Spotted FG GT Taxi In Melbourne.

[G6E TURBO 270KW]

Hey guys sorry to burst the bubble but this taxi is owned by Jerry which is G6 falcon mocked as a GT with all original Fpv bumpers and badges the only give away is the Crome on the boot and bonnet garnish

[Mr Hardware]

Ah thanks for the heads up ^.

I was quietly betting it was an I6 in some form.

[buggo]

I saw an Xr6 taxi today and thought it was impressive, same as the G6e's although there's more of thek and theyre with the silver service.

Come to think of it, it was missing the exhaust note, that's why I suspected a mock up.

bummer.. the GT police may re take their seats....

Hypothetically; what would a 3 year old 850 000 km ex GT falcon taxi be worth?

"On holidays" apparently, and going out to Longreach from what I heard. Good on them...Porsche 911's are one of the few supercars that you can actually use as an everyday car. Similarly, GT Falcons are just a Falcon with a few nice bits and pieces. Good to see them out and being used.

Just wanna point out Porsche 911 model are not supercars and never will be. They are an overprice sport car. The only supercar porsche has made is the Carrera GT.

A taxi couldn't cover 850k in 3 years - even if it spent every shift on the road and was driven by ambitious drivers, it would do only about 200k kms per year.

But to answer your question, what would a 5 year old 850k GT be worth? About the 10k mark - but that would very much depend on how many times it had been crashed, whether it has been molested (sagging bumpers tek-screwed on, panels bogged, bastard parts fitted) and how utterly shagged the motor was. I don't think there's any way a modern ford V8 could last 850k without a major rebuild, unlike the venerable and legendary I6

Some better pics.

Nice job - even got fake Brembos and a fake twin exhaust...

Quite some effort to make it look legit. To mine eye the wheels looked a little small, or the ride height a little high, but that is understandable, with passenger comfort a priority.

Nice car mate!

Grobbo, I'm not saying they are fuzzy wuzzy Loch Ness Monster type photos, but I'm pretty sure I can see LPG tags on the top RH corner of both front and rear number plates. The risk of a fine would be too much.

Yeah I noticed that after I posted 'em.

Was too lazy to edit. Ha ha.

I'm sure they're normally in the middle of the plate!

[Professor Farnsworth]

they're wherever they fit, as long as they're on the plate

[chrisfpv]

This was the same one I spotted in cambellfield the other day.

[Lukeyson]

nice for a kit, even got the brembo covers for the std brakes too.

Well done, something different

Trust me, Melbourne Taxi drivers have enough stink.

[baboon]

Nice effort by the taxi man. Should of got the hockey stick stripes in the chequred taxi print to finish it off!

[Bossxr8]

Thats very well done. Pretty cool for a taxi.

[IceValk85]

if it was a GT and running on LPG i wonder what kinda of power it would have made?

i'm sure he depreciates it against his tax, like any other business.

Saw this on Ackland Street in St Kilda on NYE. He is just missing the GT side skirts
