The original motor was fitted with an electric choke 600 Holley. Weiand X-cellator Manifold and Pacemaker Extractors approx 10k kms ago. Is also received a new twin exhaust with GT tips. Ford Racing rocker covers and air cleaner were fitted also. The standard 2 barrel air cleaner and rocker covers have been kept and will go with the car. Around this time the brakes we overhauled and the front end freshened up with new springs. pitman/idler arm. spring saddles. etc. While the standard radio is still in place. a Clarion head unit has been fitted inside the glove box with an Amp and 'top of the line' MB Quart speakers and Rockford Fosgate Subwoofer. This system cost almost 3k when fitted. The Coupe has been garaged all its life and whilst it does have some blemishes it's as close to rust free/unmolested as you'll find in a XB Coupe that hasn't been restored. Please study photos carefully as they form part of the description and more photos are available on request. Whilst this Coupe is no show car. it is far from a rusted wreck you typically see. You can jump in this car anytime and go cruising. It just recently completed a drive from northern NSW and didn't miss a beat. Make no mistake though. she is tired and does need some love. The interior is still completely original but in fair to poor condition.  Basically this car is a time capsule and has barely changed since it left the factory in 1976. It's still full road registered in QLD and still carries it original plates. The car was purchased with a view to restoring it and turning it in the the 'Coupe' that i dreamed of. But after I purchased the car and did some research. I came to fully appreciate the originality and the history of the car and realised only a fool would tamper with it.  The are only original ONCE!Please see link to Youtube video for a 'walk around'.
