No, but the front bar looks to have had the silver bit repainted at some stage.

there's a burgandy one that lives is noranda-ish area with the number plates JUSTBONZA. Really old dude has owned it since new, i've always said if i was after a burgandy EBGT it would definitely be that one as it looks like he takes nice care of it. Go hunting and give him an offer

Reason i'm not keeping this to myself is my now fiance` HATES e series falcons so i could never be allowed to buy one now :(

i would buy an el gt without caring what she thinks though lol

Asked a mate to go & check it out. Has Original Owners manual,3 owner car. The car was sold new from Centre Ford Perth, car was traded back to Centre Ford in 97/98. The current (3rd) owner worked at Centre Ford & sold it to the 2nd owner. The current owner Steve has had the car for 3 years & is a Salesman at the dealership where the car is currently for sale.

111,000kms, interior drivers bolster warn, matts missing, something wrong with the fan in the dash,premium sound/6 stack cd.

Exterior, front bumper has had paint as the grey is too shiny, rest of the panel & paint looked pretty good. Engine bay okay just needs a clean, front end needs alignment as the left front tyre is really badly warn on outside, right front average. All rims in good condition.

Sounds like the car could do with a bit of work then....With all the faults your mate has found on the vehicle, is it really worth the top dollar of $26,990 ???

In a word NO, low 20's would be what it's worth, apparently the fan problem is around a $200 fix. With the tyres/front end, it could just be an alignment problem or something worse, if you were serious about buying it i would suggest that you get a mechanic to check it out, put it on a hoist & check the front suspension etc.

It sounds like it wouldn't be to hard to contact the 1st & 2nd Owners.

Fan problem is probably the controller in the heaterbox. Might be $200 for a new one, but you can use anyone from a high series EA-EL
