1974 Ford Falcon XB Ute This is the pickup (Utility, or Ute) version of Mad Max's Interceptor coupe. Similar in size and concept to a US-market Ranchero, but much more stylish and quite aggressive looking. This car draws a huge amount of attention - very few people in the US have ever laid eyes on one of these, but everyone loves the look. Check out Eric Bana's Falcon XB by searching "Love The Beast" on Youtube. It is equipped with a strong 302 V8, 4 speed manual transmission, and right hand drive. It also has the GS roadwheels, "NASA" bonnet w/bonnet locks, rally grill with Hella foglights, bucket seats, console with floor shifter, special stripe package, etc. Power steering, power disc brakes and air conditioning. The A/C is not working but every component is there. Painted in the very cool '70's Tropicana Green metallic. Nice high quality tonneau cover for the bed, and the cool "Col Paige Ford SuperDog" decal in the back window and "Super Roo" decals on the fenders. The engine is a 302 cu. in. Cleveland which is similar to a 351 but destroked by Ford. Most parts are interchangeable with the 351. The engine has a performance cam with a slight but noticeable lope, and the exhaust note is spectacular! This is an unrestored car that would either make a very fun daily driver, or a great basis for taking it to the next level. Has some cosmetic paint and upholstery issues. Some rocker and lower front fender rust. Restoration parts are easy to get for these online from various sources. A workshop manual and some spare parts are included. It would certainly cost a LOT more than my reserve price to locate & purchase one of these in Australia and import it yourself. If you ever dreamed of owning one of these, this will be your best opportunity to get one at an affordable price, and with the right options. There won't be much opportunity to comparison shop with something as rare as this. This one is already here in the US, and is legally titled so you can see it and drive it (without all the expense and trauma of buying something half way around the world sight unseen). I have some new toys on the way, and need to make space quickly. I have placed the reserve very low, and I would not be a bit surprised if this car goes back to Australia. I am happy to assist in shipping this anywhere in the world and welcome international bidders to take part in this auction. Terms: No claims are made that this car is new. Expect typical wear on cars of this age and mileage. Seller has described the above-mentioned vehicle to the best of his ability.
