1974 Ford XB GS Falcon 500
1974 Ford XB Falcon GS 500 four-door sedan finished in Copper Bronze. Genuine factory GS, numbers-matching car with Ford Australia verification letter. Rear-wheel drive powered by a 302ci (4.9-litre) Cleveland V8 petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission. Odometer indicating 16,069 miles.
Description / Overview:
This one is something special. A genuine factory GS Falcon 500 with Option 48 Rallye Pack, Ford verification letter in hand, and production figures that put it as the only example built to this exact specification. The Copper Bronze over Saddle combination is confirmed across all three VIN stamp locations, and the matching Brian Wood Ford dealer sticker in the boot lines up with the Ford records. You do not find provenance like this very often on an XB.
The car is in second-owner hands after six years with the current custodian. The interior is remarkably original with the correct wood-rim GS steering wheel, factory Saddle vinyl trim, original Ford Super Fringe AM radio, and column-auto selector all intact. Paint has the depth of a quality older respray rather than a fresh job, and the GS stripes are correctly positioned and sharp. A full suspension rebuild including brake calipers, rear drums and master cylinder has been completed.
Supplied with the original service manual, owner's manual, Ford sales brochure, factory hang tags, and the Ford Heritage Certificate. The charging system warning light was illuminated at the time of photography and should be investigated before auction day. Contact Gavin on 0455 500 400 for a pre-bid inspection or virtual walkthrough.
