Default Ford BA XR8 Boss Scorpion

Anyone know the story on this: https://postanote.co.nz/classified-a...-Falcon_14346? ? I assume it is a NZ dealer or Kiwi performance shop special. The question was asked here: https://www.fordforums.com/threads/b...on-xr8.308130/

Dealer deal, the only sticker packs as such I recall for the BA XR8 was the Enforcer and Devil R.

$25k is outrageous.

Interesting how they embroidered the scorpion logo strait over the original xr moniker in all the seats. Also note that it looks to have been sold via a used dealer called Cleverleys at some stage in Balclutha, Otago. It seems the going rates for v8’s of that age in NZ is about that price.

the leather seats look much more desirable than standard XR leather. Or maybe just have retained their plushness cause not in OZ??

Green one appears to be number 57. So more than 50 made, referring to op at ford forum. This one doesn’t appear to have the scorpions on the seats.

Edit: just realised that it is a BF.

Back seat leather is definitely not Ford.

My BFII Faimont Ghia leather seats look similar, definitely more plush than XR leather, only difference is the front head rests that are obviously XR (not fairmont)
