Absolutely Amazing 1974 Ford Falcon XB GT Sedan
New to our Pleasanton showroom is this 1974 Ford Falcon XB GT 4 Door Sedan with Metallic Mulberry exterior paint, a grey racing stripe and a white vinyl interior. It is a right hand drive example from Australia with a factory 351 cid Cleveland V-8 engine and an automatic transmission, with power front disc brakes and many other original accessories. This amazing classic is a true survivor as well with 28,235 miles showing on the odometer.
All-Original Australian Right-Hand Drive Example
In terms of condition, this 1974 Ford Falcon XB GT 4 Door Sedan is an average driver with some minor imperfections in the exterior paint. The interior seating also has some tears in it but it’s all original, so the next owner will have a tough decision on their hands whether to fully restore it or enjoy it as-is. It is a three-owner classic that was brought to the United States in 2001, and to the best of our knowledge the drivetrain has never been rebuilt.
Additionally, this 1974 Ford Falcon XB GT Sedan runs like a champ on the open road with smooth handling and nice acceleration. The 351 Cleveland sound strong as well so this one doesn’t need anything to be enjoyed as an average driver today.
A Tremendous Numbers-Matching Survivor
Overall, this 1974 Ford Falcon XB GT Sedan is one of the most impressive survivors that we’ve seen in years. It would make a great daily driver today or an awesome candidate for a complete restoration. This outstanding example could be the pinnacle of any serious collection, so don’t let it slip by! For more information about this impressive vehicle, visit our Pleasanton, California showroom, give us a call at 925-484-2262, or email us at Sales@SpecialtySales.com.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
