the sony scorcher two door falcon was getting around the penrith/windsor area a month or two back. I saw it on a thursday night at Krispynats in penrith, then on the sunday it pulled up on the main drag in windsor out the front of the pub. When I saw it I couldn't quite work out why it looked different, or how someone could make an EA sound like that, but when it drove by and I saw it had two doors I figured it was the Sony Scorcher car. it sounds so mean, with a very lumpy idle.

That EB Ute is genius. Another what-ford-shouldve-done. Instead of the XG.

not sure why you'd chop up an AU FORTE (judging on rear, wheels, front)...
Strange...
but someone spent the time and money on it...

They made them with the 250 I6 but never in a GS/GT guise. There are still a few getting around and you see them pop up for sale every now and then and not for stupid money considering the relative rarity. The last one I saw for sale on ebay was at around the 12-15K mark.

I would ride in these, not bad lookers, but my pick is the ute, that looks awesome, looks like it was the base for the BA ute.

If you look at the tray top you can see that its from the x series ute and probably a wagon (longer than the sedan) but looks orsm and i would buy it.

To me it looks like a chopped eb wagon with chopped tailgate to boot as all lights are wagon lights.

This was an XB coupe.

IIRC the GT Ute is a Hillier Bros job. Was in SM a few years back. Remember reading that the back window is actually off a Commodore ute.

Another one can be found

HERE

Funny that the red one in the link is said to have a std XD - XH tailgate whereas the GT ute above looks to have a custom fabricated one.
