Random # 264: XB Falcon
I reckon the best way to refer to this magnificent XB Falcon is to call it GT-themed, as the paint scheme, colour-coded bumpers, driving lights built into the grille, Bathurst Globe wheels, GT-style petrol cap and adjustable boot spoiler are all very GT. However, there's not a single GT badge on the car and it doesn't have a three-spoke steering wheel, as available on the GT and GS lines, either, so it doesn't seem to be intended as a full-on replica. There aren't any clues as to what donk's been fitted; it could be a 351, 308 or even a six (but I doubt it!). It's running rear drums (not sure if all GTs featured four wheel discs or not, though). The bucket seats and centre console surrounding its T-bar auto-shifter suggest that it may be a Fairmont. Either way, whoever owns it is no pretender (w⚓) and knows that he or she's got a great looking car in its own right. And good on 'em for that!
