I must have had the 2 good ones then. XE sedan with a 351 Auto on straight gas with not a spec of rust. Awesome cheap to run cruiser. Currently have an XE S pack ute at the farm too with no rust. The old spray painter I used to work with decided to upgrade to a Hilux. I got him in touch with another mate who had the exact combo he wanted so he gave me the XE as a finders fee.
Also had a few ED six seater sedans and use an AU for thrashing around the farm as well.

I still see a few on the road around here. The owners look pretty "original" so I'm guessing they've probably spent their whole life in Canberra.
