I have recently (and unfortunately) taken ownership of my late father's car which is a 1990 Ford Fairmont Ghia EAII, 5 litre V8, 5 speed manual.
Which was built by Ford motor group company at its Campbellfield assembly plant December 1990 (compliance plate date)
I have all the certified documents from Ford themselves confirming everything about this "PROTO BUILD" that was built at there assembly plant, Included is the following information i have thus far:
SIDO No, Serial prefix No, Model No, Engine No/Code, Transmission Code, Trim Code, Paint Code, Date of manufacture and options:
"pre- delivered by Ford Australia Product Engineering Office"
Further on this document states:
"The vehicle certainly is unique as Ford Australia were not offering an optional V8 engine in December 1990. Subsequently, a V8 engine was introduced at the next model, EB Falcon in September 1991".
My Father was then told that "somewhere" on/in the car it actually has a plate certifying it was a proto build...I found it!!
Underneath the back parcel shelf written in a permanant marker withe the following:
(please excuse me,if i get anything wrong as its quiet faded now)
QIDA-F-4650634 (i think) p/p 25/06/90
EDA 5337 surplus ED PROTO BUILD
So as you can see its quiet an interesting car and im KEEN to find out AS MUCH as i can prior to the change over ect... ANYTHING!
