Ford EB XR6 Cobra

**Sorted** · 31-01-2009, 06:30 PM

Just looking around and found these in my travels

Is this a Genuine Ford Release Vehicle or Just a custom some one has done?

vegabass · 31-01-2009, 06:43 PM

I doubt it, Someone has gone to a huge effort to make it look like the...Eg the FPV seats, all the custom blue trimmings, the GT body kit. I just dont think ford would of realeased a Cobra in an 6cly.

Ditch the old man sun visor and id probably say it looks sweet!

DJL351 · 31-01-2009, 06:53 PM

And the fact FPV were not around when the EB/D series was released.....

Fake - and a horrid one at that.

**Sorted** · 31-01-2009, 07:04 PM

I should of said i realise the interior is custom (& Boot)

Exterior??? Wheels look something of an AU

Om maybe not - here is the Genuine one

Ack!!! Too many stripes haha

Dezza · 31-01-2009, 08:06 PM

The genuine one looks mad. The faker looks terrible

GUTLES · 31-01-2009, 10:52 PM

Don't mind the seats, everything else about it looks aweful!

pffft, i'ld thought an E-series owners club would know this stuff. lol @ thinking itwas gen.

The "genuine" cobra was a one off for Edsel b ford (second), hence the EBF11 plate. Mearly just a center peice for his vist to australia.

The other cars are the EA 351 GT proto, and the EB falcon Indy pace car, A modified XR8. used SVo parts and had about 205kws. Another 2 were used for Auscar/nascar.

the "Xr6 cobra" has been around for sale for ages. Just a GT kit with XrGT bar and cobra paint.

Since when does being a member of a car club mean that you are knowlegable about every single special car built. Thats why we join clubs, to learn.

This post was made by a member not the club and makes it no less relevant than anything else you will see in any of the hundreds of car club forums.

It's on display at the Ford Discovery Centre. On the topic of it being originally red, it still has a red engine bay. On my "history of the Falcon GT" video it shows photos of it when it had been thought to have been destroyed. It looked exactly the same then as it does now. It was later found somewhere around the Ford factory, so was restored.

In the parking lot of cars waiting to be crushed...

i actually like the original EBGT and the blue one with 351-GT down the side of the doors looks horn but that mock up is only overdone by the visors front and rear and the fact its auto, Yuck!

whack a 5 speed and get rid of the visors and it'd look tuff imo

the orig post that looks like hes selling its a Fairmont Ghia by the looks of it.

How much was he asking for it Sorted?

SICAZZ · 02-02-2009, 08:03 AM

This is my first car, I owned this car before SICAZZ, its really an EA series II Faimont.

And on gas aswell.............

TOASTED · 02-02-2009, 01:22 PM

well although it doesnt float every1s boat i think that the vehicle in the original post is very unique and the person who created it should be recognised for their good work. i.e they havent just put altezzas n a scorcher bar (nothing wrong with the scorcher kit) but they have gone to extreme lengths to create an absolute one of a kind and it was done tastefully. i believe they are a true enthuisist

looks sick

You really think so or are you just bumping old threads to get you post count up?

It's incredibly over done on looks and nothing to performance.

Thats a bit harsh, what does it matter what someones post count is?

I'm not keen on the outside but the inside looks ok - unique

Thanks for the useless information

vegabass · 29-06-2011, 08:38 AM

I have nothing to say, I Just want to get my post count up

**Sorted** · 29-06-2011, 08:49 AM

I like it - its outside the box of factory

Slap a Turbo on it and then its "EPIC" or "FTW"

Or if a Friend of the poster owned it then he and all his mates would think its "Mint"

Oh wait i forgot put steelies on it then it would be "Mad as"

EBW-302 · 30-06-2011, 05:51 PM

Definately a bit overdone IMO, but eh, not my car :P

SICAZZ, do you work at an upholsterers? All your cars seem to have custom interiors and dashmats

Zedjay · 03-07-2011, 08:29 PM

take the stripes off the side, the rear sun shade thingy and all the FPV off it and i would own it

InfernoSR · 19-07-2011, 12:10 PM

wow, talk about a bit of work being done...

SSV GTO front and rear bar
SSV EB GT side skirts and flairs
SSV EL GT bonnet vents and rear wing
Dual Fuel I6
AU Tickford 17's
and thats barely just the start... talk about a confused car... is it a Tickford or FPV or XR or GT or just a plain old EB dressed to impress??

Stinger56 · 27-12-2011, 11:22 PM

This car is absolutely awesome and a credit to the owner that has loved it so much. I would buy this car before a FG or anything late model. The Cobra lives. (lucky bastard)

I'm sorry but you have extrememly bad taste, that car is hideous. Interior is crap nothing blends together nicely blue in interior looks tacky. It looks like a ****** p-platers car.

Stinger56 · 27-12-2011, 11:27 PM

I totally agree with Toasted and to hell with the knockers especially the ones that drive around in some of the worse examples of modified fords i have ever seen. And the wierd thing is they think there cars are cool !! go figure. I,de buy this Cobra the first chance I had.
