I think I'll make this a regular topic! =-)
Check this out on Ebay!
ford xa super bird glove box Item number: 110077240708
Yes mate, very rare....trouble is, it's exactly the same as a normal glove box and you can buy those decals at any repro parts place for about $15.
Hmm...I have a spare glove box lid, might buy a sticker, whack it on, leave it outside in the rain and heat for a few weeks and wala $800!

Hey Craig I dont know how to put a pic on this site but if you can do it for me that would be great.
I spotted a blue/white Gossy on ebay (type in "xb coupe") the parts look great!!! deep in the friggin bush!!! Id like to know where is the other parts and why rip a great car apart? and also does this guy have the shock tower and complience plates??????
I have a green/white Gossy and to see this gets me wondering and thinking what the f**k!!!
I feel like i want to put a bid on, they would look awsome in the pool room.
Check it out, and see what you think.
Cheers Phill. |

Hey craig, sold one of them air con set ups a while ago to a bloke from tassie. think I got around 400 for it from memory. I sold it coz i scored a factory (u cant see me) air con setup at a bargain price. I agree, under dash as opposed to integrated, I will take integrated, but at lease the under dash wasnt on compliance plates so if ya want air con but ya plates dont show it, least ya can cheat and use the underdash units.

In reference to lying scumbag, I think thats a bit harsh mate, no im not the one selling it. But i would go for more along the lines of mis informed individual. If it was around 250 bucks then I would hit buy it now,.. It is a bit over the top price wise in my opinion, as always my opinion may not be yours and thats cool. lets face it be it a gs or a gt bonnet , they are becoming hard to get in that condition. I have a perfect gt bonnet, 2 actually , 1 gs bonnet and a standard one in the shed for rainy days, and they will eventually go onto one of my cars. Cant see me ever selling any of them. But i will always buy more at a REASONABLE market value. to me 500 is rough, 800 is downright ridiculous. make it 250 and I will hang it in my shed with the rest of em.

Craig, I beleive you are the clown. I assume you feel you need to be noticed which is why you constantly post a new message on your own original post so your name is up the top. People will pay what they need to for parts at the time, if it is more that what you think is is worth then you tend to post yet another listing. Your last post has a bid already, you beter e-mail him and say he is being ripped off. I suggest you stop searching for this kind of stuff and actually work on a car. I am sure everyone is getting sick of this post coming to the top all the time.

I do not know how to attach the file, but I nearly signed the cheque book for the XC Cobra on E-bay at the moment for $100,000.
I think that is reserve not met too. Pity it is a Fairmont and that the Cobras last numbers matched its numbering on the glovebox and his is 800 odd, And I thought they only made 400. I really hope no one falls for his price tag! |

Well here is a classic example. a fellow listed his V8 Fairmont Ghia a few times with a reserve.
The bidding reached about $2,600 but didnt reach reserve on more than one occasion which is fair
enough. He then lists the car for $1 with no reserve. A foolhardy move you would think BUT bidders
IDs are kept private (presumably so he can shill bid). The car finally "sells" for $2,650 which is still below his previous reserve:

Now an identical even down to the rego number car appears on eBay listed "for a friend" from an
entirely different user:

I have the same box at home but close ratio and reckon if he gets

Well here is a good clown. He states that he ends auctions early so get in and bid but looking through his
previous auctions & feedback there is no evidence of an auction finishing early & selling to the high bidder
at all.
This Torana sold by him a couple of weeks ago for nearly $4000 is now sitting at $3000 with 6 hours to go.
He has not left the previous "purchaser" bad feedback as yet either. I bet it re appears in a week or two.

Posted - 03/03/2007 : 6:42:39 PM
The single system cut out actually extends deeper into the panel than the GT square cutouts, so if all you did was cut a square GT type cutout into a standard panel it would not be exactly correct and could be picked up if you knew what you were looking at.
If you wanted it perfect you will have to weld a small piece of steel at the top of the original cutout to fill the gap.
Of course, you wouldnt have to do anything with the passenger side as its a blank canvas. |
| Paul351xb |
Posted - 03/03/2007 : 09:34:02 AM
The fibreglass ones actually dont fit too bad. Hard to tell they
are glass unless you tap them. Id be trying to get a couple of
old single system rear stone trays and cutting them up rather than
the factory twin system. The twin round cut out is still collectable and is a lot rarer than the single system cut outs. Grab a rear stone tray off a sedan or fairlane if you can find one laying around and try chopping that up. Alternatively to cutting and snipping if are pretty handy with a welder, look at the XD to XF rear stone trays. The cut out is the same shape as the GTs. |
| Munromad2004 |
Posted - 03/03/2007 : 01:01:52 AM
Thats what I thought.
The fibreglass one I have looks OK (not on the car yet) but I dont like my chances of it fitting properly and it would be harder to reshape than metal if I need to adjust it.
Ive got a couple of V8 coupes but I think they both have the dual round cut outs. Maybe I can try my hand at modifying them. |
| Paul351xb |
Posted - 03/03/2007 : 12:16:24 AM
Yeah mate, GTs had square cut outs. The one in the pic is a factory twin system rear stone tray. Available on all V8 non GTs with a factory twin system. If you are handy with a set of tin snips its actually not that hard to convert the standard single system rear stone tray into a GT copy. You just have to be good at cutting, bending and measuring though I met a panel beater once who could knock them out and there was no way to tell it wasnt a genuine GT rear stone tray. |
| Munromad2004 |
Posted - 02/03/2007 : 6:14:21 PM
Is that because GTs had the squarer cut out and not the round ones?
What else gives it away as being non genuine.
Just curious as I had to resort to buying a fibreglass repro for my XB coupe but would love a steel one. (square cut outs though). |

Now this guy is not so much a clown but a typical Ebay con artist, any interested bidders should know that I have seen this car listed at least 5 times so far and every time it has apparently sold. Obviously this bloke is bidding on his own stuff and keeps winning his own auction in his attempts to pump up the sale price.
Note, there is no reserve, it will sell! Just like it did the other 5 times!!
Just be warned guys, if you bid on this youll definately be in competiton with the seller himself. |

Posted - 11/01/2007 : 11:26:44 AM
Yeah look at his bad feedback "for a 29 year old bar its mint". My (& probably everyone elses) idea of "mint" would mean as good as new no matter how old it is.
Mint meaning as it left the mint or factory. |
