I love it, would have been awesome to see it go into production.

I believe there is somewhere that will convert your AU to a coupe if you got the $$$ to go along with it, but its not the same as having one from Factory. That red one at the Motor show is just beautiful.

Pretty sure they are in WA & QLD. They made 3 coupes, and 1 Sedan IIRC. Great cars, too bad they never really took off!

It was done by the Hillier Brothers IIRC, they've done a fair few concepts and stuff. They do stretching mainly but also advertise chopping.

Yeah I remember a red coupe with a xr front for sale a few years back. None of them looked as good as the 300+. It had the 4.6L mustang engine I think, wonder if things would have been different if they went with that motor.

I seen the red 300+ coupe at a ford show/display that Lane Ford in Mandurah W.A had earlier this year.

Wish they put them into production, damm sexy car imo.
Had just over 5000k's on it if i remember rightly.

I was told that it's owned by the owner of Lane Ford, which wouldn't surprise me.
He's got a nice collection of unique/rare cars.
