There was an acid rush one around a few years back, also a black one which was an XR8. I reckon they look great.

I think Ford should make these in the new range of utes as i see a lot the crewmans around and Ford has good sales in utes at the moment. It would be a wise move from Ford.

Yeah I was just about to say that it's 'just' a chopped wagon.

There's a black one (XR spec) that I see around locally all the time. Looks ok, but they do look very awkward at the rear IMO.

Converted wagons just never look quite right. The wheelbase needs to be longer and the tray higher.
Here's what a crew cab AU should look like, the R5 concept; http://autoweb.drive.com.au/cms/A_53...wsarticle.html Though according to some people that ought to know it's true purpose was to showcase some of the styling elements of the upcoming BA Falcon range and gather feedback on the interior colour palate, ride height and lifestyle elements of the still 4 years away Territory ;)

I like the acid rush one because it has a proper tub for the back. Would be a right bugger of a thing to park though!
