1980 Ford Falcon XD (ESP Option)

Lovely example of a well restored and ultra-rare 6-cylinder XD ESP. This example is the falcon GL (before the ESP option was only available on the Fairmont Ghia, in the XE variant).

This was spotted on Ebay Australia in December 2021, asking $38,500 AUD (starting bid). See the original ad here.
