Hi Guys and gals,
I am the owner of the Deep Ivy Green Landau that Geepee was referring to in some prior postss. A bit of background the car is currently in need of a full restoration. I have most parts so hopefully things go smoothly during the resto (famous last words). The plan for the car is to get it back to factory spec including hubcaps. The only "factory" item that will be missing is the vinyl roof. We plan on completing the car for next year's or most likely 2011 All Ford Day at the Creek. I don't know a lot of history on the car. It was purchased from a dealer in the southwest of Sydney so not sure if it was the one seen in Hornsby. It currently has a "magnum" style rim so this would another way of identifying it. I am the third owner. So if I post a message with some people might think is a "silly" question, please don't hold it against me cause I do come from the Red side!!!!!!! I realise there aren't many Landau's left so we will try and bring her back to the best condition possible. Cheers, Phillip |

Hi Phillip,
Another Deep Ivy Landau. Mine is also that colour and waiting for a full resto. Does your Landau still have the vinyl roof on and if so what colour is it? Any chance you could post up some pics. I'd love to see it. Muzz |

Hi Muzz,
No vinyl roof as it was apparently deleted by the dealer when new. Here are some photos of her. The panel work should be done in the next few months. Hi FatassLandau, thanks for the offer I will contacting you at some point cause as I said, into another brand of cars (better not mention what type!)[IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][IMG][IMG][/IMG] |

Auslandau as you know nothing is for certain on a 35yr old car. The second owner was told this from the original owner. He got it removed immediately together with the installation of those magnum rims by the dealer. Could explain the lack of rust and repairs around front and rear screens I suppose. Cheers, Phillip |

is the car still track red? That would be a very rare colour. It was introduced with the XW around the time of the phase two and was used through XY and xa era cars. This may have been a bob stillwell special order colour on the car. Cheers Greg |

Bought mine b4 i had my L's, learnt to drive in it then drove it on my P's.
Currently torn down awaiting panel work. non matching 450hp rebuilt motor and fmx Serial Prefix JG70PT Serial Number 84597 SIDO 524342 Model Code 26317 - Landau 2 door hardtop Engine Code T - 351 CID 4V Transmission Code B - T-bar Cruisomatic Paint H - Tropic Gold (met) Trim P - Parchment leather Options 03 - Seat belts, mandatory 17 - Brown vinyl roof 72 - Radio/Stereo tape player Date of Manufacture April 1974 Retail Dealer 2557 - Ford Australia, Eastern Region, Sydney By the way you can tell if a landau was a genuine 4v motor ie 4v heads. Check the block if its Geelong foundry it would've been 2v. All 4v bigports were imported engines, they will have a cleveland foundry stamp. |

Hi all,
I am getting my Landau out of storage and thought i would add my details also to the list. JG70NE Engine T Trans B Trim B4 Paint H The car is original matching numbers and is unmolested. It has been off the road for about 9 years but a bit of nagging from my mates has helped me decide to get it out clean it up and get her out on the weekend. |

Great to see some Landau's getting the resto treatment for a change. A few years back my dad wreaked a couple and sold most of the parts. All this I kept was some of the "pop-up" headlight stuff such as vacum tanks and a cover. (if this helps anyone).
If anyone is keen to buy contact me and I will send pics :-) |

It is with great pride that I post here as an owner (well sort of owner - 24 hrs premature) as opposed to a closet fan!
