Hi Norm, I agree Norm the Hyundai is a good car for it's price, I've serviced one for a family member for the last 9 years, all that it's needed was tyres, servicing and it's just had it's first set of front brake pads changed and just had it's first battery replaced.
I've found parts for the Hyundai are very reasonable on eBay compared with the Hyundai dealer.
The only complaint I would have is the driving position feels uncomfortable after driving for a few hours compared with the Aussie cars .Obviously designed for shorter Koreans.
The Dirty Deeds Brougham would be worth a lot more now I would imagine.
I don't mind what cars people drive,most cars aren't made to be street racers,as long as they get you from A to B.
I can't imagine the old Ford LTD as a race car but what people may not know is the extra foot of sheet metal tacked onto the prem to make a Brougham actually made the Brougham handle better than other Holden models.
The 1968 Kingswood HK 307ci ,powerglide won state titles for off road racing,I don't think if you raced the LTD off road it would be a success.
