1974 Ford XA Fairmont 351 Coupe - Black - 253,290km - 351 Windsor V8, 4-Speed Manual
Overview
This 1974 Ford XA Fairmont Coupe represents one of Australia's most iconic muscle car platforms. Powered by the legendary 351 Windsor V8 and paired with a single rail 4-speed manual transmission, this genuine Australian-delivered right-hand drive coupe delivers the classic V8 performance and driving engagement enthusiasts seek. Showing 253,290 kilometres on the odometer, this example has been enjoyed and thoughtfully upgraded with a number of performance enhancements while retaining its unmistakable period character.
The black exterior presents with good depth and gloss across all visible panels. Paint quality is consistent, with minor stone chipping visible on the bonnet leading edge, typical of a vehicle with genuine road history. Panel alignment is straight and gaps are even, indicating no major accident repair. The coupe profile is clean and purposeful, with the characteristic long bonnet and short rear deck that defined the XA generation. The vehicle is fitted with the desirable "Horn Car" body kit and rear spoiler, with the vendor advising this was a period dealer-fitted accessory package available through participating Ford dealerships. Period-style alloy wheels complement the vehicle's muscular stance.
Mechanically, the vehicle has been upgraded with a number of performance components. The vendor advises it is fitted with a performance camshaft, high-volume oil sump, Holley 600cfm vacuum secondary carburettor with electric choke, fuel pressure regulator, electric thermo fans, kill switch and a brake booster refurbished in 2022. These enhancements complement the proven 351 Windsor V8 while maintaining the classic appeal of the vehicle. The single rail 4-speed manual transmission provides an engaging driving experience and remains a favourite amongst Ford enthusiasts.
Condition
The vehicle presents in honest condition with cosmetic wear consistent with its age and use. Exterior paint retains good gloss with minor stone chips and light imperfections typical of a classic vehicle. The cream and black interior displays wear consistent with age, while retaining its original character. Buyers are encouraged to inspect the vehicle to satisfy themselves as to its cosmetic, mechanical and overall condition prior to bidding.
