Description
The '73 Ford Falcon XB is a Sports coupe produced by Ford's Australian division starting in late 1973. The XB Falcon is often considered to be one of Australia's most prominent classic cars and was the flagship car in the 'Mad Max' film series from the late 1970s and the 1980s. Less than 950 GT 351 Coupe versions rolled off the assembly lines, making the XB GT coupe exceedingly rare.
The Hot Wheels casting portrays the rare 1973 GT 351 Coupe of the XB Falcon, which was only produced from September to approximately December of 1973.
Hot Wheels replicated in 2012 a modern Ford Performance Vehicles GT335 which is the 5.0L V8 motorsport version of the modern Australian Ford Falcon. This casting is Right-Hand Drive, as is the Standard for Australian-market vehicles.
