Question EA Falcon 3.2

Does anybody have, or know somebody who owns a running EA Falcon GL 3.2 TBI?

I know I'm pushing the proverbial up hill here, as they are rarer than hen's teeth but one came up for sale recently and I'm kicking myself I didn't buy it. I want to feature it in a small youtube film for a motoring website. TIA.

They only made 800, which makes them rarer than an XR8 Sprint...

I read 133 (I think) were made with the 3.2 , later dropped for being to gutless and thirsty compared to the 3.9

I can confirm this as I built them all and logged every build.

Gee - I really should know these numbers - been a long time.

From my now fading memory - i think for AU we set the FGX numbers at ~600 (about 250 manual the rest auto) XR8 and ~750 XR6 (+ ~200 XR8 for NZ)

It may have varied by a few at time of production for various reasons - I left before they were all made.

Maybe someone with access to a good database or Vfacts can confirm.
