The car was on the road until 2002. The car was only built and sprayed in 1995.
The car actually has new (in terms of K's) adjustable suspension/springs on all four corners, noalathane bushes throughout the steering and suspension (less than 1000 k's), an XD 351 engine with about 70,000k's a Top Loader with about 40,000k's (Came out of Brian Nappers race replica XC Cobra), vented XC discs and to top that off I have all the chrome ware (in great nick) stored in the shed, as with the XF Ghia interior that goes in it.
A respray will take me a few days, and It will cost about $400.
I guess it shows you can judge a book by its cover.
If I drop dead I guess someone gets to live the dream.

Cool. The most important thing in our hobby is enjoyment. Otherwise we wouldnt be working on our cars. Obviously you will get that, so I wish your project all the best.
I was just trying to say that generally one will most likely not find a pristine car in a barn, unless you're very lucky and the owner has stored it properly. But then a GT even better a Ph3, I wouldnt say no to even a really rough one... even though I've got enough hobby cars for the moment.
