Default New Car, Ford Falcon 1978 XC 250 3 Speed

Here's a quick description of it.....

It's a Ford 1978 Falcon XC in Yellow. Fitted with a 4.1 Inline Six, running a 3 speed manual column shift, has headers and a few other things done.

Only done 102,000km's that check out, drives perfectly. Amazing low millage, has been sitting around for years in storage during a couple of stages in its life.

Body is in very straight condition, no rust and no previous crash repairs.

Interior is in top order, has front Fairmont seats fitted rather than a bench seat

Wheels are 14" x 8" Tridents.

Here are the pictures, sorry they aren't the best but tell me what you think!

Plan is for a 302 or 351w with a 5 speed manual in the new year.

Great find! Looks like it's in nice shape. Will it be hard to fit the 5 spd transmission considering it currently has the "3 on the tree" set up? I guess you'll have to cut the floor? Regardless, you can turn that thing into a real sleeper!
