Can’t wait to pick it up ! Solid bucket list vehicle for me and @Mrs Jeturbo as XY GT’s have always been that one bad ass bus. I mean the engine sticks through the bonnet and that’s cool as sheet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it's a replica, a Barra would go great guns in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty excited 😍 dayum. Both my parents had XYs at one point or another when I was growing up. Not GTs though. Just regular Falcons & Fairmonts, worth pennies at the time. I've always wanted one but prices are just getting beyond me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything old that’s had some kind of restoration or kept in good shape is just fetching silly money these day’s and unfortunately the covid bubble doesn’t really apply to these so much as they’re always just going upwards. That said I can’t wait to take that iconic picture that the XY GT was famous for, mind you I won’t be doing that speed haha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a car to keep forever ❤️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it's safe is another matter altogether... Still, whatever engine is in it, it would be fun to try that sort of thing out on the non-speed-limit roads.
