This is my 1971 XY Falcon 500 cruiser.

I built it up many moons ago and I’m getting ready to change its appearance or at least thinking about it by reducing the GT look a bit and adding a few period correct aftermarket cosmetics.

I’d like it to look like some of the cars I knew of back in the ‘70’s

It a 351 Cleveland, top loader and 9 inch, not much more to say really as the pics do that.

Well, I dunno what you want to do to make it more like a car of the 70's because it sure looks to me like the 70's cars I remember.

Nice unit.
