Was it 250 were built ? I guess there were a few replicated though after the originals .

On replicas..Here's a favourite of mine and I'm unashamedly an XY fan and the same for Wild Violet . Non genuine or not I'd have this any time .

If only allowed 1 then think it is the one i have - ceramic coated, twister orange mustang gt with shadow pack (cobra or phase 3 be nice but only allowed one, neither would probably fit in my garage, maybe the phase 3)

Gunna need a bigger garage.

First choice - A 2012 GT RSpec in Silhouette with Vixen decals and red rims. Can't miss it on the road!

Second choice - a 2014 GTF in Octane. Can't beat the most powerful falcon ever manufactured & last of the FPVs.

Third choice - a 2016 XR8 in Winter White. I think you can pick one up for around $40k with around 40k on the clock. Seems like good value to me. Without any decals, it looks classy. Owning a falcon from the final year of manufacture would be nice.

Fourth choice - an XR6 Turbo Sprint. Most powerful 6 from the final year of manufacture. Any colour will do.

Any of those four in my non-existent garage I'd be happy with.

This is amazing ...Imagine if Ford Falcon had gone down this path with the Barra T ...and with a major AWD development like this bloke has done ..

You would have a very hard time slotting a C16 in a LNT. Most of it would be in the cab with you.

Sort of on-topic - found this image online of a coupe in a large, neat garage, complete with a 1977 1-2 motif facing it:

I have lotsa favourites; my current one:

Just saw one of the FG GT Falcons in the special black and red colour - red stripes, and on wheels.

First time in person - not sure if I liked it or not (I prefer conservative looking) but it certainly stood out and was in perfect condition.

**DJR-351** · 07-05-2020, 06:37 PM

I'll take both thank you........i'm greedy

People either luv them or hate them. It's rare that someone sits on the fence. Perhaps you're just being diplomatic (a good quality for a discussion forum member).

The first time I saw one it was next to me on the road on a Saturday morning. I laughed hard but deep down I knew I loved it.

Mate yeah probably being a bit diplomatic but in saying that I genuinely couldn't decide!!

Some aspects of the car looked fantastic to me and other parts not so much. (especially the wheels)

In any case, it certainly looks different and yeah I have no doubt at all that many, obviously including their owners, would absolutely love the unique aspects.
