From what I know the car was sent to Detroit where it was modified by a Ford special vehicle division. It had many Mustang parts such as the Cobra Jet and C6 auto, high back seats and shaker. The seats eventually made their way into the XA and the shaker into the XY. Too bad the Cobra Jet didn't make its way into Falcon though, but it wouldn't have been any good for Bathurst with all that extra weight over the front end.
