Dingo5162 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 OK Jonathan, you can put me down for this build even though I'm doing it in the Gumball Rally as well I think I can get it up and running in this one also. I will be building an Australian Ford Falcon XT GT sedan. All I have to do now is aquire a Ford Mustang for the chassis & running gear and get the dash from a local aftermarket maker and it's go.

martinfan5 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Dingo, you got it mate, cool I cant wait to see this one built, nice to have a ford from down under in here . What year is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo5162 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Jonathan, the XT Falcon is a 1968-69 model had a 302 Windors putting out 230hp. I haven't worked out a colour for it yet but likely to go with plum crazy which was a Ford Australia colour and used on GT's back then, in the time of the Oz GT there where 6 different years of GT's and 3 specials made, for a while I had an XY GT which was claimed as the fastest 4 door production car made and only 200 were built but now there are many fake XY GT & GTHO's around but they R built from Falcon 500 sedans and U can't buy one for less than $30,000Aust which is crazy, to buy an original if U can find one would set U back a cool $1 million for any of them. So that's a bit about my model and my real car hope U liked it. Dingo Edited February 14, 2012 by Dingo5162 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
