What's even worse is that gawd-awful rear spoiler they put on it. Way to wreck what was once a nice car

oh my god. that looks really bad. im honestly shocked. that could have been a really nice coupe and then that has gone and happened. well done for being unique but do it on another car. leave the coupes to enthusisits and people who are going to keep them to there original glory.

Well what can I say, it's unique! I wish him good luck with the sale. (Somehow I think he'll need it.)

Wonder what engine it has got, because it's says it's got a 5.4l. Looks ok but there are a thing on it that make it look cheap.

Lose the wing the wheels and the towbar, equals great promotional car, or be different to the sheep and have something that attracts attention at car shows. I see potential?????

For 60 grand you would of at least expected a set of nice rims.
How would it pass the engineers report with the seat belt mounting points being so low? The spoiler, red plastic strip, fuel filler and tow plug are beyond comprehension. Then there's the "Stock standard XB Coupes are now fetching prices of up to $200,000." |

Stock standard XB Coupes are now fetching prices of up to $200,000. At $60,000 this convertible is a super-rare investment.
But look its a great in vestment your saving 140k on a stock standard one

 : People that think about doing this to a coupe should go and get a mustang convertable. They dont call coupes hard tops for nothing you know. And please $60,000 for that with all those cheap crappy bits on it lol. Mine would be worth every bit of $200,000 :togo: if he gets 60 for that pile of super cheap auto bits.

Next time someone tells you that you can never have enough tools, there is always this guy! One TOOL that you don't want...
Desecration at it's absolute worst. But then again a standard one is worth 200k after all, this one is a bargain : Everyone say it with me - "My Falcon Coupe Looks Fully with Supercheap hubcaps, titanic towbar and da spoiler from my mates Hi-Undies Excel" Knob jockey |
