my son and i have a 12/1975 xc falcon we r currently doing a lil bit with and have come to realise that it is a 12/1975 xc falcon and it has a chalk number 48 on the front at the bottom of the radiator support panel; and was wondering if there was anyone that could give us a lil more info on what if anything this means. as far as we can see it has never been apart and has been garaged all its life.
cheers

Interesting. What are the specs with the car? Is it a base Falcon, 500, GS? Has it got the rear vents at the back window? The XC firewall started to show in the XBs around late 75 I think so it very well could have been one of the pre delivery vehicles

wouldnt worry about the body number stamping. I have had xcs stamped both on the top shock plate and on the "tongue" that comes across the top of it, i think that just depends on how much the bloke cared.

It could have been a pilot vehicle, a pre production test for checking that there was no build issues before it went into mass production.
I worked at Ford in early ninety's and we were running ED & EF pilots while still building EB's
