It was a racing car, if it was slower than the xr8 of the time, that would kinda wreck the whole point of what it is being built for.........

The SS isn't really coming to light, it was never hidden. It was used in the production car races of the early 1990's, guess nobody really cared. They do now tho.

Bill Burke

Was it Mal Rose who drove an SS EB Falcon in production cars back in the early 90s? I think that was his name?

I watched a special on foxtel awhile ago on the history of the falcon,they stated after the xy phase3 was produced ford made about 5 xa phase4's and the federal gov.was so concerned with these high powered vehicles coming on the market that they told all 3 manufacturers,ford holden and chrysler,that if they continued to produce even quicker cars they would not buy from them to use in there fleet,thus all 3 manufacturers complied.
they did do an interview with a guy in sydney who had a xa phase 4. only 3 remain today so they said. icon_surprised.gif

^ all correct...except that there were 4 phase4s. One was destroyed in a raceing car accident, one is owned by a dentist in Sydney (and is driven regularly) the other is owned by a fella in Vic(all the info he will release...and fair enuf too) and the third has dissappeared and is/was quite possibly owned by someone who has no idea about what they own/owned,

the calypso green xa gtho phase iv is the only one with phase 4 on it's compliance plate,all the others just have xa gt,the green one was sold new by a sydney dealer and is in storage in the southern tablelands of nsw,it is also the only one with a vinyl roof,they reckon it could be worth as much as 3.5 million being the only true phase 4 ever to be made

the GT stamp was on the 72 XA.s but was dropped on the 73 models. (Supercars killing people, blah, blah, blah,). They were still very much GT.s (JG33/JG66) but just did not have "GT" on the tag

as Hot40L said the green P4 is parked up somewhere and is not a daily driver. the chick in melbourne story is definitely worth looking at

on the EB SS thing. i have seen some factory paperwork that mentioned SS but i thought it was a typo. will check it out again
