I think the price was about $17,000 you can take any EA-BF Falcon/Fairlane donor car to a coachbuilder in Geelong (I think) that make them into coupes. I suppose any coachbuilder could do it; looks wild, and not that dear really!
If someone knows what they're talking about feel free to correct the place and price of the coachbuilders who do plenty of work for Ford (though not actually affiliated). I must say, whilst it would predominantly blend into the traffic, once noticed it certainly is a very nice looking machine!

Hillier charge $34,000 for the conversion - this was directly quoted as I was comparing a XB coupe full restoro and buying a AUII XR8 and converting it. brought the XB instead due to cost. Probably better off waiting for someone to have one for sale thats already been done.
