Goodmorning AFFers, Ive come across some photos of the drags thought I'd share them. I dont think these ones are too old. I know there's heaps more so I'll add to the them when I find them. Sorry about the quality I was bored this morning and done it on my phone. When I get a scanner I'll do them again properly on the computer, but thought they were good enough to share. Please enjoy.

Thanks for sharing, they are some very tough looking coupes. What kind of numbers were they running?

Great pics people, it was always my dream to own a coupe when I was a young fella, I couldn't afford then and now I can't justify the expense

Moved house a year ago & recently unpacked these gems. The one on the left was a summer national street winner. The other 2 are just street meet winner & runner up.

Here is my dads XT.
 My friends XTGT. Yes that's Michael Cranks old XT. This was back when Michael had it and was running for SA fastest street car with 10 sec time slips. My mate bought it with a different motor in it but ended up getting in 11.8 out of her.
