Default What a tool

Have a look at this one !!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FORD-FALCON-G...1%7C240%3A1318

The car can only really be used as a race car or parts, as he hasn't got the ID plates for the car........
And the GT plates isn't really worth anything more than a talking point over a game of eight ball in the shed !!!!, or maybe beer coasters, yet he whats 15k for it !!!

If someone is interested as i know guys here are looking for projects. I do not know the owner. A guy has an XB coupe project on boostcruising.com in brisbane. Bit rough but after following the project sections nothing is impossible.

Here we go, a nice clean XB. This one has been previously linked but the price has dropped somewhat. Looks to be good value.

a little steep price wise though

love the landau's - but $40k in this environment may be a little steep

Hey XA351 Coupe,
I noticed the more you post the cheaper they get.
Can you post some more till you get down to my price range?
(Still kicking myself I sold mine years ago)

Agreed. This looks to be a really good unit. Nothing to spend, just turn the key and cruise. I reckon this one's quite a good buy.

He could have started at $49,000 if he didnt have those wheels on it! Apart from those which would go straight back onto Ebay ...... not a bad coupe at all!

Without revisiting the other thread .... which I will anyway ...... just goes to show that 40k is alot for a bitsa coupe to do up as a replica when they are still available for aorund that price. Even if this goes to 60k, which I am sure it wont, still in front buying this than starting from scratch.

Well said, i'm in agreement on all points including the wheels, they just don't suit like a set of of Convo Pros or weld Pro Stars.

Looks OK but the interior needs work. Those Landau buckets look out of place. Could benefit from a custom interior and an engine bay cleanup. Sounds like it's had plenty spent on it. I reckon $30K is about its worth.

Unless you want to pay for a "Genuine GT", i think a "Bitsa GT" is all you will get these days for these sort of prices and be able to drive it away, i guess it all depends on what sort off bits you want to pay for, IMHO......

Default One for worse thing done to a coupe?

Unsure about the Lexus engine but Supra tail lights? Ruins one of the best features of the XB.
