What's even worse is that gawd-awful rear spoiler they put on it. Way to wreck what was once a nice car

oh my god. that looks really bad. im honestly shocked. that could have been a really nice coupe and then that has gone and happened. well done for being unique but do it on another car. leave the coupes to enthusisits and people who are going to keep them to there original glory.

Well what can I say, it's unique! I wish him good luck with the sale. (Somehow I think he'll need it.)

Wonder what engine it has got, because it's says it's got a 5.4l. Looks ok but there are a thing on it that make it look cheap.

Lose the wing the wheels and the towbar, equals great promotional car, or be different to the sheep and have something that attracts attention at car shows. I see potential?????

For 60 grand you would of at least expected a set of nice rims.
How would it pass the engineers report with the seat belt mounting points being so low? The spoiler, red plastic strip, fuel filler and tow plug are beyond comprehension. Then there's the "Stock standard XB Coupes are now fetching prices of up to $200,000." |

Stock standard XB Coupes are now fetching prices of up to $200,000. At $60,000 this convertible is a super-rare investment.
But look its a great in vestment your saving 140k on a stock standard one

You know I never thought to use imagination as a selling point....imagine that. To paraphrase John Lennon "Imagine all the people, Lining up to buy this caa aa aa aaa ar, You may say I'm a dreamer...."

 : People that think about doing this to a coupe should go and get a mustang convertable. They dont call coupes hard tops for nothing you know. And please $60,000 for that with all those cheap crappy bits on it lol. Mine would be worth every bit of $200,000 :togo: if he gets 60 for that pile of super cheap auto bits.

i have had the pleasure (most diplomatic verb i can think of) of seeing this car a few times in the flesh and the nicest thing i can say is it is different. hopefully the roof was totally cactus before they cut it off. do they not realise the best thing about coupes is the roof line - and that great big roll bar
$200,000 for a standard xb coupe - that must make mine between $150,000-$220,000. maybe i could think about selling seriously though, all gt owners would feel pretty stooooopid now wouldn't they. they paid the big money previously to get a gt, and now they are only worth up to $100,000 and the standard coupe is worth twice that

the co-ordination is a bit hideous, BUT, the car was converted in 1990, before they were as sought after as they are today.
with a little work, this car could be really nice, and would be way better to see it as a vert than in a paddock rusting away. its certainly not worth 60k though |
