Short answer is they don't mean much at all.
Seriously....
As the Cobra was a '66 I went 8888
66 and was then told that the 8's are lucky numbers particularly in China.
The XR 8 ute was a good option to get the 888 again so I tried for XR008 and XR888 and they were gone. I just re typed in
XR0888 and it was available.
I went for the 8's again with the GT40 and just copied the Cobra number - which is now on my other work ute. The Gt 40 number is 8888
40.
So hope all the 8's which are V8 numbers are lucky.
Incidently my wife was give 330888 for her 330 convertible by my kids.
Mmmm..

..perhaps lucky.

I'm into numbers even my mobile phone number ends in 56444
8 - now bet you cannot work out what that number combination is.
I'll buy lunch at the next car for anyone who can work out
the significance of that number...
