YKE 20T Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 that makes me laugh. i hate xy gt's. i'm sick off going to car shows and seeing thousands of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzo Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Are you serious? They're awesome cars, Australias icon car, back when cars were built good (minus brakes lol), and actually sounded like a V8 should. My dad has a replica with around 450hp, I love cruisin with him in that car, the number of looks, thumbs ups, salutes are amazing, once even from a dude in a Ferrari. That one looks great, I doubt it would be a genuine though, with an undercarriage like that and white interior. Shame to see that happen to it especially since it looks like it was a wedding car too.

7shades Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 No biggie... he's got a spare shell in the shed. Check the first pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teza40 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Man thats a shame, not that I'm into fords but these old cars a re slowly getting less and less.Looked to be a real neat resto job even if not original GT.so many clones around now its to the point it don't matter. Like 7 shades said..no biggie he has another shell,just rebuild. The parts are available ( more after market stuff for them now than there was original parts back when new,lol ) yes i hope all were ok on some ones special day,what a pisser.

curly Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 that makes me laugh. i hate xy gt's. i'm sick off going to car shows and seeing thousands of them. so you,d rather drive your corolla than an xy gt. when you say your sick you really are sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiro Protagonist Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 First thing I thought was that he was transporting it and it had rolled off the back of the truck into the car....that would have been ironic, and humiliating too.

YKE 20T Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) to be honest i would prefer to drive my corolla than an xy gt. at least it turns and brakes. whilst i acknowledge their part in the history of motor sport in Australia they just don't do it for me. also I'm sick of seeing thousands of originals and replicas at every car show bar auto salon. my favorite car from summernats wasn't any of the 100 falcons on display but an immaculate silver mistubishi sigma with a stupidly large garret turbo and fr17s. the xy has been over done as far as i'm concerned but thats just my opinion on the subject and seeing as we live in a democracy every one else is entitled to one as well.

Rolla__Boy Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 The car is a genuine GT and had just undergone a 95K rebuild....It doesn't matter if he has 500 spare shells in the shed, it's still heartbreaking...and hardly what I'd call "no biggie" And sorry but if you cannot appreciate the XY GT then you have zero taste in cars...

7shades Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Heartbreaking, for sure. I can appreciate time, effort and detail... and as an investment, they have a guaranteed return. But at the end of the day, thats the only appeal these would hold for me. A conservatively styled family sedan with a big engine in it... that someone is happy to pay half a million dollars to own. I view the '57 Chev in a very similar light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
