Given the welcome he got, not surprised by the low number of posts :togo:

I suggest you reread the thread again

What you quoted was post no 28 and the only really negative post he had received

Up until then, there were nothing but accolades for that car and people bending over backwards posting up scans of old articles..........

How does that detract from my post?

on the topic of black coupes has anybody got pictures of the black xa called "launch" or that lad with the perspex bonnet and the 400mm rear tyers. alot of tuff xc's and xb"s had there compliance plates swapped for xa ones for emissions compliance

[sparkles2774]

apologise gentleman..... found the forum last year thought i'd see if dad's car was remembered myself and Dad were thrilled that it was. I really appreciate the memories and scans.. and i'm afraid i forgot that i'd posted the thread.... just checked back in the other day when i got an email.... thanks heaps again...

[sparkles2774]

oops.. meant apologies...

[mrbaxr6t]

sparkles that wouldn't be the car in question in your avatar would it? by any chance?

that is a fantastic looking example of that car! reinforces my standpoint that you cant have anything overly nice cause soon as you do some jealous <insert swear> will take it or scratch it or whatever. Society sux.

[sparkles2774]

it is indeed the car in question... i've been trying to post more pics but the forums telling me theres a two a day minimum...

from memory wasn't it going to be a cobra replicar and once they saw it in the black guide/undercoat they thought it had to be black. i know it is slightly late information but a few years after it was stolen there was a black coupe for sale in western australia they recon it was a unused body shell from ford but i imideately thought of your coupe. it was in unique cars so they weren't being to stealthy. :

[sparkles2774]

there were many many people who thought they'd seen it or heard something about it.... we all just gave up on it eventually.. Lots of great memories though

Good old Lower Mountain Smash Repairs.
I knew a bloke who worked there at the time the coupe was built.
Also bought many a part fromthe guy the body come from in the first place.
Nice car damn shame to see how it ended up.

[sparkles2774]

Oath! It's a small world lol....

Sparkles, thanks for posting those pics - I was a bit young when the XCoupes came out, just starting to pay attention to those shiny things running about on the roads outside, which admittedly, is a bit peculiar for a girl (Dad loved it though), but as I got older, I followed them in the magazines, and I remember this gorgeous car. That's keeping the memories alive, again, thanks for posting the 'private' pics of your dad's wonderful hardtop.

Oops, forgot to say, AWESOME!

I'm in the same boat as you... was very young when it was pinched, but i still remember sunday drives in it and have wanted my own ever since...

If you happen to remember the Maniac that used to get around Blaxland in the mid to late 90's in the true blue XY ute , well that was me.....................

[Kingsley]

What a beautiful looking coupe. What a shame it's gone....

Agreed, brings back good memories.

I was ****ed when my generic unmodified car was stolen, I can only imagine how your old man felt when a car built with that sort of passion was half inched.

Beautiful car and I hope karma is real.
