THE road to creating perfect dream machines usually isn’t a smooth one. Cars tend to throw all kinds of inconceivable curveballs at us, even as we plead for the physical, emotional and financial bleeding to cease. But the upside to this is that continued perseverance usually results in a much better product than was originally planned, and that could certainly be said for Jeremy Spiteri and his ultra-tough XY Falcon GS.

Jeremy got his hands on the car around six years ago in fairly good condition and still running a humble 302. “I actually wanted a Capri, but my cousin’s husband had an XY in good nick, so I ended up with that,” he says.

Jeremy shoved the 302 aside for a Dart Windsor massaged out to 440 cubes, and soon found he was having issues with adhesion. “I was struggling for traction,” he says with a laugh. “So I sent the car to Con at Pro Street Metalcraft to get the rear end done.”

The rear-end renovation was fairly extensive; Pro Street fitted a neat pair of tubs, relocated the leaf springs to be inboard of the chassis, moved the shocks, and fitted MotorFab traction bars and sliders to keep the XY running straight and true. As well as traction, Jeremy was chasing a tough new look for the XY, so the rear arches were widened to accommodate big rubber.

“I loved the tubbed look with big wheels,” he says. “Once I decided to get the rear end sorted I really wanted that super-tough pro street look.” Sitting underneath the massaged rear arches is a pair of beefy 15x10 Weld AlumaStars wearing 29x12.5 Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pro radials.
