1970 Ford XW Fairmont 302 V8 Sedan

In mid-1969 Ford released a new range of Falcons and Fairmonts, codenamed the XW in Blue Oval parlance with new front and rear sheet metal on what was otherwise a largely unchanged body from the XR/XT model. The basic Falcon and Falcon 500 models were joined by a newcomer known as the Futura, which sat between the Falcons and the top of the range Fairmont featured here. Ford continued with the smaller sixes but buyers seeking more performance usually chose the optional 302-cid V8. The XW range brought with it a host of improvements across the board, including a new dashboard with collapsible steering column and the luxurious Fairmont was equipped with Kelsey-Hayes internally-ventilated front disc brakes.
