mmmmm....
This was my dream car... I saw it at the 2001 (i think) Auto Show (perth) and that was the last I heard of it. Pity.... I mean what more could you ask for? Supercharged V8 2 door Falcon. |

Great concept. I'd buy a Ford coupe in a second if a decent looking one was released. The above two are pig ugly. Reality is if the next toy is to be a coupe it will be a second hand Monaro or new Porsche.

It's just an AU with the rear doors missing.
Doesn't compare with the XA-XC coupes, which were actually different! |

Ok let set this story straight. I'm sure this is an old post. Here the Fact.
The Purple 300+ coupe was originaly 150k when released to the public in 2001/2002. But i can't understand how it made an extra 100k. Anyway the Black 300+ 4 door was 110k and now own by Lane Ford Mandurah (Perth). They both powered by a Sprintex supercharged 4.6L Cobra/Boss Engine. Now the 300+ coupe was the hillers Brother XR6 coupe prototype but sold to perth Sprintex company. The Purple 300+ and the red coupe are not the same car. Far as i know Hillers Bro still own the Arrow coupe. Correct me if i'm wrong about this. :
