Australian Ford Falcon XB GT ( Genuine JG66 ) in New York

1975 Australian Ford Falcon XB GT taped at the house in Saugerties, NY, with the Catskill Mountains ( Platte Clove Mt. to be exact ) serving as a back drop. Before anyone complains, there are MAYBE 100 Australian Falcons in the country...

A total of 949 XB GT coupes were manufactured, with only 123 being produced in 1975. This particular, genuine JG66, Aussie GT Falcon was imported by the owner in January of 2000 and has been located in New York ever since. There are a few minor modifications made, such as the Hurst shifter ( notice the left hand grip ) and the XY GT boot emblem, placed there in an attempt to quill questions of the type of car it is by Americans not familiar with the model. The chrome bumpers on this GT were factory option that the original owner selected and was comfirmed by Ford Australia.

show the taco :) anyone notice chrome bumpers?

[scar2783]

@wertpollwert Much like the factory optioned sunroof, A/C, rear defrost, etc... on this car, so were the chrome bumpers that the original owner choose.

Would it be possible to "clone" a falcon from a gran torino ? I know the rear sail panels and C pillar are different so do the aussies repop the sheetmetal an body panels for the falcons? Or are the parts as rare as the cars?

[scar2783]

@DIMEBAGJIMMY426 There are a few companies the repo some sheet metal but not many. Might not even be offering anymore.
