1974 Ford XB Falcon 500 GT Tribute Sedan - Red Pepper - 1,284 Miles* - 351 Cleveland V8, 4-Speed Manual, Show-Quality Engine Bay
1974 Ford XB Falcon 500 GT Tribute sedan finished in Red Pepper with black interior. 351 Cleveland V8 (5.8L), 4-speed manual, rear wheel drive, odometer indicating 1,284 miles (unverified). Seating for five.
Description
The XB Falcon GT is the car that launched a thousand dreams and a movie franchise. While genuine GTs command prices north of $200,000, a properly built tribute like this one delivers the same visceral experience for a fraction of the cost, and this example has been built to a standard that commands serious attention.
Starting with what matters most, the 351 Cleveland V8 sits in a show-quality engine bay. The block and heads are finished in Ford blue with a matching blue "351 HIGH PERFORMANCE" air cleaner. The inner guards, firewall, and bonnet underside are all finished in matching Red Pepper. A Motorcraft radiator sticker and Ford emissions compliance label are present on the inner guard. The presentation is clean, detailed, and clearly the work of someone who takes pride in their build. Originally a G-code 302ci car per the chassis number, the 351 Cleveland upgrade and 4-speed manual conversion give this sedan the driving experience a GT tribute demands.
The exterior is exceptional. Red Pepper paint holds deep, consistent gloss across every panel with no visible orange peel, fade, or colour mismatch. The black GT-style side stripes run the length of the car. Black vinyl door mirrors, chrome bumpers, chrome window surrounds, and the "FORD" lettering across the rear panel are all in excellent condition. The rear features dual exhaust tips exiting below the bumper. Aftermarket multi-spoke alloy wheels are fitted with BF Goodrich Radial T/A tyres. Inside, the black vinyl interior presents cleanly with good door cards across all four doors, a centre console with factory radio, woodgrain dash insert, and factory HVAC controls. The floor-mounted 4-speed shifter sits in a clean console surround.
XB Falcon GT Tributes built to this standard do not come along often. The combination of a 351 Cleveland, 4-speed manual, immaculate Red Pepper paint, and a show-quality engine bay makes this one of the standout lots in this auction. At $31,001 at time of review, there is significant room to run.
