Default Falcon TX7...What The...?!
Hey,
I was driving today home and got lost trying to take a 'short cut' (lol) and had to stop and look at the melways. I ended up parking right next to this E Series Falcon which had a 'Falcon TX7' Badge on the rear. I was instantly intrigued and wanted to know more about it. The thing was, that I didn't notice anything to special about it. Has anyone heard of them? How many were made? What special mods has it got that a stock GLi wouldn't have?
Any information would be awesome!
Here's a pic...(from the phone sorry guys)

I thought I was pretty much clued up with the various "versions" of E series Falcons - SVOs, Brock, DJR, Phase Autos etc etc but I must say I have never heard of a TX7.

There was a Telstar TX5 but where the 7 came from - Who knows!

If you've ever heard of the Moffat HO model - Phase Autos did that too. they went on to become Homologated Options (HO) and is still possibly around the corner from FPV - I haven't been there for a few years.

Isn't that the place that now calls themselves Fibretech?

Hey guys,
Just to let all you people know what it was all about...I kind of owe you an explanation!
Falcon TX7 never made it into production. There was talk of it (only inside Ford HQ) and that's why there were badges made up. The badge that I have is totally legit and is real. The car in the photo is mine just with a bit of photoshop! Lol!
Catchya's...
