On my way into work this morning on the freeway I spotted a red over black ESP. Im having a perve when I pass him, then once I passed him I realised it only had 2 doors!
By the time I realised I was too far ahead to slow down and have another look :( It was an old grey haired guy driving. Other than the 2 doors it looked standard but with high suspension. Does anyone know anything about it?

Some mates and I put some big VT brakes on it on saturday and changed the front stud pattern to accept commodore wheels.
Time to start collecting turbo parts and begin with the bodywork.

I used to always pass a two door red over black ESP that was parked outside of a house on Plymouth rd. in Croydon. I remember it was for sale a while back.

Dan ya should've done a search. I know this has been discussed a couple of times.
I believe Vawdrey truck bodies in Braeside built a couple back in the 80's.

I saw one a few weeks ago, however it wasn't genuine. How do I know? Easy it was a ute ESP mock-up, very nicely done too (grey over charcoal). Saw it at the bottom of Thompson Rd about to cross or get onto the Eastern Freeway

It seems to be very common to convert the late X-series Falcons to a two door or limo, maybe it's an easy body shape to work with?
