Ford Falcon 2001

For sale is my 2001 Ford Falcon AU Series III XR8, finished in factory red with black leather interior and a factory 5-speed manual transmission.

This is a genuine 240kW Herrod-enhanced XR8, with the Herrod performance conversion fitted when the vehicle was new.

Unlike many modified XR8s, this car features an extensive range of period Herrod upgrades covering the engine, suspension and exterior styling.

The car drives with the character you would expect from a cammed 5.0L Windsor V8, complemented by the factory manual transmission and performance herrod exhaust.

The AU Series III represents the final evolution of the AU Falcon and the end of the Windsor-powered XR8 era.

With its new-car Herrod conversion, manual transmission, performance suspension and distinctive Herrod body enhancements, this is a particularly interesting example for a Ford enthusiast or collector.
