Default Ed Xr6 Ho

Hey,

I was just browsing carpoint, and I came across this "ED XR6 HO".

http://www.carpoint.com.au/used-car/...d/2110469.aspx

I was wondering if there were any legitimate ED HO's. If so, Does anyone have any info on them?

Cheers boys.

I don't know if it is a genuine HO or not, but it is ugly.

A company called Homologated Options created these cars, hence the name HO. Allan Moffat also had a role in it. A number of them were also supercharged. I've got a magazine with an article on an ED Allan Moffat signature supercharged HO. They usually look pretty good (although the rear wing may be a bit much). That example on the other hand is hideous. The light blue is just awful

Without the light blue bits it would actually look pretty decent... I think :S

hey now that I think of it, there was an exact same car in Bendigo, except it was a really dark navy blue in one colour! Same body tho with the lip spoiler and the HO spoiler. This one looked really nice, custom interior too.

All the parts (visual) are there its got Genuine AMHO wheels and body kit, but does it have the blower?
It hasnt got the Ho steering wheel, but thats just a small thing.
Indy pace car?
I thought that was in the discovery center?
Anyway the indy pace car had a different rear wing.

By the way anyone want an AMHO rear wing and boot?

Love the kit.
Looks tuff, but the colour scheme is ****.
It also hant got the proper badges.

One of the guys up here has a V8 one of those - Ford (or a ford dealer) must have done a run of them or something... his has big light blue decals on the side and no gold pinstripe.

It looks ok, but I think i would look better all colour coded.

I've got a couple of pics of what the HO should look like, but I'm not on my computer at Oakleigh at the moment. I'm hoping to be back there by Tuesday or Wednesday, so I'll post it up when I get back
