Even an expert assessing this cabin could conclude that it belongs to a fake XY completed with a range of XA parts, a premise soon backed up by the car’s XT or XA model ID code. Ford built up to 9000 XY vans and utes from January to October 1972 featuring a range of 1972 ADR parts similar to certain XA bits. The problems can soon escalate as there are no records to specifically identify these vehicles as XYs. (Photo from fordmusclecarsales.com.au)
In a bizarre twist of events, almost 9,000 XY Falcons disappeared from local records ready to generate registration and insurance problems for current owners then legal action once sold.
Imagine you purchased a much-loved XY Falcon when new then took it off the road until you had the time and money to restore it. After spending tens of thousands on a top restoration, you were told it couldn’t be registered or insured as it doesn’t exist.
