解説1975 Ford XB Falcon Hardtop Race car (23438856661).jpg
Blaze Blue.
The XB Falcon was built from Sept 1973- July 1976.
The XA got a facelift in 1973; the XB was introduced, it got a more pronounced nose due to the reworking of the bonnet. It also got a divided honeycomb grille, more conventional taillights and new bumpers. The 2 door Hardtop was still available and the GT got new hood scoops, the design reminiscent of the 1971-73 U.S. Mustang, the GT badges were gone and replaced by GT351 decals on the guards and boot.
XB Falcons still featured in the Australian Manufacturers Championship. After the win at Bathurst in 1974, John Goss and Kevin Bartlett teamed up again in 1975 in the new XB Falcon, ten laps in, the 351 let go and that is as far as they went that year. John continued competing in the car for the next 3 years. Moffat used the car in some championship rounds in 1976 after his race car was destroyed in a fire
