Ford Falcon EB

The EB facelift hardly altered the apearance of the EA, however the big news for V8 fans was the re-introduction of the V8 (available for the first time since 1983).

The Mustang sourced 5.0 liter "Windsor" V8 developed a respectable 165kw. The front suspension was further improved over the EA, as Ford upgraded the springs, introduced gas shock absorbers, negative camber and increased castor front end geometry - the end result being far better handling.

As is the trend with any facelift, the EB received significant specification upgrades and, while being much better value than its predecessor, had now overcome most of the reliability issues.

For car enthusiasts, the EB saw the introduction of the "XR6"and "XR8" models, as well as the re-introduction of the "GT".
