    1969 XWGT
    1970 XYGT
    1972 XAGT

    i thought the surferoo was a concept ute ford brought out in the early 70's based on an XY ute, painted bright yellow with a massive rear spoiler with all this decking and such in the back

    it was another teaser model ford showed to gauge public interest. they did the same before reintroducing the mustang. 227kw was pretty good for its time though, just more than the XB and better than the EB's 192kw

    the EB was quite a good car it got rated better then holdens quicker VN groupA they tested it at the you yangs in motor and they quoted the holden at 250 and the ford at 230 the holden went 230 and the ford went 225 and it wasnt run in yet they rated the EB much higer then the groupA SS as well.

    id be unhappy too 60k worth of car and it didnt live up to what they said although it coul do what they said with its limited power and ford did have a full recalls of the vehicals and they corrected the issues. (this was heard via grapvine from some reliable sources)
