There is a Green 2door here in town .. 6cyl auto .. but it is not a hard top like that one is , the green one here in town has a black soft roof and it has press studs at the back where the bottom of the rear window is.

Out of all the 2 door XE Falcon's and Fairlane's that I've have seen getting around, that is hands down the best looking one of the lot.

Spanmore Engineering?

Commissioned by Ford? I'd be checking with the Adrian Ryan (Ford historian, can be contacted via head office - Wednesday are the day to catch him otherwise you can leave messages.)

could be the same length if they stretched the doors a lot. you would have to hate XEs to think it looks hideous though.

Plenty of other american cars from the 80s were 2 door and square like this so its not really a freak.

i'm not bagging cops, and never do, but its always good to joke around, so i hope this doesn't get taken as offensive, this cop just got suspended from doing doughnuts on a dirt paddock(field)? i reckon he should of got away with it even if it is government car, everyone is human.

footage was taken over 12 months ago.

Yeah, great video.

Nothing wrong with this in deserted industrial areas either. It's just that we have double standards. They should have covered the ID and rego though as everything these days ends up on YT.

You're an @r$eh0le for putting that link up. I'd never heard of 2 girls 1 cup, but after watching that I had to find it on the net. Sickest crap I have ever seen. I still feel like I'm about to puke
