A true Australian muscle car, this 1973 Ford XA Fairmont GS is a head-turning classic that has undergone a painstaking full metal and paint restoration by Indy Kustoms. Finished in its original Cosmic Blue with White Trim, this car is not just a showpiece—it’s a performance machine built to be driven. According to the Ford letter, this car was delivered new in 1973 to Parramatta Ford, though it was not originally listed with GS options and was originally a T-bar auto car. Engine & Performance • 351ci Cleveland V8 (stroked from original 302ci) – built by Ned at Hercules Motors, a renowned name in drag racing. • 350hp @ 5,600rpm & 360 lb/ft torque – serious power with streetable drivability. • Less than 30,000 miles since rebuild & just serviced – ready to enjoy. • Ported 2V heads with 4V intake valves for maximum efficiency. • Roller rockers, Crow cam & hardened valve seats – built to last. • Weiand X-Celerator high-rise single-plane manifold with a Holley 600 Vac Sec carb (aggressive secondary tuning for response). • GM Electronic Ignition – better throttle response, fuel efficiency & cold starts. • New custom stainless steel exhaust system & headers by Rowville Exhausts – the best in the business. Drivetrain & Suspension • Toploader 4-speed manual – rock-solid shifting for a true driver’s experience. • 9” diff with 3.25 ratio – the perfect balance of highway cruising and acceleration. • Bilstein shocks, HD anti-sway bars, nylon bushes – handles like a dream. • Lowered 2” front & 2” rear for an aggressive stance. • Brand-new tail shaft for smooth power delivery. Wheels & Brakes • 15x8 Bathurst Globe wheels (gold) with Yokohama rubber – period-correct muscle car stance. • Heavy-duty taxi-spec rear brake shoes – superior stopping power.
