Does your car have an Identical Twin?

[Woz]

There's a deep aqua XB Fairmont out Ferntree Gully way that's almost the same as mine. Differences being driving lights mounted on the front bumper and a colour coded sunvisor over the front windscreen, which mine doesn't have. Even had twelve slotters, which mine had up until a couple of months ago, but these were chrome ones (I had silver slotters which have since been replaced with alloy jellybeans). Seen an old bloke driving it a couple of times on Dorset Rd and got the wave and smile from him and his missus.

There's also a deep aqua XB Falcon (so less chrome, but let's be serious here) which I've spotted getting around in Geelong a few times now. Again, bumper mounted driving lights and colour coded sunvisor over the front screen. Twelve slotters once again, but this time they're silver, not chrome, just as mine had until the 'beans' went on. And yes, once again, an old bloke was behind the wheel. Only ever seen it while in the truck for work, so haven't had the joy of passing one XB in another.

I used to have a Silver EF V8 fairmont, Sunroof, xr8 rims, lowered and live in Frankston and there was an identical one in Hastings. Even the letters on the rego were the same and the numbers were 050 and 070. I always sped through Hasting as I would blame the other car if any one asked if it was me. Every time I saw the car I had to double look. Especially if I had left my car at home.

I drive a white Futura, so it has about 5000 identical twins!!!

[mUTHA]

nope never and never will

and if i do.... il steal their bonnet scoop so then i have 2

[The Monty]

There are a few like mine on this site. But mine will be different soon.

[kiraly_75]

i pulled up aside a completly stock version of my car the other day... really funny

i only have ultra lows, debagded tinted tail lights and no mud flaps but it looked really funny.. same colour wheels stuff like that i couldnt stop laughing

[Dauphin]

Took these one night.

Sorry about the s-h-i-t-h-o-u-s-e quality. One is mine and the other is a Sportsman but they're almost exactly the same.



Alternate angle.

If I left my car ('99 au S Falcon) stock it'd have an EXACT twin here in my town. Haven't seen any others though.

[Smoke Pursuit]

Territory no, i doubt it.

Super Pursuit, possibly, but ive put stripes on the hardcover buldge aswell, so probarly not.

[GTP owner]

BA GT-P in blueprint with stripes - yes. he was driving up to Simmon's plains next to me for the v8sca 6 months after i bought it. I thought he had excellent taste in cars!
BF xr6T in Bionic - yep, he is even on the forums in WA and ran the same time over the 400m! Wise decision to test the car at the track I thought.
XA coupe with 460 big block for the strip only, ummm no so far as i know.

The XC Cobra....a few!

The BA GT........none. A one off build.

[Fev]

near my house somewhere a few streets around there is a pearl blue Ba fairmont with exactly the same number plate but 2 letters were swapped around each other ie

AYT-06L - AYT-60L

so basicly the same lol

[Bucknaked]

I've not seen one the exact as mine, but plenty similar as in different colours. Main difference would be the rims.

That said, there is a Mulberry coupe on ebay at the moment. Quite nice looking.

for a while i had a 74 XB Fairmont GS shell, mulberry, cant remember if it had white vinyl or just a white roof, 302 and column shift auto

Since this post last year, I have fitted SVO wheels, lowered it, and given it a Scorcher bumper (still in black though). I'd be pretty certain that it's one of a kind now!

[XCSEDAN]

yep i know where there is an EXACT twin of what my car was (chocolate brown, beige vinyl roof 1977 XC Falcon 500 3speed column shift manual)
it lives about 5minutes from me!!!
its good fun when we drive behind each other, but it annoys him when im in front cause i can get off the line better now i have the 4speed

Yeah mines got a twin , in the fpv + XR club up here theres a 03 lightning strike XR6T same month aswell. _2:

[dave351cid]

a few months ago i was driving through Kingaroy QLD and parked in the street was a acid rush BA ute XLS with number plates a couple of numbers after mine . must have been bought at the same dealers in brisbane on the same day or soon after. was a lucky find i recond seeing that we were a long way from the selling dealer and 4 years later. the other ute had a polished roll bar and mine is charcole powder coat . apart from that they looked the same

[revcore]

I've seen 2 almost identical to mine getting around town.....Except mine is lowered, The others are standard ride height (Soon to be getting different rims).

[T3man]

I've been told I drive an AU taxi - guess I have lotsa twins out there

[Suicidal Goldfish]

Accidently pulled up right next to an exact copy of my EFII Ghia the other day, was pretty weird. Same colour, same tickford kit and rims, even had the same fairlane grill. Still haven't seen a set of plates with the last 3 digits being 666 on anything ever before my car, I'm special

[Elks]

Well yes and no.

Yes: there was 46 T2 Ts50's built. 17 in meteorite (grey). so there must be 16 out there somewhere.

No: My fairlane has factory blue trim. I can't find another like it. (By the way, if any one knows of a ZF Fairlane or XA Fairmont with blue trim. PM me I need some trim bits )

[onfire]

Theres a series one AU falcon, same colour, lowered, same tail-lights, factory tint, simular double exhaust tip and simular looking wheels, only a few hundred metres up my street.

Its caught me off guard a few times, seeing it taking off heavily from the car park at work. Heart skips a beat, then you see the differences.

[RapidBF]

There's a ute nearly identical to mine gets around the Valley. Mine is yellow (rapid) with black side stripes, bonnet decals, hard cover/spots bar combo with personalised plates (blue with white writing). The only difference between the two is the hard cover i think, oh and his plates are obviously different, but they're still personalised and the same colour.

[GORDZ]

well sorry to say it, but a few weeks ago i parked my blueprint ba xr6 with (at the time) rego SIL083, next to a blueprint ba xr6 rego'd SIL084 both from same dealer.

[XHUTE6]

Yeah, apparently in Adelaide here, there are 2 other utes identical to mine, Plain Silver XH, 5 poster and rollbar, lowered and CSA Rangers. But i bet i'm the only one with a twin zorst! I've never seen the other two but people tell me they see me all the time.

[HLC]

i use to park next to a monsoon blue AU 2 Fairmont at uni all the time.

only differences were the mods. and his had spoiler and yuck grey interior.

the guy actually hunted me down on aufalcon.com and pm'd me here once asking where i got chrome door handles etc lol

[Quasi]

Most likely not, but if there is another EBII Tickford Ghia in Ford 'Everglade' with an ED XR nose and 17" ANZ RIO wheels I've not come across it yet.

LOL!! I had the same thing, Black AU GHIA, de badged, clear lights, dark tint, 18's that looked alot like mine, my heart stopped.....thinking some ba57ard had stolen my AU.. then i realised i was in mine!

Although he didn't have the exhuast note of a stroker

[trick_xd]

Yep My car has a twin ... But it lives 200km away .

The only difference is that I have 5% tint and he has 35% and I have a hole in my bonnet the other car does not .
