Oh also wasnt there some Phase 7 and 8 E-series Falcons? (built by the same guy who did the AMHO)

Dezza · 01-11-2005, 12:54 AM

I think there was an EL AJR as well. Unlike the EF which was GLi/Futura based, the EL version was based on the Fairmont

And get rid of those LTDs, and I certainly wouldn't call those XRs special edition (unless we're talking about the Sprint, wagon etc.)

thats news to me...afiak it went to phase 5, XD.

mcflux · 01-11-2005, 03:05 AM

There was a "Phase 6" XE maybe? I remember seeing one in the trading post done up like the Greens-Tuf XE (but with a bigger front bar). Maybe the seller was full of it, or it was a coincidental name of the bodykit.

I shall relinquish #29 to you Sir :P

(Tis a good thread, really!)

**Polyal** · 01-11-2005, 03:40 AM

Ah damn it we are even..thats not good enough.

The only phase 5 (or maybe 6) i remember seeing was a white XD with a freak of a body kit.

The ones you might be thinking of are XE Dick Johnson Grand Prix Turbos, pretty rare and have a supercar style kit. Ive only ever seen one and that was in QLD.

+1

: :P

ok its too late for this silly business..lol..im done for today

Clarke AV · 01-11-2005, 09:30 AM

In the wagons released they brought out V8 models. Don't see many of them around. I know of EB and ED Fairmonts - some came out with 8's. As far as I'm aware, there was never an XR8 wagon. And also, how about we start adding to the list the numbers built and see how we go?

got n e pic's of the DA brock??

Clarke AV · 01-11-2005, 08:11 PM

I agree these aren't in any order. But I've gotten quite keen on this thread now. We need to prune off some of the rubbish and keep the upper models and lower build numbers.

**Polyal** · 01-11-2005, 08:12 PM

ok wayne..wtf is a DA?

NB fairlane?...thats just a NA2

this thread could be good reference for those that want to know build numbers and stuff like that I guess

:

oneredED · 01-11-2005, 08:28 PM

As i said above, is the XR8 sequential exclusive enough for the list?

"Built back in 1997 to take some of the attention from GM's just released VT Commodore and to inspire a new generation of enthusiasts, the Sequential XR8 will not be new to most of you - but forms an important part of EL history as only one of very few prototypes to ever make it out of the factory."

Well, is it limited enough?

"While mild by today's standards, Sequential’s prototype 5-litre pushrod V8 was coaxed into developing a more respectable 215 kW (remember the XR8 on which it was based only made 185kW) thanks to locally worked SVO aluminium heads, a EL GT inlet manifold, more aggressive camshaft, cold air intake with functional bonnet scoop, more aggressive camshaft, low resistance K& N air filter and a pair of big bore 4-into-1 HM exhaust headers, with the biggest difference coming from a pair of fat chrome tailpipes... All in all, seems a bit of overkill just to gain 215kW... "

"Which brings us to that name - having more to do with the gearbox than anything else - obviously! Believe it or not, this car and it's gearbox were once prototypes for the AU series 1 T-series, giving it a very special place in history... That was until the bean counters caught up with things, decreeing the sequential manual gearbox a no-goer due to one seriously blown budget - leaving the auto the sole recipient of Tickford's wheel mounted gear selection technology."

^^^ Has heritage apparently...

TURBO_GHIA · 01-11-2005, 08:28 PM

wasnt the EB SS an xr8 xr6?

-jjM- · 01-11-2005, 08:29 PM

However it was sold to the public as opposed to the EA351 which didn't make the list for that reason...

Hmm Im 99% sure the XR8 sequential was never available, the parts yes but not the whole car.

happy to be proven wrong though!

Very rarely do any of Ford's show cars ever get sold - usually built from high mileage prototypes they are deamed too far past their used by date for Ford to be confident of their performance in public. - Indeed compare the fortunes of the EA GT, Sandfire Ute, Predator, Venom and GTU - all of which now safely reside inside of Ford's Geelong based Discovery Center. Making this particular show car all the more special is that this one escaped the fold and was sold minus the gearbox to Paul Roman of Roman Autotek who helped build it in the first place!!! Still forming part of Paul's ever increasing collection, you can be sure this is one Proto that ain't gunna be taking that one-way trip any time soon...

Well, i still don't know if it's "right" for our list LOL.

nah not right for the list, but like that info siad it was sold minus the gearbox, that was the most important bit...lol..other than that it was a normal XR8 with some flashy wheels, paint and interior.

Flashy paint and rims? "...a GT carbon fibre wrapped aluminium tail shaft joined to a Detroit Locker diff with a low 3.73:1 ratio..." "...with 'Ultimate Suspension' supplied coil springs matched same brand large diameter Australian made gas over oil dampers (also un-named) with adjustable ride height collars for the concentric springs..." "..GT spec ‘Tickford’ 4-spot calipers clamping 330mm grooved & ventilated front rotors..."

And a splash with graphics and possibly other options is "special"? Haha, I know when I'm beat, I'll shutup sorry :P
