You rarely see XA's and XB's on the street these days, really nice to see a super clean one like this getting used properly and not hidden away in a garage under a car cover.

@bennuballbags2 11 ай бұрын

Omg id be petrified of it being stolen! I mean they are worth as much as Ferraris and are a hell of a lot rarer! Mate these cars are art! And I would only drive it under police guard in some spots!

Looks Very Nice. Hard to go past an XAGT Coupe, my favourite Aussie Muscle Car. I agree with others about the wheels, too big diameter wise for me. Must be the lighting but it doesn't look Track Red to me, the XY colour, Red Pepper from memory was the XA colour, looks more like that. The GT had the moulding along the top of the door and side window, just finishes it off a bit better, and what a pity it's an auto, a Muscle Car needs a manual. A 6 speed Tremec would do just nicely I think.

Thanks for the info regarding early 60s Chevy cars in Australia. Also, I really like the looks of the two door XA and XB Falcolns. Do you happen to know if these cars shared any sheet metal in common with the US 1971 Ford Torino? To my inexpert eye both the roof line and the window line look very similar to the 71 Torino, and I'm wondering if the side panels are the same as the Torino?
