Tim,

The 6.9 does not have front or rear springs.
All 6.9 engines are dry dumped.
Some models had also ABS...

So, what's so unique about Kent's car?

Okay.

Can not remember seeing a 6.9 with ABS brakes in AUS before.

Was an option from December '78 (but damn expensive, as if the car itself wasn't expensive enough).

I'd have thought if he was highlighting a good feature, that those areas on his car would be immaculate. Instead, it's missing the surround around the HVAC control knobs....
