Yeah. It's nice. I read about that article in Performance Ford magazine ages ago. Only 10 built! If I had a car that rare, I would have left it stock.

We were involved with Mal as a sponsor from 1991-93 and I remember this car well.
She sure wasnt any ordinary Falcon thats for sure, it had lots of little things done by the factory specifically for Aust Production Car C/ship success and thats exactly what it did!
Ahh, memories, Bathurst 12hr in 93'... weekend we'll never forget :

Mmmmmmmm that would be nioce to drive, thanks for the read.

Interesting looking at the supercharger, you could probably convince people it's just an updated air-con unit, lol!

I remember that car, but I hated the colour coding of the wheels. Too much red.

Yeah I remember that issue of PerFord. The car really struck a note with me as I read it when I first bought my EA. Doesn't do much for me these days.

The SS was basically Test version of the XR6, before the XR6 was released.

That car is an easy leason on how to ruin a very rare car.
