Yeah I see it around a fair bit too... the stripes are overkill on it. The concept is nice though.

Certainly looks that way. The stripes are almost the same, and I remember the Ford Dealer saying it came from Victoria.

Could they actually be the same car? They both have an identical stripe package, even the little zig-zag on the front guard with the FPV sticker incorporated, and the mirrors are chromed on both......

The stripe coming off the lights has a Ford Logo in the one I posted.
The one on Ebay has a FPV logo instead. Am fairly sure the mirrors are just chrome skins. Easily changed. Cheers

i though the force 8 was boring till i saw that... Now the force 8 looks classy.
loose the stripes, loose the industrial-air-conditioner-fanblade wheels, loose the bright silver mouth surround and then we'll talk.

Personally I think it is disgusting.
 I do like the quad tips (though they do seem to point upward a little) and rear view though... for a Fairlane anyways.  If he ditched the stripes, whacked on GT-P wheels and dumped it I think it would look dramatically better. |

XR front's don't go on LWB.
My question is why? Has it had a hard hit in the front?

Definately no hit, like MADNC8 and other geelong people said, he owned that blue one aswell.
He must work for Ford or have some friends to be bothered going to that effort. Say what you like, but it turns heads. Ok the stripes are not great, but as a whole its awesome. If FPV want to slap up another special, thats what it should be, not another bloody SWB.
