Even though my name is Ohio XB my car is an XA. It had all the XB bits fitted to it while back in Australia at some time in it's life. If you saw it pulling into your driveway you would say "Oi, there's an XB." If you sat in the car you might say, "Oi, an XB doesn't have this kind of rear view mirror or steering column."

It's an October 1972 XA Fairmont.

You can add me to the XA Coupe list. I have a xa with a 460ci, C6, 9inch and all the good GT stuff. I am bringing it back to life at the moment after its been sitting around not doing much for the last couple of years.

I am on the look out for a decent set of wheels to fill those guards, if anyone can help me out please PM me.

Oh, I forgot to stipulate that it's a coupe as well. It is in North Olmsted, Ohio, USA and being restored and built into a Mad Max Interceptor replica.
