$42,211 USD!

A fair bit more than I thought it would go for..

Looks like there was a bit of interest from Aus as well looking through the comments..

Yes a bit harsh. Especially as the american cars were not so great then. Good styling, poor build quality.

Ford Torino doesn't look quite as good to my eyes as the Ford XB. And I'm a ford fan, and like the torinos. They were called Falcon here prior to 1968-1970.

I grew up with the 1960s/1970s american cars and worked on all of them.

Looks like GM's has again failed recent plans to bring the Holden ute to america. At least we have two holdens here right now, the GTO and the G8. And next year the promise the Statesman.

bit harsh there D..
the XB is an aussie produced and designed car,
just because Ford and Holden share ideas with the US design departments and raid the parts boxes doesn't exactly make them copies does it..
the HK327 is a legendary car..

So few Aussie cars that Americans should waste their time knowing about.
XB is a copy of an American 1970s Ford Torino. I wouldnt pee on a the Aussie copy.
As for that bogged up Moron-aro Id rather an South African Chev Can Am any day or
anything else real-American than local the cheap garbage produced by Oz GM and Ford.

SAfrican Can Am with an updated all alloy small block dribble dribble dribble...

here in WA & oregon, there are several Falcon XBs (methinks the best looking version) but unfortunately people know how much they are worth...
