I cannot believe that this thing has bids on it at $300! Even worse, it's below reserve still!

Yeah I know, but still!

It's an EA ex-taxi, that's been around the clock (note the 100k quoted as the mileage) & the gas system is probably totally stuffed anyway. You can find kits for this sort of money or less.

My favourite bit is the "specially ordered" seat covers. They look awesome!

Mmmm. That is so hot. Taxi yellow with brown interior and column shift

:

I like how under description it says it's a manual. Um, no. It's a column shift auto

Auto is that shagged that you need to shift manualy?

Not even worth it for the parts. The ultimate POS.

LOL. I always wanted to rice up an EA to poke fun at ricers. This would go well for that!

people always forget that taxis are the best looked after fords, they go through extremely strict routine servicing, and even one at 800,000ks would drive better then buying a ford off a p plater with 250,000ks on it. although in this case, the taxi would have been out of service at least 12-15 years, so my point isnt too valid for this particular car.

Possibly. But then your still left with a dirty yellow faded banged up POS with an interior that smells like 1000 butts.

Did you know they say that taxis have the healthiest motors because they never stop and they run at constant temp all the time, as the cabbies do not turn the car of while waiting at the ranks.

As for this on WOW i want it, its what every e-series member craves for. lol

Psycho Chicken · 14-07-2007, 09:30 AM

I'd daily that. Gas, column shifts are better for handbrake turns and it's got the Dukes of Hazzard wheels ready for a confed flag and some crazy driving.

bentles · 14-07-2007, 10:03 AM

reckon that giant cloud of smoke is from the car?

blur1 · 14-07-2007, 10:13 AM

na, probably the STINK cloud from the interior!

This thing would have easily seen the clock around atlest once. It would be CFI aswell being a GL $300 is a good price the reserve is probably $2000.............sif!

You could get GLs with multipoint, but I'd say you're right that this one would be CFi. Most of the taxis were CFi I think.

Didnt think you could get GL's in multioint I though GL was only CFI?

Multipoint was optional across the range except for Ghia (where it was standard)

Here's a page from the brochure scans that proves this

In the "description" section halfway down the page, it says Transmission: Manual

Under that box, it says 4 speed auto though

private9 · 14-07-2007, 03:08 PM

Ended at $300. The owner would have to be rapt with that price!

EA BT1 :P

**Sorted** · 14-07-2007, 08:53 PM

There is an EA EB ED white wagon next door for $600, I dunno how to tell the diff by looking at it.

Maybe he sould put it on eBay and get it off his front lawn........

fordzatmyplace · 14-07-2007, 08:57 PM

Bah!! At least its an E-series and has lasted this long. I'd rather that then a VL owned by derro's for the last 10 years.
