1982 Ford Fairmont Ghia XE Spanmor Coupe

Well it's been years since we've added one of these to the register - an XE Falcon coupe.. This is a 2-door conversion which was undertaken by a company called Spanmor which use to operate in Melbourne, traditionally specialising in hearses, stretched limos and medical applications. Several of these coupes have been spotted over the years, and we would love to know more about them, and at this stage all we know is that there was a plan to build 100 of them, but actual numbers fell way short of this. Interestingly, they were sold through Ford dealers, despite not being factory Ford built. The cars were quite well built. A lot of effort was put into them, including extending the front doors by 30cm, and matching the side and roof interior trim soecific to this model. 

We've seen images of a 3rd car out there, but no idea how many there actually were. This example looks well used - bids over $30K AUD on Graysonline, reserve not met - Grays have so many great batches of ultra rare cars come up.. Wish I had the cash and space for this project!
