Default remember that email going around?

A few years ago I received an email from a friend about a XW? XY? GT or Hoey just picked up from receiving a full restoration. (100k +) It was practically written off on the way home. Wasn't it a purply colour?

Was this real? Does anyone know of this one other than I know a mate who knows...

Wonder if it was insured...

There were a few differences in details, and could not have been the same car. One was the tyres IIRC.

This was one of the re-posts. http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11209889

Yes, it was a fake.

Pictures DO tell a thousand words.

So basically, some clown mashed together different photo's of similar looking cars, made a story and circulated it like a hoax.

And most of us went OMFG WTF! and went for the tissues...!
