1972 Ford Falcon XA Ute, with a 302 (4.9) litre V8 and a four speed toploader gearbox. The engine was a Cleveland model, built in Australia.
Yes it was a V8 but it was pretty good on the fuel side of things, and I was living in the country outside of Sydney at the time doing an apprenticeship so city driving only happened rarely.
This photo is from Wikipedia, but my car was the same minus the side strip.
Soild car that never let me down, used to throw two dirt bikes in the back tray and off we'd go. Drove that ute around Aussie too, excepting West Aussie.
