Description
The XB Falcon GT is the car that defined a generation and launched a movie franchise. Genuine GTs now command north of $200,000 and rising, which makes a properly executed tribute like this one genuinely compelling. This is not a rushed mock-up. It is a built-to-standard GT tribute that starts with what matters most: a 351 Cleveland V8 sitting in a show-quality engine bay, finished in matching Red Pepper with blue-painted block and heads, a "351 HIGH PERFORMANCE" air cleaner, Motorcraft radiator sticker, and a Ford emissions compliance label on the inner guard. Originally a G-code 200ci car per the body tag, the 351 Cleveland upgrade and 4-speed manual conversion give this sedan the driving experience the tribute demands. That engine bay presentation alone puts this ahead of most tribute builds you will see.
The exterior is exceptional. Red Pepper paint holds deep, consistent gloss across every panel with no visible orange peel, fade, or colour mismatch between panels. Full GT blackout treatment is applied throughout, including colour-coded bumpers, blacked window surrounds, dual door mirrors, and the "FORD" lettering across the rear panel. Aftermarket 15-inch Globe-style alloy wheels are fitted with BF Goodrich Radial T/A tyres in near-new condition, consistent with the very low indicated mileage. Dual GT square exhaust tips exit below the rear bumper. From any angle this car reads as a complete, cohesive GT build rather than a parts-bin tribute. Inside, the black vinyl interior presents to XB GT specification throughout, with correct seat and door trim, a 7k/240kph dash, good door cards across all four doors, a centre console with factory-style radio, factory air conditioning, chrome 1974-spec seatbelt buckles, a woodgrain dash insert, and a floor-mounted 4-speed shifter in a clean console surround.
XB GT tributes built to this standard of execution are genuinely rare. Genuine GTs are out of reach for most buyers at current market pricing. A tribute of this calibre delivers the same Red Pepper, 351 Cleveland, 4-speed experience for a fraction of the cost, and this example has been completed with real pride. The owner's manual is included. Bid with confidence.
