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 Kris

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. |
