Thanks guys

Where would I be able to find the paint code cause I'm after an external sun visor which I want to match to the body colour.
I know its a navy blue with flake which was one of the colours that only came on the concordes
It had only done 130,000ks.
I'll post up some more pics when i take it for another photoshoot in a couple weeks, found this nice secret spot in williamstown.

My cousin had a dark green one of these with the 6 Cylinder, It was his 1st car which he brought brand new in 97'. Was almost as clean as this one, Had 11,000kms on it when he sold it 5 years ago.
Anyhow, Welcome George, beautiful machine, Swap ya for a BA2 XR6???

Haha wow now i feel like an idiot lol
My apologies, my brain is kind of fried after work

Thanks guys! I can't believe how much people like it. It sort of justifies why I drove it from QLD (where i bought it) back to VIC

icachn - It is a 6 but the Concordes came with the Tickford motor from factory so its essentially an XR6 Fairlane haha
galapogos - Yeah I do have a few interior shots but you wont believe they were taken late last year. I'll post some up
GIFFO97 - Thanks for the offer mate but I think I might just hold on to this one

I'm currently looking for an external sun visor for the front which i want to paint the same colour as the body then I'm done. Gonna start pouring my cash into getting a 64 Lincoln Continental shipped over from the states.
Here are the interior shots from back when i first got it back here in VIC late last year:




This was my old rig and still one of my most favorite cars. My grandfathers old 1998 LTD

And yes for those with a keen eye, those are the original floor mats with "Concorde" embroidered on it.

Nothing special going on in the bay atm. Might go for extractors. Only real difference is now there's a big thick red cable for the sub haha

Love it, if I had a concorde like this I'd leave it as is and just appreciate how lucky I was to find such a mint car

Misk - yeah that was when i just got back from driving it from QLD to VIC so its a lot cleaner now
sparksy - yeah i'm telling you, its like nobody has sat in it. I'll try get a pic of the boot and you'll freak out, nothings ever been put in it. As for the seat covers they were custom made from it. I think they said they spent $750 on them. Some people were saying take them off others loved them. Personally i love them too they look pimp spec
ELDanny - Don't worry, everything I've done to this car or will ever do I've done so that I can always put the original stuff back on. Even the original radio I've kept, original springs, I've even kept the plastic hood protector and head light protectors.

Yeah keep the covers on! Ide like some for mine, I'll do some hunting for some custom companies!
Good to see it found a good home! Too many good cars seem to get abused and thrown away.
