the Statesman would have similar comparisons. Out of curiosity what are their numbers for a comparison?

Is there even room for a sunroof?

Youd have to step out of it to change your mind.

AP6 is a fine car, a desireable car. It has a great engine similar to the used in a muscle car. But at 20 foot long with an auto and leather its not a muscle car. Don't let that deter you. It is a good thing. V8 (4V at that) 9" A/c lots of stuff. Who cares anyway. :

I was refering to the fact that the LTD has the stronger crank and 4 bolt 351, where as the rest of the lineup (save for the Falcon GT) has the 'standard' crank and 2 bolt 351. I know there are specific denotations for them, however I cant remember them and I dont care to look them up.

no deal, P6 motors are just regular 351s with 2 bolt mains and 4MA cranks. the GT falcon wasnt available when the P6 (XC Falcon) was released anyway???

I don't believe any Aus 351 had a 4bolt bottom end. Ever?

Correct, all clevelands fitted to australian cars were 2 bolt regardless of model, 4ma cranks are US cranks fitted to US made clevelands..
