An impressive 1974 Ford Falcon XB GT is currently looking for a new home in Australia with a AU$92,500 (US$64,300) price tag.
Ford introduced the XB-generation Falcon for the Aussie market in 1973 and built it for a touch under three years. A multitude of variants were offered and the GT sedan, like this example, was one of the most desirable.

The Ford Falcon XB GT was sold in both sedan and Coupe guises, both outfitted with a 351 cubic-inch Cleveland V8 churning out 300 hp and 380 lb-ft (515 Nm) of torque – serious figures for a car more than 45 years old.
This particular GT sedan for sale from Australian Muscle Car Sales has been stroked out to 408 cubic-inches, includes roller rockers, an aluminum intake manifold, new aluminum radiator, 4-into-1 extractors and puts out 529 HP. This grunt is sent to the rear wheels via a Top Loader four-speed transmission and a limited-slip differential.
Helping the car stand out is a Deep Aqua paint scheme, making it one of just 11 examples painted this shade. Prior to hitting the market, the car’s power steering, suspension, braking, and exhaust systems were all refreshed. It has a total of 254,000 km (157,828 miles) on the clock and sits on a new set of 15×7-inch Bathurst Globe wheels with red wall tires.
Despite the relatively high mileage, the car appears to be in very good condition and has clearly been well maintained.
