Will the XY ever lose it's appeal? Not as
long as classic builds like this exist... Question - if they built a
four-door notch back Mustang, would it have looked as good as this?
If you think this is a little low for a
Territory...wait 'till you see what is under the bonnet!
Yep...a fully blown XR8 BOSS mill. Not as easy as it sounds, this little
install involved changing the front suspension AND steering resulting in a
vastly different wheel offset, only rectified with the opportunity to update
from the (fitted to get it onto the road) Mk1 XR8 17's. Below:
looking sweet-as sitting like FPV built it, the only thing wrong was the thing
still weighs in at over two tonnes!!! And just in case you're wondering -
yep - she's rear wheel drive....
Now here's an XY with a difference. Nice to
see a different tact taken with the evergreen Ford - with no GT bits
what-so-ever!
As you can see, nothing's sacred at Summernats! Pumping enough bass from
it's four coffin mounted subs to wake the dead, this gorgeous early LTD based
hearse hardly stopped all week end, giving the air bagged suspension a great
work out at all sorts of crazy angles. As usual, 'damned low' always works
best for the visuals...
Proving once again, anything's possible with
Ford's sensationally shaped 70's models - this one actually a late 60's XW (yes
- despite the XY tail lights!)
Just in case you missed it the first time!
Blue contrasts sensationally against all that orange... Below:
Showing the four cylinder crowd how it's done. Blue theme extends to the
under bonnet areas and interior - unique and very tasteful.
