I can imagine that beautiful old girl with modern running gear underneath it...and you wouldn't even have to do any performance work to the engine...I'm pretty sure the XC weighed a lot less than a modern Falcon sedan...
That would have been something. What became of this beautiful GXL??

An old Jailbar or F100 with a fueled up 7.3 powerstroke turbo diesel.

XR-XA with the 5.4 3V and ZF6 as a realistic reliable cruiser/daily.

And shes no dream car but buggered if I now why Ford never facelifted the wagon with FG B pilar forward, ZF6 and given the tail lights/bumper a touch up, surely they would have moved more than the Mondeo flop and still serviced the taxi industry.

I reckon that XR hasnt even been lowered, 7.3 powerstroke weighs around 500kg

This. SZII with the GTF 351 and ZF auto. It will make a nice balance to a 32 Highboy with a 5.2 Voodoo running gear from a 2016 Mustang GT350R.

I've wanted an XM ute for ages, and the F6 310 (or a modern V8) would be an awesome way to bring it into the present day. Doing drivability upgrade and mod cons as well would make it a beautiful and comfortable all-day cruiser that would be ace fun on the track.
