BA XR8 2 Door for sale....

Came across this one:

http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/!ebroadcast_content.pv_vehicle_display?vehicle_id=2187092&current_rec=1&total_rec=2&sort_type=&make_ id=6&model_id=17&keyword=COUPE&search_distance=50&state_id=-1

Doesn't look enough like purpose built 2 door me, just chopped BA. Needs more plowing lines and rake to the the rear...IMO.

Re: BA XR8 2 Door for sale....

It does look unique, thankfully....
Like jemmex said, it's wheelbase looks too short, and roof too high.

Looks decent, but yeh, too pricey.

Maybe if it was a 2 door GT..

Re: BA XR8 2 Door for sale....

Almost looks like they have just put ute doors on and welded the back doors shut...! looks way out of proportion though. Looks like a Focus sedan on steroids!

Re: BA XR8 2 Door for sale....

Mmmmm if someone could give the C-pillar a flatter angle, and give it those kick-up bits in the side glass (aka XA-C coupes), I'd take out a huge loan to get one!

Re: BA XR8 2 Door for sale....

What a waste of time effort and money. They have taken a good looking practical car and destroyed it. Turned it into a useless, ugly joke. I wish people would give up trying to revive the spirit of the original coupes.
