The story behind the '73 Ford Falcon XB
The 2013 release of the '73 Ford Falcon XB stands out as a highly exclusive model for diecast enthusiasts. This specific version appears in the HW Garage series and carries the status of a Super Treasure Hunt, making it one of the most sought after items from that year. Unlike standard Mainline cars found on store shelves every day, this rare find features special production details designed to catch the eye immediately. The model is based on an iconic Australian muscle car known for its aggressive stance and performance heritage. Rob Matthes took charge as the designer behind this 1/64 scale interpretation. With SKU X2024 marking its identity, collectors quickly learned that finding one required patience or luck at checkout aisles across the world.
Materials, colors and value
This unique casting features a mix of materials to create visual depth and appeal. The base is made from plastic but offers several variations including ZAMAC metal, Dark Chrome finishes, unpainted options, or standard painted bases depending on the exact variant produced. The body itself often shows Gold tones with special Spectraflame paint treatments that give it a distinct shimmer under light. Interior details remain simple in black to keep focus on the exterior lines and hood scoop design. Clear plastic windows complete the look while keeping costs manageable for mass production runs despite its premium status within the collection.
Questions about the '73 Ford Falcon XB
How rare is a Super Treasure Hunt Falcon XB?+
Super Treasure Hunts are extremely limited releases hidden randomly among regular stock without warning. They appear far less frequently than standard models or even basic Treasure Hints due to their exclusive nature and special paint applications like Spectraflame which make them highly prized by serious collectors worldwide.
What does the flame logo mean on this car?+
A small red yellow orange gradient flame sticker placed directly onto certain diecast models indicates they belong to special hunt categories such as Treasure Hunts or Super Treasure Hunts. This specific Falcon XB carries that mark signifying its rare status within the 2013 lineup and helps buyers instantly identify valuable finds without needing extra information.
Is this car worth collecting today?+
Yes especially because of its Super Treasure Hunt classification which automatically places it above ordinary releases in terms of desirability among hobbyists. While exact market values fluctuate based on condition and packaging integrity these limited edition vehicles tend to hold strong appeal for anyone building comprehensive Australian muscle or HW Garage themed sets.
