Call it forign but Fbodys are made in canada, little to knowledge of many. Australia is just like canada, infact australia had its own muscle cars, yeah muscle cars they didn't get crippled by the gas crisis either so they never stopped pumping V8 sedans like we did. Infact when our engines started getting lame with anti dieseling solenoids and early emissions systems they built their own engines they had 270hp V8 sedans in the 80s.
