The Electric blue at the summer nats with the sunroof is the true Phase 3, i have been in it, When he finished working on it, it was a beast, have a look at no's 4/5 summer nat's. Also what happend to Bill Bourkes Black XY GT HO with the cobra jet 428, they wanted 80K for it back in 1987-88, with allen moffat's 120K + Last XE ESP 4.9 $50K,of the production line all on the one page in Unique Cars. Just with the ID Tags & a concrete bunker, you could buy anything you wanted, if they have the $
A very nice example of a HO unusual to see electric blue with saddle tan trim most were black.I used to own a genuine JG33 XY GT with 4speed toploader nugget gold with black trim they were the toughest car around the GT got app 16 MPG in stock form the GTHO got around 8 MPG but had a guzzling 780 Holly carb. A 350 chev HQ monaro wont get near a GTHO there is nothing like the sound of that Cleveland engine up around 7000 RPM
Friggen awesome. The un-official Targa preview. Was some of that video the road from Mole Creek to Claude RD Sheffield ? My sister lives in Sheffield. She drives a XB GS Fairmont Hardtop.
@Antifaith29 No, but they were going to put the 318 CI, in them to keep up with the V8's, same with the XU1, they were going for a 308, but too much mod's, back then, the car you brought from the dealer's was what they raced, with a little mod's, like roll cage, thats it. so, if they had the charger 318, i feel it would have gave the ho a run for it's money, it's a shame, i have been in both, the charger 318 cop car, look it up it's a South Australian Cop car doing a burn out cheers.
It's a real car, with life. Like your own children; You can't prefer one, over the others. Holden and Ford (Australia) made the best cars ever. Mention to Chrysler (Australia) for the superb Charger and their straight 8's as well.
Sorry mate to burst your bubble, but thats not a phase 3, phase 3 have the air scoop on the drivers side of the bonnet, not the shaker in the center, this is most likely a phase 1 or phase 2. And to what BMW said (bellow) SLR5000 will still be more expensive than a xr6 or xr6 turbo any day, and they are allot nicer too.
Also at 0.28 look at the XB / Fairlane Mirror on the drivers side, so it's a mock up, but nice anyway, also anyone that has a HO will not show plates or ID tags, because they can steal anything thesedays & with the net & HO's going for what $500,000 in original Cond, well boy's let's get to work. Ha Ha.
Good on ya for taking it out and giving it a blast, trailer queens aint right.
that bug squashed on the windscreen doesnt know how lucky he was to catch a ride on such a beautiful car
Sadly, this is as close as I'll ever get to driving a Phase III. Oh what a glorious beast.
This the fix I need till I get my XY on the road. I cant help but smile everytime you gun that engine and the rumble becomes pure bliss.
awesome to see someone using it as it was intended
its good to see its being driven and driven hard, cos that was the idea wen the HOEYS were built. good job

I live in Sheffield but in uk. Have driven XY XW tho
Sorry i got a bit mixed up, yes that is a phase 3, the phase 2 has the off center scoop. Thought i would just fix that up.
thankyou for posting... awesome. Can you put it on in higher res please?
omg, what an absolute classic! :-D~~~~
thanks for the ride mate, where was that last bit of road at? it looked like some good twisties.
the chargers were going to be 340 ci from mopar in the states was a popular engine with racers in the states
That puppy's gotta be worth at least 100k+...
my dream car

man the last one sold was nearly 600k
Now thats a car.
Question : Did the Chargers often beat these down the straight @ Bathurst?
Serious question, not interested in a war of words, im genuinely curious.
No
As opposed to Gen Y...?
luv the car but why oh why that piece of pox external rev meter ??? why would you moleste something like that?
@eddie100 Chrysler straight 8's?????????????????????? Chrysler never made a straight 8 I was aware of!!
if you can afford over $600,000 and truly understood the value of one of those you would'nt touch it!
You obviously have no idea
is it the real thing?
do you want to sell it?

????????????😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
It's a Phase three.Phase 2 had the side scoop,though sixteen years have passed you might realise that now.
I don't think its a replica but it sure isn't a phase 3
It's a phase three.

Is that an original ho
Nothing an xu1 won't sort out!!!!
In your dreams.
I don't care how much people love or hate any car- but a half million dollar car going to God is a crime.
