Default Half EB/EF

The other week when stopped in a carpark i saw a half EB/EA and half EF/EL the back end was EB and the front was EF from my guess.

It freaked the s#%t out of me, anyone else in Adelaide seen or know this car? It certainly looks interesting to say the least.

Yeah i've seen a few like that, but it's the first time i'd seen a Falcon like this. It probably would have looked better if it had the paint job done, so the way i saw probably didn't do it much justice.

Good on him for trying something different though i say.

Sorry guys, don't have any pics...but I saw one about a year ago in Dancaster Autobarn carpark. Had a chat to the owner, he wanted to get rid off it. It looked allllrriiiggghhhttt, but I didn't really like the job he had done with it.
When I first saw it, I just thought..."oh yeah...EL XR...What The! EB at the back!" It was weird to say the least!

If anyone can find there pictures that would be great, as some of these cars would look sooo interesting.

Did you see how much that EA was selling for?

they would have used an XH XR front for that last one.........factory XF/EF hybrid front
doesnt look bad.......


lot of work underneth to get it to fit up though....everything forward of the shock towers has to be replaced with XH bits... not overly hard if you're a panelbeater

Hey yeah, i didnt notice that, but i did notice it has what looks like an EA-EL wagon rear bar, which would have taken a bit of work to fit too.

I don't like that EB/ED with the EL front. It looks weird with the squarer back combined with the rounded front. The proportions look all wrong

It's weird, because you see two generations of Falcon in one car lol

Cheers Luke,

While I didnt take those photos (credit to whoever did BTW), I rummaged through the photos on my hard drive for like an hour looking for them, lol.

They look odd but its neat that people do it just because they can, certainly unique.
