A GT Falcon in California.
Our friend in San Francisco, Maxichamp, found an XB GT coupe over there and the owner took him for a ride. He survived the experience and was impressed enough to take this series of photos.
Victorian number plates.

That is a seriously nice body and paint work. Those Globes look great at those widths. It takes quite a bit to fill those rear guards! Thanks for posting 'em, John
And given the amount of yellow visible around the ID tags and in the engine bay it comes as no surprise it left the factory Yellow Blaze in colour (Code M) with black trim (Trim Code B) per the ID tags. Built at Broadmeadows in 1976, Month in VIN states March 1976 yet stamp states 4/76 so may have come down the line on nightshift 31 March and tagged April 1. Hope the guy didn't pay GT prices for it although it is a good looking coupe - great external paint pity the under bonnet area is rat shit. Col

According to the ID Plates it left the factory as a 302V8 with 4 speed Falcon 500 Coupe. Is not a GT. Col
