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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 )

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. |

Rapid BF XR8 Ute

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.

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.

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 . |
