A few years ago I received an email from a friend about a XW? XY? GT or Hoey just picked up from receiving a full restoration. (100k +) It was practically written off on the way home. Wasn't it a purply colour?
Was this real? Does anyone know of this one other than I know a mate who knows... Wonder if it was insured...

There were a few differences in details, and could not have been the same car. One was the tyres IIRC.
This was one of the re-posts. http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11209889 Last edited by Silver Ghia; 13-05-2010 at 09:05 PM. |

Yes, it was a fake.
I think i was the one that pointed out the main differences too. Pictures DO tell a thousand words. |

So basically, some clown mashed together different photo's of similar looking cars, made a story and circulated it like a hoax. And most of us went OMFG WTF! and went for the tissues...!
