Well I've pulled enough tail lights out of coupe wrecks over the years. Never once were they factory black and a few of them were XCs. I'd be double checking where you got your info from. |

Hi Paul,
Here's a Ford promo pic and even though it is in black & white it is clear that he surounds on the tail lights are Black I also have plenty of pictures of XC Falcon & Fairmont coupes and all have tail lights with black surrounds. I also owned a factory original 1977 XC Fairmont coupe that was as per the day it left the factory including black tail light surrounds. I would be interested in seeing any factory pics that show Chrome surrounds on XC's as everything I have and seen shows black only. Cheers Bruce |

Brut33, I absolutley love the John Goss Special mate.
Geez Louise the XA coupe, the one in the middle, never came out with a shaker from the factory. The XA GTs had two scoops sunken into the middle section of the bonnet on either side the raised center section. I'm not trying put down that XA Coupe but I much prefer the standard twin scoops over the aftermarket shaker. IMHO Shakers look the best on XY's and a bit try hard on anything else. Having said that though. I saw a BA XR8 with one on it the other day and it looked a lot better that I thought it would. And just to go way off topic for a second, I saw an early AU XR8 with a power hump/bulge on the bonnet recently and that looked exceedingly (SP?) cool. Saw the same thing on a Holden crewman, NOT Cool. Thanks for the XA to XC photos guys, brings back some memories |

OK you guys have me confused. I've pulled chrome tail lights out of 2 XC GS coupes and I've seen the chrome on a XC Fairmont coupe. Replacement tail lights at some stage in the cars life or did a batch of chrome one make it to QLD?

After I bought it I sold the running gear and wheels which made it slightly more tame on the street. |
