Now this is different! Tagged 'PSYCHO' for very good reason. This 1986 XF Falcon features a substantial roof chop, a suicide 2-door conversion, steel moulded bumpers and light surrounds, some interesting front seats, plus its completely computer managed! This blew us away when we saw it unveil at Meguiar’s MotorEx this year. An exceptional build and something truly unique!

That is a truly awesome (and very expensive!) ride.
Hats off to the builder for something different and packing a huge WOW factor. Would hate to think just how much time x dollars went into Australia's toughest XF, but the results do speak for themselves. I just couldnt see myself cruisin up to the local shops to grab a pizza in it though....... Cheers Colin

Amazing looking car! Ive always had a soft spot for these shapes. I cant say Im big on the interior particularly the cluster. But regardless of my opinion, there clearly has been alot of effort and great workmanship put into this car as a whole!
Well done!

That's possibly the coolest example of old school retro and new school high tech coming together I've ever seen.....the back end seems a bit ugly though.

Don't think there would be much genuine XF left.
It actually looks more like an 80's yank car than an XF, especially in the roof profile. |

I love XD-Fs and this one is borerline for me.
I can appreciate the huge amount of work, but the back end is a bit, ergh. Looks like an impressive ride, I do like the interior though. |

The article says Shane and Leisa wanted 'an elite show car with wow factor'.
By my reckoning they successed pretty well on both counts. Awesome car. |

Love the roof line, it reminds me of a Buick Riviera a mate used to own.
All round thumbs up from me, love to see it in the flesh.

Great effort on this one, I actually love the fact that someone used an XF, instead of another XY or XB.
