A classic car enthusiast who paid 80-thousand-dollars for a vintage Ford later found it had several Holden donor parts

Open Justice reports Gary Brown bought the 1956 Ford F-100 in May 2019, in exchange for two of his vehicles.

Now the business that sold it to him must pay him 77 thousand after the Motor Vehicle Disputes Tribunal found he'd been misled over the deal.

A specialist certifier found the vehicle had been significantly modified, to the degree it was essentially two vehicles joined together and not safe in its current condition.
