I just bought a DF LTD for $1500, V8, 220 k's, body straight but scratches on paint need work. Good interior but needs a thorough clean.
They go for about 1500-3000. You will see some for more than that but they are dreaming. They go cheap these days. |

I bought a DL a year ago with a 5.0 and I still have my DC.
The DL was very well looked after and was smooth to drive. Test that everything works and appears well maintained. Whilst mine was low klm, I still made sure the engine was good, even though I planned on a rebuild (165kw is sluggish) I had a custom dual 2.25 with X-member from head to tail. Sounds awesome withoput unwanted attention.

Great cars, easy to get comfortable in and cruze.
Plenty of hammered ones around so be patient and wait for a good one. I like DF's interior a little better with black buttons and seatbelts break up the cappa color. But they are all awsome!

Hey mate,
Thought i'd give you another option. I'm thinking of selling a 98 Fairlane By Tickford. Price is up from other Fairlanes asking 13k. But you pretty much get EL GT running gear in a Fairlane!
