[Nikk O'lass]

Someone should buy it and tow a caravan...

[LTDHO]

Awesome car to buy, no corners cut, a lot of money spent (farken)

[old_mate]

20k for an EA though farken.

[XR_Lightning]

awesome car, I would say he is probably selling due to losing his licence

[LUXO_8]

that'd be my guess too damo

[Malakai]

Ford should buy it and put it on display at the Ford Discovery Centre.

[DOHC-EB]

WOW!!! If i had a spare 20k id buy it for sure... even though its an EA

[EFFalcon]

Best part about the car is the legalities of it.

not to mention how full featured and well done it is.

Would be a fantastic car to do track days in!
thats what its built for.

[moonman]

Ford should buy it and give it to me as a gift!

[Nikk O'lass]

Ford should buy it and put it on display at the Ford Discovery Centre.

Hell yeah

This cars had some history, and i'ld hate to see it get into the hands of an asshat who prangs it or does something stupid to it.

[Rollin]

I want that car sooo bad

[EdFairmontGhia]

Does anyone know if there is a build thread on this somewhere?
Wicked car

[nstg8a]

thats the first ea that i really liked... cant argue with 450ish kw in one of the lightest falcons ever made...

[Jake]

I remember back when I was around 5 or 7, my dad told me about this EA towing a caravan faster than any caravan has been towed before... that would of been about 1997 - 1999... I think we have the magazine around somewhere too.

I hope it goes to a good home, just put away on display somewhere where it cant be crashed.

[private9]

20k for an EA though farken.

That's just a starting bid.

It's up for 30k ono on AFF.

Awesome car though!

[Nikk O'lass]

Does anyone know if there is a build thread on this somewhere?
Wicked car

It was in Street Fords Issue 43

[old_mate]

30k! you could buy 30 EA's for that lol.

It's definately an awesome car though...i'd still be buying a F6 for that much cash however.

[Nikk O'lass]

30k! you could buy 300 EA's for that lol.

Fixed

[BROCKYB8]

YEah he lost it for 2 years . I was speaking to him yesterday about this.
He doesnt really want to get rid off but he doesnt want it to sit there and do nothing for 2 years.
He will have this out at easternats i believe

its quite a famous car.

[Hybrid34]

Did it ever go on the 1/4? what did it run?

[Kyle the ED4LTR]

Thats one tough EA, only just realised that he was the guy that did the dyno on my car

[BROCKYB8]

Ive seen it do 12's and i think it did a 11 last street ford drags with the car being all over the shop for most of the quater mile

[Hybrid34]

i think it did a 11 last street ford drags with the car being all over the shop for most of the quater mile

So A potential 10 - 9second ea ?

[lpg-092]

yeah this thing is crazy i saw the run mentioned above with thing all over the track!
I've read the street fords artical a million times i reckon and the amount of stuff done and the detail is incredible!
+1 for tuffest ea ever made!
needs to go to a good home if it goes.

[vulpine]

i wonder if its still running 32psi boost

[EFFalcon]

no its not... its running mid 20's.

[vulpine]

so at 32psi it would be getting close to 700hp at the wheel. .
power curve is awesome, the torque is off the scale, this is very likely the best engineered e series falcon engine to date.
and its street legal sigh ......close to perfection

[Fritzz]

yeh very very cool car, perfect for track days

[waghoonEF]

sick it had $150,000 spent on it in its first build so $30,000 is a steal

[Malakai]

I think the magazine article said that it spent 6 years in Japan doing track work before the motor blew up because the owner hadn't done any maintenance on it at all. It was bought back here and rebuilt/repaired.
