1966 Ford Falcon XP Deluxe Utility - Blue Patina - 114,166km - Pursuit 170, Auto, Retrimmed Interior
1966 Ford Falcon XP Deluxe single cab utility finished in blue with natural patina finish. Pursuit 170 inline six-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, odometer indicating 114,166 kilometres. Seating for two.
Description
The XP Falcon is one of the most beloved shapes from the early Australian Ford era, and this Deluxe utility has been given a character-packed patina treatment that celebrates its 60 years of history rather than hiding them. The original teal blue-green paint has been allowed to age naturally, blending into rich brown and maroon tones across the body, then sealed to preserve the look. Hand-painted "Merc Homes Building Since 1986" signwriting on the driver's door adds authentic vintage commercial vehicle charm. The result is a ute that looks like it has a thousand stories to tell.
Under the bonnet sits the Pursuit 170 cubic inch inline six, Ford Australia's sportier engine option for the XP range. It is paired with a column-shift automatic transmission for easy driving. The engine bay presents in honest, working condition with the factory-style blue air cleaner and blue rocker cover. A battery isolator switch has been fitted for safety. Inside, the cabin has been extensively retrimmed in tan leather or vinyl to a high standard. Custom bucket seats with a matching centre console replace the original bench, and a modern touchscreen head unit has been discreetly installed alongside the retained original Ford AM radio and factory dashboard controls. The original ivory steering wheel with chrome horn ring is a lovely period touch. A timber-floored tray with chrome edge trim and a vintage metal toolbox complete the working-ute aesthetic. White-painted steel wheels with whitewall tyres finish the look perfectly.
XP Falcon utilities in any condition continue to appreciate as supply dwindles. Patina-style builds have developed a strong following and this one has been done with real thought, balancing authentic character with genuine usability. The retrimmed interior, functioning drivetrain, and strong visual presence make this a standout entry in the vintage ute category.
