This is my toy CLEVO8's 1970 Ford Falcon, I purchased the car back in 2001 from Queensland (I could not find any good examples in Victoria at that time). I had it trucked down and found out shortly after that the engine needed a rebuild and decomping(the guy, I bought it off told me that it ran on pump fuel. it pinged it's head off) and the brass button clutch was buggered, so I started a 2 month rebuild (so I thought, it took around 11 months) and found that all I could reuse from the original engine was the crank, water pump & bare heads, I could not even reuse the original block (all the ports where oval). After I got it back on the road I found all the stress of the build was worth it.

Here is a run down of the mod's I have added to the car.
It is a 1970 XY Falcon, done up as a GT, it has all GT options (dash, wheel, fuel cap, original shaker, radiator & so on)

Nice machine Grant. Was the body in good nick when you bought it, or did you need to do some work? My XY is in the process of being restored. Check it out if you like. Regards, Mark.

Nice. My Dad had one of the last GTHOs with Clevelands in a blue a bit darker than yours. Sweet cars, 5 stars.
