The price of Coupes just went up a little again.
Click on the side-view picture one scroll down. I don't know if there is something wrong with the audio, but if Satan ever owned a car, this is what I'd imagine it would sound like. |

I'm pretty sure the beast has been back since 2012? I know that there were pictures of it almost finished in 2010-11.

Aussie boy makes good!
Last I heard it sat in a garage for a couple of years after the Targa incident, he couldn't bare to look at it or just didn't have the time. I knew he would resurrect it eventually. |

I'm not 100% sure, but I think those pics of the hardtop at a car show are a different car.
Pretty sure that's the same show I went to, and when I posted my pics someone pointed out the qld rego, amongst other tiny differences. Could be wrong too

The mini lites were also used on the XY Super falcon, and are one of my favourite rims....

I stand corrected gentlemen. Obviously a tribute car then.

I like the rims. They have 'sports road wheels' DNA in them. I think in this case they don't suit the colour. Someone on here had them on a white XC Coupe that had some minor but graceful cosmetic mods, blended in perfectly. You need to be careful of rim choices for Coupes. If it's the wheels that are noticed first and not its beautiful lines, then you're doing it wrong. But that's my opinion. Anyway, if in doubt just chuck some convo's or simmons on. They suit just about any car from any period.

Great to see 'The Beast' back on the road again.
We went and watched the doco at the movies about 4 years ago and after that crash in tassie I thought he would never fix the damage again. Go Eric!!!!!!!!! |

 OK, so you have an opinion on the wheels. Great, keep it to yourself. Please stop posting dribble in this thread.

Definitely a tribute car, the real XBRACR has silver bonnet/grille accents and a red roll cage. The above car does not. But still looks great nonetheless, I hate how it can be mistaken for the real one!
