EB GT P07 (Pearl Black)

colgood · 01-03-2018, 11:40 PM

I bought Pearl Black EB GT P07 last year. The previous owner misplaced all books, records & even the owners details prior to him. I'm wondering if anyone has any knowledge of this car? Any information for my records would be appreciated & privacy respected. Col 0407138405 Thanks in advance

Your best bet is to call the Ford Customer Relations Centre Col.

Thanks very much for that but I don't think they are allowed to give out names due to privacy laws. Just hoping someone sees this post & knows something or someone. Cheers mate

Hi Col,

Surely there is a Tickford or GT club that would know the history?

Cheers,
Wayne

Previous owner misplaced the books...... I'd be doing a rego check to see if she's the real deal.

I don’t think there’d be too many re bodied EB GT’s getting passed off as originals somehow and if there was I don’t really think a rego check will unravel too much.

Good luck with your search Col, sounds like a good car to own, being a pre production version of the 1st of the return of the modern GT’s.

P07 (I think) was on display at Kolsters in Newcastle for a couple of years? It was the dealer principles car.. Remember Im only assuming it was that one..

If you pass on the VIN I can try and see if I can find the selling dealer was, from there you could contact them and see what information they can give you.

I can remember that blue XR8 on display at Klosters, a mates girlfriend at the time nearly bought it for her first car. Her father was a wealthy businessman in Newcastle and she ended up buying a black VR or VS SS instead. Can you post any pictures of it now?

colgood · 05-03-2018, 10:41 PM

Yeah I have pics.....but have to work out how to attach!!!!!

I never saw that car. I think your confusing it with 007 a blue manual gt. That car was on display at kloster ford for about 2-3 months. My brother worked at Klosters and everytime a special falcon came in he would tell me and get me in the workshop to look at it. 007 was definitely blue manual.

Thanks BOSS351290

I concur that 007 definitely was a blue manual GT built on the 19/11/1992 whereabouts are unknown.
Originally ordered by PPT Investments, did not know it ended up at Kloster Ford

Gday mate & thanks. But I'm a member of TicKford GT owners group as well as ED XR8 & Tickford. Have put up for info, but no one seems tm know. It spent many years in WA & even blokes I know from over there don't know about the car! Cheers

**Rallye Sport** · 05-03-2018, 07:18 PM

You maybe able to fill in its WA history by applying for a report under the guise of a pre-purchase check with the DOT.
Haven't done one for a while myself but the premium one used to tell you previous owners, insurance claims, odometer readings at transfers and previous plates. Worth a check if they still do them.
Good luck with it, sounds like an interesting car.

I am sure you already have a verification letter from Ford, but it has build dates, order specs & the state/dealership for delivery.

Jsampson72 · 06-03-2018, 06:36 AM

What has led you to believe that this vehicle is EB GT prototype #07? What are the engine and trans codes? Build Date? Having driven many miles (too many) in an EBGT P0 durability car at the You Yangs proving ground back in 91/92 (This particular p0 car later being scrapped) I am interested to know if your car is the real deal. Can you post build date, engine and trans codes?

My car is DEFINATELY P07 It is NOT A PROTOTYPE. It is a "P" as in PRE PRODUCTION. There were 10 "P" EB GT's The prototypes were tested (at the You Yangs) & yes as you righty said...were scrapped. Different to "P" cars that were used for promotional & press duties.

Col's car is NOT A PROTOTYPE. The 10 P cars built after the prototype were called PILOT or PRE-PRODUCTION cars.
He does own P07.

FYI... most of the 10 EBGT and 11 ELGT "P" cars are known to exist.
If you don't believe there any P cars left, I can suggest you contact the Bowdens about their 2 "P" cars or David Frake about his old "P" car

Cheers J
