This shape of Ford has become a firm favourite with collectors who are looking for that seventies vibe.
Our online feature on the series notes: “The XB represented a progression for the Jack Telnack-inspired series, with most of the effort put into making it easy to discern it from an XA. The snout was sharpened with the indicators moved off the outer edges, bonnet scoops for the upscale models were much more pronounced, while the GTs now scored colour-coded bumpers – though chrome was still available as an option. Plus there was a new grille split into two cells with a honeycomb mesh.”
This Falcon has a very long list of upgrades. It includes a 351 V8 stroked to 408ci, matched to a four-speed Toploader manual transmission and 9-inch diff.
The original engine is also sold with the car.
Prestige Motor Gallery in Sydney has it on the market for $159,990.
