How many 2 door e-series are there?

[FRDXR6]

I know theres the Scorcher? floating around but what about any others. I have never seen an ef/el 2 door.

Reason i ask is i found this in the trading post.

There was one in street fords recently, white and orange.
was a turbo 6 so it might be the above for sale one.

Havnt seen an EF/EL.

that would be actually, the 2 door EFFalcon refers to is actually an EB and is from NSW, which is fitting the description prity well, so yea it sounds like thats it

This is the one that appeared in Street Fords


It appeared in Issue 20, the same issue that LTDHO appeared in. It seems to have been created by the same people who created the Sony Scorcher. Even the orange paint is similar!

And in this thread, you'll find pics of the Sony Scorcher

Looks good but i think it needs a 1.5"-2" chop top to get the proportions right. The quarter window looks too tall.

scorcher was made by street machine magazine, and was a 1 off...however they had a couple of companies onside who made various things for sale, like the glass and the bodykit....... and with the right body work experience anyone can knock one of these up if they have the glass to go in.....
just my take on it anyway


as for that exact car thats for sale,......would be nice but have fun getting it on the road.... the 2 door conversion might be easy enough to get legal butthe turbo i'd think not........ and remember, you need a RWC before you can get rego

[DEVL-XR]

Both of those 2 doors look crap! Especially the sony scorcher, from the back it looks so much like a skyline.
Theres just something about that rear quarter window that dosent look right.

thats just your opinion...... i think thye look perfect

In that street machine article they said that they thought the scorcher was the only 2 door, so ur not likely to find any others out there!

[ac351]

I was working near Tenterfield (northern NSW) a few years back and there was this mob in town that were doing 2 door conversions to Falcons. I can't remember their name but it was something like Hillier Conversions. There was usually a red 2 door AU parked out the front. Also saw a 2 door EA there once. I saw a green AU they did in a magazine ( ? - Street Machine) a couple of years ago. Not sure if they did other models as well but no reason not to.

I'll dig up the article from Street Fords when I get back to Melbourne and scan it up. From what I recall, the company that worked with Street Machine to build the Scorcher built a few extra bodies. The original Sony Scorcher is an EA, but the one that appeared in Street Fords is an EB (although it has EA taillights to match the Scorcher garnish and rear bumper)

Yeah, Hillier conversions did a few 2-door AUs. They did a green one, and a red one. I'm pretty sure they were also responsible for the 300+ concept. Also, one of those original two coupes was turned into the Hillier Autotek Arrow concept

Not quite. Sony Scorcher was a 'one-off' built from an all-good EA GL five-speed 3.9 SP, but there was three sets of glass made. One set went into the Street Machine Magazine original and the other two sets were stored: one went into Scorcher when one glass was damaged while the other set was later supplied to Bennett Supercars (Paul Bennett) in Sydney to build a second 'Scorcher' two-door which - by the looks of the pics in SF - also has a 'Scorcher' body kit as well. The current owner of Scorcher has, I believe, had extra glass made so doing a DIY Scorcher two-door hardtop may still be possible!

yep, inspired by Scorcher and a later AU 'Expression Session' drawing in Street Machine, the Hilliers in Tenterfield NSW built a few two-doors based on AUs. The first was a green six-pot (it was a cop-spec Forte) and one red XR8 (also ex-cop). The green one ended up being supplied to Ford Australia and Millard Design for conversion into the bright red '300+' Ford 4.6-litre V8 show coupe that was seen at the Melbourne Motor Show. The AutoTek coupe was the third, built later from an auction-sourced car, and with a more radical angle in the windowline/profile.
Hope this information helps!

Thanks for clearing that up.

i love this car alot, the way they have painted it is unreal, going in the door jams and everything, the colour scheme of the hole car works really really well, i dont usually like them wheels but they really look great on that car

if i had 16 to spend i probly would say yes and buy it

[efgiar]

did they shorten the body or just make it a coupe?

[NC_GHIA]

I thought they just lenfthened the doors it looks the same length when you see it in person... Heres a photo off my phone...

[-jjM-]

na no chopping the body, just make the doors longer to appear smaller

[ED_Boy]

there were two AU Coupes built, one called the Hillier XR8 which was green and the other was the called the 300+ coupe, which was a ford show car, it had a supercharged 4.6 Quad Cam V8 in it with 310kw nd 575nm of torque
