This fully restored 1974 Ford XB Falcon Hardtop 429 Stroker was stripped to bare metal in 2011, with all rust removed and replaced.
The replacement panels were actually sourced from a Mercedes-Benz 560SL as it was the same gauge metal and better quality than anything new at the time. The car is fitted with a GT style vented bonnet with bonnet pins.
The car was painted using Glasurit and has been flow coated in three coats of clear for a deep lustre; the unique Coca-Cola custom is based off Mercedes Obsidian Black with a very slight red/brown pearl in the light.
Open the door and you will find a refinished interior to match the exterior. The inside has been trimmed to factory GT specs in black vinyl by Reservoir Motor trimmers in Melbourne.
Under the bonnet, you will find a tough built 429ci Cleveland V8 engine built by Powerheads Engineering in the USA in 2013.
The engine started with an American Cleveland block and features custom internal forged internals, and custom heads from Powerheads, custom high-lift hydraulic roller cam, stainless-steel roller rockers, Ferrea valves, CHI manifold, MSD ignition and Ultra 950 cfm Holley carburettor.
