Seeing is believing!! A brand new 2012 Ford FG GT FPV R-SPEC with only 55 kilometres!! Pampered by two careful owners. Everything on this car from the Winter White paint to the spare tyre are brand new!! Press that start button and you are immediately treated to the sound of the thundering supercharged DOHC Coyote V8 engine under the bonnet. This particular example has been optioned with the ZF six-speed sequential automatic transmission and the Brembo brake upgrade. The car is build number 78 and comes with its logbook, compendium, certificate of authenticity and all other related paraphernalia. The FG GT R-Spec came with a raft of changes included a launch control system, stiffer engine and transmission mounts and retuned suspension. The suspension gained stiffer upper control arm bushes, stiffer upper strut mounts and retuned dampers at the front, with the rear gaining higher spring rates, retuned dampers, a larger anti-roll bar and reinforced lower control arms. The rear also gained a wider 9-inch wheel package shod with 275/30 R19 tyres and revised toe-link settings. This "R-Spec" also ended up being a louder car than the regular GT and GT-P despite no particular changes to that effect. The R-Spec split public and owners on not only looks but the package as well. For the first and only time Ford/FPV produced a car with major changes in drive and handling. Many existing FPV owners were quick to down play what was actually quiet a good package which significantly improved drive and performance. In total, 175 units were built painted Silhouette black with red accents and a "C" stripe down each side, echoing the 2012 Ford Laguna Seca. Kinetic blue, Vixen and Winter white were the other colours available to order, featuring black accents and stripe package instead.

Released in September 2002 and produced until August 2004 (with a Series II released in August 2003), the VY series was the first major design departure (both inside and out) of the third generation Commodore range released in August 1997.Unusually, the VY also introduced a limited edition SS wagon featuring the same 235 kW (315 hp) V8 (upgraded to 245 kW or 329 hp for Series II), body kit and sports suspension as the SS sedan. However, it was equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels as opposed to the 18-inch wheels on the sedan. 500 such wagons were produced for Series I, and 350 for Series II. The SS was the flagship sports model of the VY range.
This VY SS is not your average VY SS!! Fitted with a six litre Chev engine from a later model VE Commodore and packing some serious punch. The engine features a hydraulic roller cam, 90mm throttle body, MSD ignition system, brand new pistons, rods and the standard ECU has been tuned to match. Transmission has been built by Craigs Automatic Transmissions to suit also with a 4000 converter. Finished in subtle Heron White with original great cloth interior. Has only travelled just over 112,000 kilometers. Featuring the ever so popular FR Simmons wheels in matt black that really set this car off nicely. The car has blasted down the quarter mile at a best of 11.2 seconds at 122mph. For more information on this car do not hesitate to contact Muscle Car Warehouse today!!
