It actually looks pretty cool, has anyone ever seen one on the roads? They'd have to be as rare as the EB Falcon SS!

There was a V8 EB Cobra on carsales.com.au for a long time early last year not sure what happened to it. I think from memory it was in preston or coburg..Anyone else see it?

Default Eb Cobra

That EB Cobra was my old EA Series III Faimont,

I put a custom EB GT kit on it with an XR / GT moulded front.

It was the only EB driving around with that front at the time.

I also took of the fairmont badge and replaced it with an XR6 one.

I traded it in for the EL XR8 I drive now. George purchased it soon after that.

Goeorge did the seats and put the cobra strips on it.

I was one of the suckers who bought that magazine thinking that Ford were going to re-release the cobra for the EB. Anything to sell a magazine......

This EB GT Cobra Mock Up is on Ebay at the moment

Click for Ebay Link

It sounds like the one mentioned and the contact is George.

It is actually quite a good job and I don't mind it at all.
