Great pics and info, like you should I ever win Lotto I will be turning up with a T3 to convert into a Coupe. I think a T3 body kit would suit the 2 door shape really well, but no modular engine under the bonnet.

I've only been living in Queensland for a few months but I'll be attending the AFD in Kedron soon, here's hoping that Mark brings his red 2 door down!

how on earth could you have built and own the Aarow coupe, and never plan to drive it.

I don't like the styling, but its such a shame that it just sits there.

Yeah I don't think any one made any FG coupes that I know of actually! Same with and EF/EL Coupes.

there were a fee EB coupes and a few BA coupes... Seriously though, right now I have no idea why Ford didn't mass produce the Falcon coupes again... It would have seemed obvious to turn the AU into a 2 door to compete with the Monaro

That FG looks really really good, and I don't normally like the styling of FG's much, they look like a Camry.
