Vehicle Overview

This 1974 Ford Falcon XB Ute combines the practical appeal of an Australian utility with the character of a genuine factory V8. Its matching-numbers 302 V8 gives the vehicle particular significance, while the Walnut Glow exterior and black interior create a distinctive period colour combination.

The XB has undergone a light restoration and presents as a tidy, genuine example. Its mechanical preparation includes a fully reconditioned automatic transmission with a new torque converter, along with a new twin exhaust system, extractors and tyres. The engine has received new gaskets throughout, plus a new water pump and sump. The previous owner also advised that the engine was rebuilt some years ago.

Power steering adds everyday usability to the classic ute format, making the Falcon easier to place at low speeds and more relaxed to manoeuvre than an unassisted contemporary performance vehicle. The automatic transmission similarly suits the vehicle's broad-ranging role, whether it is being enjoyed on a weekend drive or displayed as part of a classic collection.

The cabin has been extensively refreshed rather than simply preserved. Reupholstered seats are complemented by new door trims, carpet and roof lining, while the rear parcel area behind the seats has also been renewed. A new windscreen completes the interior and presentation work, giving the cabin a cleaner and more finished feel.

With 70,889 kilometres displayed on the vehicle's odometer, this XB Ute represents a period Ford with meaningful mechanical and cosmetic work already completed. Its combination of factory V8 identity, matching numbers, automatic transmission, power steering and utility body style makes it a distinctive example of the Australian Falcon tradition.
