There is no way someone would be silly enough to "trade" an EB GT.
Put up some pics.

Check the numbers with ford on the build plate.
You must have traded a damn fine car for it, or the person you traded it with had no idea what it was. Or, more likely, its just a mockup

You are a ******** for a start. Why would you do that? Trade a car and recieve anohter where you don't know what you've got.
I bet your mate is laughing at you as we speak.

I think EB GT has a build number badge in the interior, not 100% sure, been awhile since ive looked at one.
What car did he get? Last edited by BZINGA; 26-02-2007 at 05:46 PM. |

If it's one of those duck egg blue or white rip-offs I've seen, it's an ex cab !! No seriously get some details off the compliance plate (If I remember correctly it was an optioned up Ghia) and some info about the badging and interior and get in contact with your local GT Falcon club. There'll be a few experts there. |

There are brochures in the Gallery section of the forums, you should be able to get a good idea of what a GT should look like from there, also have a look in the Technical Resources for model & engine codes

Reminds me of my Indian neighbour who thought his JG 34 was an XB GT. "I got it really cheap, only $2300!!" This was when they were worth about $1500 mind you.

This is so funny!
One guy says "This dude is an idiot - he bought a shitbox Toyota that's rooted" Same guy says "Is this shitty taxi with a wing and an XR8 badge a genuine 1-of-200 GT?" lmfao
