She is delightfully mental, and I mean that in a really good way.

Can I be picky and say that nice faux horizon should also be on the body?
Not that the mechanical line isn't keen too. Woo as usual etc.

She was a Police vehicle in NSW and has the correct fittings to prove it. Her driver purchased her when she was phased out in the early 80's and the X series Falcons came in after which she was mocked up like a Cobra. When the owner was too old to drive her, he GAVE HER to a guy I befriended many years later who owned her for 12 years prior to him selling her to me three years back. I love her more than anything. She was indeed, one of the last V8 Interceptors :D

my first thoughts were
how much does that cost to fill up ? probably does three miles to the gallon. what would the insurance be ? where do you get spares ?

In Australia with 98 octane fuel running at $1.58 a litre, if I half fill her tank, we're looking at just over $50. To fill her totally is over $90.
I haven't done mileage on her yet, because she's overdue for a Dynotune, but being a 351cu V8 that generates something in the vicinity of 393hp, it's tragic in traffic, but not too bad on the highway if you keep under 110km/hr.
Insurance isn't that much, but she's on full open rego which costs $980/yr because I drive her to work every friday. I bought her to drive, she's no trailer princess and yes, we get a lot of looks.
Spares aren't a problem, I have a shed full of them and lots of components are still available. Failing that, eBay always comes through with the goods. There's a lot of repro stuff around, but these days, some of it's not the best, so you should shop around.
Also, if you want more images of my little darling, here:

OK, I'm done. Can you tell I love her? :D
