You can have a look at the Ford owners web sites .I have seen info regarding them there although I dont remember exactly where.
Most of them went Queensland and NSW.
Peter 2 is correct about the running gear,it was all quality and the best at the time.
I heard the body wasnt up to the standard of the mechanicals leading to bent floors.
If your friend has one he would be better off doing a resto and retiring it from 4wd.
They sure wont make these again.
There is a booming market in the US for those oddities that the aussie car market coughed up in the 70s
The GTHOs,Monaros,Toranas,V8 utes all attract double their
home price to colectors overseas.
