Description
Although the EB Falcon saw a major strides in build quality over the previous EA model, bigger news for car enthusiasts was the return of the V8, the US-sourced and fuel injected Windsor unit lifted from the Mustang being available across the Falcon range. The suspension on the EB was also revised to give sharper handling while equipment levels across the range were improved. The EB saw a renewed interest in performance at Ford and a number of special editions were released, including the supercharged Allan Moffat HO special that appeared on the cover of Motor magazine's November 1993 edition. With the headline "Wilder than GT, Faster then the Sprint", the Moffat HO attracted rave reviews and consisted of a body kit, including front spoiler, side skirts, rear valance and rear wing - all colour-coded - along with bonnet louvres, chrome inserts on the sides and bumpers and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside there was a Momo steering wheel and stiffer HO suspension completed the package. A Low number or these high performance specials were ultimately constructed and they are now true collector's items.
