From the car's perspective, it would be kind of like being raped. You know what's going on, and it's horrifying but there isn't a lot you can do about it.

Ladies and Gentlemen.......

It still exists. The wheels and boot spoiler are Sprintex additions but the owner has managed to track down the original wheels that were on the vehicle when it was at the Motor Show. They are in shocking condition apparently and are in need of restoration - they have spent the last eight years on a parts ute.

They also have the prototype headlights but they don't actually function so the AU standard lights are fitted for roadworthiness.

I figured I'd be forgiven for massive picture size :

Enjoy

Awesome work on the pic zetec! I never knew the lights were only prototypes and not actually functional. Any pics of it front on or from the back?
Who does it reside with now?

No more pics yet but can work on some more. it lives as a previous poster stated with a ForD Dealer collector in WA. Sounds like it is in very good hands.

Anyone want to take a guess at what its worth? It was $135k for the coupe but wouldn't imagine it could fetch that now.

On a second thought does anyone know what happened to the black one?

The red coupe at Lane Ford is apparently this one.

Sprintex Ford 300+ coupe


I was in their getting some parts and got talking to the parts manager about it and he said that they gave it a respray in Venom.

From the colour description he gave me, it is the one on the sprintex web site. (plum, purpley, maroon colour his description)

He must have bought both the coupe and the four door as he has both!
Lucky bugger.

It was at Collie today in the show and shine at the Ford vs Holden event, looking nice (except that front bumper.... it's just too edgy for me, but I love the bodyshell!)

With the t3 spoiler on the AU300+ does anybody know what the extra addon is on top? Is it custom or part of a spoiler from another vehicle?
