Adam Butler's XM Sedan

I have always wanted to own a car from the year I was born, preferably a Ford and a Falcon, so when this came up, I could not resist. The previous owner was a crash repairer who done all the hard work, although the paint jog whilst it looks alright in the pictures is pretty average. I have owned it for approx 2 years and all that I have done is add a new exhaust box and tail pipe and fitted up a few things like the thermo fan, heater, wipers and bonnet heat shield stuff. It requires a rubber kit and some more work. It has a 250 motor with a 3 speed gearbox. It is pretty quick off the mark and has no troubles smokin' Holdens at traffic lights ! It is fun to drive and certainly turns some heads. The number plates 1964-XM really set off  'Crystal' nicely.
