Here's 2 pics so you can compare for yourself, is it just me or do they look strikingly similar??...

Mustang Mach 1


XB GT Coupe


They even have the same colour scheme...
Some of the front end yes, but those huge rear quarters of the XA-XC coupe are a spitting image of the Ford Torino, best known as the Starsky and Hutch car.
