Love it 351Fly. Have you done much resto or is it mostly original? Looks great!

Coupe cruiser09 I brought it 9 years ago for a steal she was rusty.The original colour was budget green 302 clevo C4 auto.Factory gs dash, steering wheel, gt/gs bonnet and grill and the alloy rear wing fron factory.We rebuilt her back up to the way she is now.
She was my daily driver until 2 years ago,then brought a xb gs ute to cruise to work in

there seems to be a lot of projects getting finished, or on the way and heaps of new members to the forum with coupes - so it's time to inform or remind that "echuca 2009" is just over 18 months away.
those who went to the "hardtop anniversary" will never forget such a great weekend, with coupes coming from sth aust., nsw, vic. and tas. - 79 in all, and spectators coming from qld as well (sorry if i have not known of anyone from other states).
it is still along time from now, but if you love coupes, it is well worth starting to plan to get there.
details and program will be released a fair bit closer to the event, but it should be september 2009.

it looks great - would love to see more pics. you can post them in numerous areas, but two good places are "the ford coupe club" sub forum (everyone is welcome, whether members or not) and also the "show us your coupe" thread under show and shine. the coupe club sub forum is for xa-xb-xc-landau coupes and the show us your coupe caters for all cars that are coupes. why not post on both

Happy?

N.b. The bonnet really is the same colour as the rest of the car. I have no idea why it looks different in the picture.
