$120,000 | 670HP
Blending old school Aussie muscle with modern race bred firepower, this 1968 XT Falcon Ute is a street and strip weapon with serious pedigree. Under the reverse cowl bonnet lurks a Dart Block Windsor punched out to 427ci, crowned with Flowcraft ported AFR 225s and a Holley 950 Ultra HP. It cranks out a dyno proven 670hp and 560ft-lb, channeled through an MDT built C10 with transbrake, 5000 TCI converter, and a sheet metal 9 inch running 4.3 gears and billet 31 spline axles.
The suspension is all business, with CalTracs and Calvert shocks out back, 90/10s up front, and Wilwoods to bring the noise to a halt.
It’s good for a 10.4@131mph pass, riding on Weld V-Series beadlocks or Alumastars, depending on the day. A full rewire, fresh GT-style black retrim, and subtle body mods finish it off, all wrapped in Vermilion Fire.
Not just a bruiser, this Ute’s a looker too, with multiple Geelong Ford Day wins, a Street Machine feature, and even a SMOTY nomination.
It’s not just built to go fast, it’s built to be remembered.
