Car Forum / Ford / Ford Falcon / May 2004XD Panelvans
Hello, does anyone know the difference between the Falcon, and the Falcon GL van? Does the GL have a tailgate instead of 2 doors, and also have buckets? What other extras did the GL have? cheers > Hello, does anyone know the difference between the Falcon, and the Falcon GL > van? Does the GL have a tailgate instead of 2 doors, and also have buckets? > What other extras did the GL have? > cheers The doors were an option on their own (applicable to any van-model) according to a friend who had an XD van with doors. Bench seats were only possible with the column mounted gear-selector (auto or manual) AFAIK Jason I recall Ford producing a 302 V8 van twin doors, buckets seats and 4 speed manual with a set of not bad guages and called it some weird name round about teh same time Dick Johnson had that radar detector blue XD sedan created. tho havent seen one for many years Peter > Hello, does anyone know the difference between the Falcon, and the Falcon GL > van?

The last time I saw one on the road was about 2 years ago. Was a very faded red but still had the original decals etc on the side. I'm pretty sure they were based on the GL van, but with the extra fruit - S-Pack dash, rear spoiler, spotties, buckets..... > > I recall Ford producing a 302 V8 van twin doors, buckets seats and 4 speed > > manual with a set of not bad guages and called it some weird name round [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.690 / Virus Database: 451 - Release Date: 22/05/2004 I actually purchased a Ford XD Sundowner brand new from City Ford in Sydney. I loved all the features it offered except for the decals and the unpainted rear door. I ordered mine without the decals. It came with a 4,9L, T-Bar, bucket seats, sports dash, factory 12 slot mags plus front and rear spoilers and the tailgate instead of barn doors. It was a very nice car and I could post some photo's to anyone who is interested. It looked much better without the decals and I had a spray painter paint the rear window door. I could never understand why they left the upper tailgate window/door unpainted in matt black. Ford said it was to make it stand out. It sure did stand out but for all the wrong reasons. It was a great car. By the time it's life had expired (due to being stolen and burnt out) it had a 6 litre Cleveland (5.8l modified) V8 with a top loader 4 speed and 9" diff under it. Recaro seats, lowered 2" all round and the rear bottom of the tailgate was airbrushed with the cars name "Desperado". It still is remembered as my favourite pride and joy car, over 20 years later!!
