This may have been the one posted on here before but here's some new photos.
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Ford-Fairlane...QQcmdZViewItem $30,000 asking price. Quote: You'll never see one like it ! ! ! Only one of it's kind. This Ford Fairlane Ghia has had the works done to it, From FULL GT-P interior to BF GT-P Bumper Bar to 20'' 5 spoke rims, 2'' exhuast system comming out to twin 3'' chrome tips, it has a GT bonnet FPV badging and the best part of this car is the stripes, they are one of a kind and look spectacular. Super dark tinted windows set this car off it is truley amazing. It also has been lowerd 2'' at the back with king springs, All in all there has been atleast over $10,000 spent on this car Chance of a life time.       Lovely, but I don't like the stripes.

I reckon my mates would laugh at me if I turned up in that thing. Is it just me or on the second picture the side stripe looks a bit out of alignment?

What is with the lowered rear and standard front? Looks like it is dragging its bum, must have worms!
They could have aligned the stripes properly

I would have through that $30k was too cheap. Ghia prices plus the $10k of mods ....very cheap. I want to know what they have done on the cheap, as I heard that real GTP seats were $3k alone, or have these been fabricated?

Looks very nice.
Not sure on the stripes though, I think it would look better without them.

It also appears to only have the chrome inserts at the rear bumper.

Stripes can be taken off easily ... but hell I like it.
I don't need another vehicle though ... but hell it'd be nice to own though. I'd buy it if i was in the market. Plus I prefer the suede seats over leather as well.

Stripes + LWB = mental illness.
Above car - stripes = a decent looking LWB domestic

Im pretty sure he lives around Geelong...seen it around town form time to time. Looks great in the flesh, just needs a rear bar to suit.

I take my hat off to him, I have been thinking of doing similar barring the stripes, bit more fine tuning would be my perfect family pimp mobile !!

remove the gay stripes, lower it equaly, put a ford badge on the front, change the seats to leather with FPV embroided rather than GT-P, make it 6spd auto, drop a boss 290 in it, and make the mirrors black and it would be nice.
It also needs side skirts and a rear kit. |

I think it looks ok, but I'd remove all the stripes and fix the ride. Looks low in the back and high in the front. Apart form that, looks the goods
