They didnt actually... I had an NL Concorde V8 that had a single in it. hey Rick. owned  thanks for yout input. oh congrats on the RWC on your stock EA. it only took 2 years thanks

you actually had to de-option the LTD to get it with a 6.
thats why they are so rare.

{USERNAME} wrote: yeah its a shame cause i really want one and i'll be shattered if i can't drive the v8 version if anyone spots a 6 up for sale please hit me up Unfortunately it's still on the vicroads restricted list, so you can't drive it. But to be honest, I don't really see a point in waiting for an LTD. Don't get me wrong, I love LTD's but I'd wait till I'm off my P's and get a clean V8 then. In saying that, just get an NL Fairlane Ghia man. The only difference is basically - The grille (just chuck one on the fairlane) - The premo sound: Option on the fairlane, but would most likely be sh;thouse now with ratteling sub, sunburnt brittle rear speakers and mould infested crackly front speakers. All this can be fixed like I did on my ghia but its not really worth the effort tbh. So you'd replace it anyway. - Leather seats (Just a different shape and slightly more supportive really. I think late NL Fairlane ghias came with stock leather anyway, which were the ones found on the Fairmont Ghia) - Electric Seats (Most likely slow anyway) - Self Leveling suspension (I heard they're sh;t, and a b;tch to lower) - Few extra trim bits here and there like woodgrain, pads, etc Not really worth fussing over and you can always fit the LTD parts anyway. Having said that, here are two clean fairlanes for you too have a look at, one even has an LTD grille http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/detai ... rt=default http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/detai ... rt=default Hope this helps |

Hey all. I just bought my first Fairlane and thought id share her here.
She only has 113,000km on the dial, is like new inside and only has a couple of minor dents. Runs great and I absolutely love it.

thanks for the input TheELghia
yeah dw i'm considering all options, just i would prefer an ltd, cause its pretty much all that my family has owned, my grandfather had a 77 P6, and 88 Da (which he gave to me) and he also had an 86 for a little while. I am however going to call up vicroads and see if i can get an exception (no harm in asking) but if nothing comes up then i'm going to have to go for a lane  hahaha verry good point EA_SVO_90 |

i have owned and driven alot of fairlanes and LTD's and i can honestly say you dont get the attention in any of the newer models. NA/NC DA/DC is where its at. if i was you id hold onto the DA and just keep driving it. she seems like a great rig so unless there was something that you honestly needed in the newer model i wouldnt bother upgrading it yet.

yeah i know what your mean, I love the shape of the DA/NA's but there's just way to many problems with it. I think the NF/NL's a really good looking cars too, i'm not a fan of the au and up.
my three favorite shapes in order are 77 P6, 88 DA, 97 NL so the dl is in my top three. Plus there are the safety features and the newer models are a bit more comfortable. I'm not happy that iI have to get rid of her but it must be done
