Good Morning all. This is a photo of my Apollo Blue 1974 XB Falcon G.T. I have had it for about four years now. Lets see if the photo attaches this time.

love it !!!!!!!!!!! reminds me of my old XB ...sniff.. never should have got rid of it .....
what did your beast run ???

smciner1 · 09-05-2001, 14:24

The day the photo was taken it ran 15.4 @ 90 mph in very standard trim with very slippery tyres.
Best time to date is 14.8 @ 95 mph.
I hope to go again soon as we have modified the ignition system and fitted a set of extractors.
I also do a few circuit sprints with it which are great fun. Our club (Falcon G.T. Club of Geelong Inc.) has raced at Phillip Island, Winton and Calder. All things being equal, we will be racing at Winton in a few weeks.

Just look for the starlight blue XW GT with the NOS BOSS motor (not mine, i wish) or the diamond white XY GS with the fattest 12 slotters youve ever seen, and youve found ME.
