XD's were made from 1979 until 1981!
Looks like you missed the party.
XE's are having their birthday this year.
30 years old, not 40.

Slotrumer,
Model run ended late 81, but some were still produced after that, so yes you will see some 82 plated XD's, just like i've personaly seen 81 plated XE's, but having said that, it still dosn't make them 40, and it's still not their birthday as a birthday is when their born, not when they died!

And i don't believe a top loader or 9in diff is a factory fit in a XD.
