Hi guys, I am new to this forum. I have a 73 Landau made in Australia. They have lots of the same parts as the USA cars and came standard with a Cleveland, FMX, 9" disc rear, Electric windows, Pwr steer, AC. I am about to swap out the FMX for an AOD. I have included some pics of a recent event I drove to in Echuca Victoria. Cheers Greg

The pics were taken in Echuca Victoria in September this year. There was a Ford coupe weekend for the Aussie coupes from 72 to 78. 118 cars attended. The next organised event is in 2017 at the Bathurst track to celebrate the 1 2 win by Ford coupes numbered 1 and 2. That should be some fun on the track.
