"Genuine cash buyers only"

I hope he doesn't mean it literally cause that's a lot of cash to count.

**Uncle_Ken** · 07-05-2015, 10:42 PM

Remember seeing it on stage at the old Perth Auto expo. Ford were desperate to get back their performance image back then. Seen it driving around too.

Isn't there a rule about posting extra-curricular content here?

Ruination · 07-05-2015, 10:53 PM

For 115k, I would of hoped it came with better wheels than that. They ruin the look I think

**Uncle_Ken** · 07-05-2015, 10:56 PM

A shot..

FYI I have no connection to the seller.

You're talking of the "Arrow" coupe. That was built by Autotek and not Ford

and looked better than this one imo

Seriously how did Ford come up with this ugly duckling after the gorgeous Commodore Coupe concept?

malazn mafia · 08-05-2015, 02:55 AM

Was that an actual Ford product or a chopped sedan? What is that engine, doesnt look like a Wheezer V8 fitted to normal AU?

Adamz Ghia · 08-05-2015, 07:28 AM

It had the 4.6l from memory. And a set of T3's would look very nice on that car...!

Trump · 08-05-2015, 08:12 AM

Ford Motor Company did not build either AU coupe.

Falcon SXR8 · 08-05-2015, 08:27 AM

Change the wheels and body kit to t3 spec and it would probably look really nice.

HULK_I6T · 08-05-2015, 08:34 AM

Riduculous price.

I like the low km but at the end of the day its a au with a windsor v8 in it. Might give him $8000 because it has low km.

Can buy a t3 for under $20k if you must have the best AU.. other AU falcons are worth much less than that..

Can get a new fgx xr8 and a new mustang for his asking price

Quite right Loudy. See post # 19 in this thread ... http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=1403

**SSD-85** · 08-05-2015, 08:49 AM

Ummm, it has a 4.6L DOHC modular in it Hulk, not a Windsor....

**PepeLePew** · 08-05-2015, 08:52 AM

Many things but slouch not

And you'd be the proud owner of an AU. Not the 300+

At least this one is a bit different from the norm. Price is a bit high, I agree but he's right in saying that it's one of a kind now.

Unless the others still exist somewhere?

Nope, not talking about that fugly thing, I'm talking about a canary yellow 300+. I've seen it somewhere.

xxx000 · 08-05-2015, 09:28 AM

Yep those cheap looking chrome wheels are hideous

Colour of the car doesn't suit shape either imho

MAD · 08-05-2015, 10:17 AM

Doesn't have the headlights it was fitted with at the motor show, different wheels, different wing, no chrome boot garnish.

Don't know what the deal is, but show spec was much better.

Pretty sure there was a burgandy one built too, but it might have been a 300+ sedan.

*EDIT* There was a burgandy one.

Also looks like this must have been the actual spec on sale, not the show spec, as the wheels on the burgandy one looks the same as this one for sale.

**Polyal** · 08-05-2015, 10:23 AM

Yeah the original is better.

BUT..I prefer the Oxford Green version with the XR front end.

I think he is talking about the original coupe prototype by Hilliers, they didn't change the front end of it and was based on AU1.

Ah, ok. Never saw that one

**Grunter** · 08-05-2015, 11:03 AM

Arrow

BA looks the part.

grey_esp · 08-05-2015, 11:14 AM

the show car had a black engine bay too. Makes you wonder if its even the same car. I thought you could just order them from a company here back in the day??
