don't know what's wrong with these, they are both worth what the people are asking, i know i'd take either of these over an XB coupe every day of the week.

in the defense of the chopper, it may very well have had a roof that needed a lot of work around the gutters and particuarly if it had a vinyl roof, much more work to get it looking right again

I always take the... "Its there car so they can do WHATEVER they want" line. BUT in this case ...... OMFG!!!!!!!!

The spoiler, the roll cage, the autobahn side protection, the self tappered reflectors, the hub caps, the EVERYTHING ELSE!!!!! The worse part is ....... 60K????????? Not even 10K for a daily driver.

I thought PINK was on some nasty drugs when he said that std coupes are fetching 200k and was about to ask for some until I read the discription in the add!!!! Get a grip on reality!!!!

Why hasnt this been to any car show I have been too? Embarresment? The only thing is it was done in the 90's when coupes were dime a dozen.

SO in saying all this ............. Hands up who has put an offer in??????? Come on now! Someone must have???? (I did until you all bagged it and with drew my offer.) :

Next time someone tells you that you can never have enough tools, there is always this guy! One TOOL that you don't want...

Desecration at it's absolute worst. But then again a standard one is worth 200k after all, this one is a bargain :

Everyone say it with me - "My Falcon Coupe Looks Fully with Supercheap hubcaps, titanic towbar and da spoiler from my mates Hi-Undies Excel"

$6,000 maybe. $60,000 I think is alittle rich. And if stockies are going for $200,000 then the GT I saw must be worth $500,000, Haven't seen many with the protection pack or Marchal BiOptics, which are worth stupid money on their own.

XB front XA rear...

Actually lose the spoiler and that hidious red reflector strip across back, change the wheels and some details such as the white roll bar, and el cheapo rub strips, give it asome nice wheels and a paint job and it has potential.

However given that it looks like it could be two cars joined together and given the cheap trimming job, i hate to think how well done the cutting etc was done, it will prob warp twist and crack quickly.

I couldn't find the details to abuse them..

But seriously, I see potential, if you paid 6k for it, not 60.

This just makes me sad for another coupe lost. The best part of the coupe is the roof line in my opinion. I bet it flexes horribly on the road.

Sorry, I know i shouldn't, and even though it's a coupe, that rear shot's the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

THe ad says "being sold as-is, to allow a new enthusiast to express their own creativity."

I hope this means putting a turret back on it!
