Was on display in the FDC before it was shut in July..... This news is older than Jesus' first dinosaur.....

Indeed. That EA has been there since Jesus played fullback for Jerusalem!

I know its been around for ages, but I've also heard that the original was crushed, is it certain that its original? The cluster has around 30,000 on it or something.near there but the interior looked like it had done 200,000 ks and just looked like a standard ghia interior.
Has the bonnet ever been lifted on this thing?
And lol at ev sitting on the EB GT.

by **LUXO_8** » August 29th, 2012, 11:36 pm

yes its the original car.
it had no interior as it was a prototype. - discovery center put that interior in it very recently..no idea as to why
yes the bonnet has been lifted and there is a 351W in it.

by **needfordspeed** » August 29th, 2012, 11:39 pm

Did anyone take a look at the interior? It was so so so so FUCKED, would have been better if they just left it without an interior.

by **suspect** » August 30th, 2012, 7:51 am

They let me open the bonnet, the day I was there.
Never seen so many people come straight over to an EA. Haha..

Anyone else knock the wing? It's definitely wood.
The interior was a let down.

I offered to buy it. They wouldnt sell

by **wombi90** » August 30th, 2012, 8:07 am

I heard ford wanted it crushed but the employees buried it in a container? Don't know hug it's true or not though

by **Mr_4.0** » August 30th, 2012, 9:15 am

Not true haha

by **ford_racing_8** » August 30th, 2012, 9:34 am

I agree, would of looked better with no interior. I should of asked them to lift the bonnet the day i was there. Anyone got any photos of the motor?

by **EFFalcon** » August 30th, 2012, 9:48 am

i'm surprised they put an interior in it, its been sitting there without one for so long.
hand the interior over to a tafe and get it done up all nice

When I did work experience at the Ford Factory back in June 2001 they were using the test mules as transport around the plants lol. My department had an AU Fairlane, another department had an AU2 XR8 and there were still some NL's kicking about.

I remember seeing the EA GT in 2000 when I first went Discovery Centre. The only good thing about it was the paint and the mint rear garnish and lights. Everything else was

Ahhhh those were the days!
