Default Special Au Falcons [eg. Falcon 300+]

I was just wondering if there where any special Au Falcon models Ford planned and canned or if there where any prototypes built are these cars in museums or what? I remember reading about a coupe 300+ kw etc.

Also a few other companies made some powerful prototypes there must be a few guys on here who know what I'm on about.

If you know of any besides Au do tell.

Found this:

There were the Hilliers coupes and a car "the kids built" as well...
I'm sure there's a few threads covering this already..
Have a quick look and search through some older threads in the Aufalcon section, I'm sure you'll find heaps!!
cheers

True but by the same token we then could have got the supercharged mod motors from later in the program too. Swings and roundabouts..

But yeah, atleast the 5.6 is unique world wide in Ford.

That 300+ Coupe is now sporting a 5.0 Windsor! Yep, it was stripped of all running gear, breaks as well as a few other goodies and sold off. Was for sale for a long time with a asking price of 200 G's. Last I saw price dropped to 150 G's and still no bites.

i reckon the hillier xr one is the best looking one, probably because it looks so factory.

be interesting to see someone shop the T3 bodykit and lights onto it.
