In the late '60's my sister was going out with a guy who drove an XR GT.
Talking one day, he pops the bonnet to reveal twin 4 barrel holleys.
Car had been purchased, by his dad who worked at Broadmeadows, and was ex factory.

Will get some pics next time I see it if I'm quick enough...
It would be an american Falcon Sports Coupe, shipped over here and converted.

There's more than a few in the country.

It is a daily driver

That must be one of the US Falcons coupes we never had here.

For those that aren't aware, this is a 1966 US Falcon coupe.

I'm pretty John Taverna has a sports coupé done up like a white XT GT. I see it all the time around my area.

My god, there is still a chance for me to buy a brand new VN.

VNs are Horn.
