Bull. Here's my old VJ with 17"'s that we pulled off my EF. We had to bore out the center on them to fit onto the Valiants hubs. Looks mad as on her!

But not in 48hrs, a mate owns one and they had a fair choice of build numbers to choose from, but all the real good numbers were gone of course, 1, "40", 100, 200 302 351 400 etc, I think they ended up taking number 26 and they had time to think about it.
BTW a 40th Anniversary isn't as nice as a GTP, mate went from a BAII GTP to the 40th and was very disappointed with seats, interior etc, he didn't even realise he had a lower spec brake package as well, he does like the R spec suspension but it is available in just about anything now, he wishes they had more herbs before 4000rpm (same as the GTP), but doesn't every BOSS owner wish that.
At least this Cobra isn't just cosmetic, unlike the original XC Cobra with all but 30 fitted or modified with items to allow for racing, the rest were basically a stock GS fitted with 351 or 302 Cleveland, stock 4 wheel disc brakes, special black and blue trim, sports dash, fancy paintwork and a set of mags, all done to get rid of the 500 or so XC hardtop shells which would have been left over when XD was released.
Imagine if they ever release a HO.
The collector bug has bitten big time after the big dollars old muscle cars are getting now, EB and EL GT's didn't sell that fast. |

The GT and GTP engines have always been the same. The Cobra's 302 is the first change they've made.
GTP's do get much nicer seats, and the big brakes standard.
The supposed* lack of poke below 3000rpm can be readily fixed with some diff gears 
*Really though there's still plenty of power/torque down there (last dyno had a measuring of 480nm from about 2000rpm). |
