Default Falcon GT taxi

Yes, I actually saw one today drive past work at lunch.
An FG GT taxi, yellow and all, apart from the panda eyes.
Sorry I didn't get any pics though.
It was a complete 'what the..' moment.
So if your ever down in Geelong and need a taxi, ask for the GT.

It's a replica. There is at least one thread on it already with pics.

Will definately ask for it if I need to get to Melbourne from Geelong in 30mins.

.... word around the traps this thing has the Boss 335 with 400RWKW on board, and is driven by an ex-V8 super car engineer....

I've heard it's a covert test bed for the V10 GTHO engine.

There must be at least two, because there's a GT Taxi always parked outside the same house in Coburg. Clearly the owner, and every time I see it out its around that area.

I've seen the GT taxi twice in Melbs - it'd be a shame if it's a fake...
