Hi all, I snapped these pics about 3 weeks ago at the Andamooka rubbish dump in outback South Australia. There were no compliance plates on the car and I didnt check the shock tower stamping but it 'appeared' to be a genuine XB GS coupe. http://i20.photobucket.c...mad/ResizeofDSCF0018.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.c...mad/ResizeofDSCF0017.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.c...mad/ResizeofDSCF0016.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.c...mad/ResizeofDSCF0012.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.c...mad/ResizeofDSC00201.jpgAs you may have guessed from my username I'm also a Monaro fan and it also saddened me when I found a HJ GTS Monaro in simlar condition out there too. The Monaro was positioned in such a way that I wasn't able to get a decent shot but here's the best I have. It 'appeared' to be the real deal with the decals still in place but it was impossible to be able to tell for sure. There was no way I was climbing down to try and get a better look. http://i20.photobucket.c...41/Munromad/DSCF0013.jpgregards Darren

Hi mate,
No I didn't claim it but the thougt did cross my mind.
I already have 2 XB coupes at home and long with the other cars, I'm running out of room.
Repairing that coupe is beyond my skills anyway.
Pity it's so far away as I'm sure if it

Hi Pan, I don't like my chances of getting up that way again all that soon so she'll probably be bulldozed over the edge by then. I have also recently been led to believe that the tail light housings are the same on the sedan and the coupe. Can anyone c

Munro, Thanks for getting back to me, yeah I figured there would be repo ones available, but I just hate watching the original stuff getting trashed, I recently found out that Ford used the rear bumper off the XA Sedan on the XB coupe, http://www.xbfordf
