look at this

he doesn't give a vin. what i'm wondering is if the engine is correct. it's console shift, and there's trim around the wheelwells, so it was an XL car. i've just never seen an XL car with a 200-6, i wonder if the engine was put in later. that's also the first 200 i've seen with ac, i bet that killed the horsepower, the 200 was only rated around 120 hp.

Going by a book I have it says the standard engine in all fairlanes - except the GTs - was the 200cid 6-cylinder, all the other motors were options.

i just never seen an XL with a 6. you'd think if someone were spending the money on the XL package they'd upgrade engines, too.

$105 for the 289, $206 for the 390, $184 for the cruise-o-matic for the 289,$214 for the 390, or $183for the 4 speed manual. Not really that much more to go for the v8, thats probably why there aren't to many 6 cylinder ones around.
