Australia's Rarest Falcon - Cobra Jet 428 BB
MATE!!!! Just go my hands on the latest copy of Ford Performance Magazine and it has a BEASTY Black 428 XW on the cover. Looks tuff as.
Is this car for real??? Surley Ford Oz didnt make this car with a 428 in it.
Anyone else know of this car? Supposed to be a ONE OFF!!! made for the bloke who invented the Aussie GT as his own car.

Yep, that car is for real alright
Was built for Bill Bouke, had a shaker fitted (on an XW) and 428 Shelby Equipped badges on the fenders

Yep it's for real. Only one ever made for Bill Bourke and it left the factory fully engineered.
Couldn't put a price on it though. No-one would ever sell it!

Re: Australia's Rarest Falcon - Cobra Jet 428 BB
Check out the mag, it has heaps of pics and a full story on it. Just wanted to make sure it wasnt BS.
Its one of those clasic 'its too good to be true' stories. A magic read indeed. The rest of the Mag isnt half bad either. I thinks me be buying more of this one.

I subscribe to it, so I think it should be in the newsagents any day now. Keep your eyes Banana peeled for it :)
