I just noticed are the centers of your 12 slotters gold?
A friend of mine had Gold strikers on his yellow XB Coupe back in the 80s it looked Damn Hot.
I havent seen them in years, I think they had trouble with the gold peeling off so they stopped making them.

Yes they are gold- they are actually gold chrome rather than painted- I've owned them for at least 3-4 years and theyve seen plenty of wet weather but no peeling yet...keep fingers crossed!

MeanXB- definately was yours now that I have seen the boot shot- there was a certain individual sitting in it that has "FATASS" as his plates (mounted on the most desirable Ford coupe!!) when I saw it. It truly is a masterpiece- you should be proud of her!
I look forward to seeing her again sometime.

Hi Pat.
We have owned the coupe for 13yrs now but we were based in WA. I have never been to Adelaide but when the car was bought over here, Jack did drive it through it, however unless you were awake at 2am when he went through...

Must have been another coupe Pat.

Petrol only at the moment but nos system is going in proberly before powercruise later this year .
Gas is not a option on this engine as its a weekend car with a desent amount of power so its not about economy at all more about big tank and a deep pocket on the days I do take her out .

Auslandau · 25-03-2008, 11:00 PM

I did see some of the older ones but it jst looks brand new! Especially in the top 2 pics! I have seen the plates though

i love the engine bay - an awesome amount of work has been done very tastefully. especially with the inner guards, it looks like it could have come from the factory that way

It still retains a clevo block, top loader and 9" as God intended!!
Seriously motor and box have been lowered and pushed back in the bay to get the blower under the bonnet (inportant for rego in NSW), using custom x members and mounts, the tailshaft is a 3.5" job with HO uni joints ect. and the diff housing is a custom job too.

That is one awsome coupe there Meanxb and I have noticed the lack of shockie towers and was wondering if you would like to share some info on that as that is eactly what I want to do with my Xb coupe.
Nice colour combo as well

PM me if you wish, but in hind sight its a bugger of a setup to get right. The biggest issue is the body number is removed from the car and needs an RTA number stamped in (they only do this once the car is complete and engineered and passed a stolen ID check, so you can imagine what a RTA guy can do to perfect paint with a stamp set and ball pien hammer

RAREV8 · 31-03-2008, 10:48 PM

Wow! That is fantastic- did you have it at the Sydney Show last year? If not, there appears to be an identical coloured one with the same suspension setup (may have been a sedan in hindsight) getting around...that is a fabulous machine.
Tony XA- my favourite coupe other than the Landau...best colour scheme too...love it!

The calibre of coupes on here is getting very good indeed...keep them coming!

If you mean either Sydney Auto Salon in May or Motorex in August yes, if not it sure is a coincidence!!.
