Would you pay $4297.00 for a Ford Muscle Car BBQ?

[FestivaFan]

Interesting concept, I would rather pay that much for the whole car though!

Do you think they would throw in some FREE steaks at that price

[smokiebbear]

I've seen a GTS monaro one of them, damn fools it's bad enough that the parts are becoming harder and harder to find let alone chopping into a barby. And the price they are askin for these things :

p.s this is based on the fact it looks like they have used origional parts

[MITCHAY]

How good is the steak on that baby!

[ThoR_]

Nah i wouldnt and if its real they need to be shot

[Zed7fiddy]

XW = no shaker.

I'd be too concerned about oil splatter on the guards and the bonnet. I wonder how well the paint would hold up and how hard wopuld it be to keep clean. For $4300, I'd want a few guarantees

[Road Games]

Well Well look at that .... A real Fire breathing engine bay ? I,d buy one ! All our friends are H@%!$n Lovers,might stop em freeloading for a while , just needs guard protectors.......

if you go to the website festivafan provided you will find out that they use 'fully restored original panels, parts and chromework' (qouted of the site). i reckon they should be shot for useing original parts. but if they were to create their own parts for it and make it i would buy it thou

[klawsterfobik]

What else are they going to use bar original parts? The price would be a fair bit higher if they were moulding XD guards into the shape of XW ones.

The only thing that is "GT" about it is the bonnet badge (if it has one), and the stripes. The bonnet has been cut down, the guards have had the bottoms cut out of them (where they rust), rad support, grille etc is all falcon stuff.

I think it looks really good, as for heat etc, I would expect them to hold up quite well, panel steel back then was quite thick and the heat from the BBQ wouldn't be that much hotter than an engine bay. Unless you cooked with the bonnet down :P

that looks so nice... could that take bbq's to a whole new level... lol id giv it a wash n wax after each barbie...

[FPV8U]

Looks nice wouldnt pay that money though.

[smally289]

For that money you would expect it to have the right bonnet.

apparently the prototype version was a xy barbie but it cooked the meat too fast and had to be detuned to a xw model, lol.

[smally289]

Well lucky its not a Holden one, probably wouldnt start and you would have to eat your steak raw..................

[v82nv]

well mine is nearly finished just needs some paint and then all done

[v82nv]

sorry for the pic

[Tuddy200]

Sweet ^^^ And I thought I had spare time!

[Jayden]

Are you cooking the onions now?, because im crying.

[v82nv]

any ideas on the color scheme i should use

[cupic]

Yeee ha whats the time from 0-100C
shame to cook on it
masterful piece of work

[bigAl]

you can use the boss as a bbq, it has a perfect grill on the plenum

[bonspeed]

The gas strut on the bonnet is upside down.

[Nashy86]

I think I saw something like this a few years back, a holden fan had been buying old damaged panels from Skaifes HRT VX untill he had the entire front end (windscreen forward) and had them repaired & resprayed to make a bbq under the bonnet of that.
Personally I like these ones more, but wouldn't pay that price! I paid less than half that for my whole car!

[Nickxb]

waste of money if you ask me but each to their own

[v82nv]

so far it has only cost me $2500 which includes the 18" wheels with disc brakes and the frame work with hydraulic lift and panels with BBQ

[Flouro_Joe]

Everyone used to say the motor in my uncle's old kingswood was clean enough to eat off. LOL

[LUXO_8]

if i were in a position to have one i'd rather build my own.....would be more personalised then....
