XT Coupe

[7Litre]

Before Biante releases a XTGT I was wondering if a Concept Coupe could be developed. It was shown at the Melbourne Motor Show in early 1969. It introduced the Super Roo insigna and previewed the 'shaker' bonnet scoop later scene on the XY. The two door body was straight from the US Falcon and possibly in Candy Apple or Zurcon Green Colour.

We all know that the 'Idea Car' was never developed in Australia but Holden has their VT Concept Car, why cant Ford.

I saw one in Perth in the Mid-Nineties and what a 'Head Turning' unit it was.

I think it had a big block in it from memory, i'll have to check, he could be concidered the father of the GT.
