History
| History of vehicle? |
There were big changes for the EB Falcon, although these were not visual. The main differences on the outside were the placement of the Ford badge - now in the grille, new wheel trims and(1991 - 1993)
reverse lights on either side of the number plate. Quality was greatly improved over the EA.
The biggest news was the return of the V8. The 5L V8 was brought back to life with fuel injection and was available on all models. The other engines were the same as the EA range.
Improvements to the suspension consisted of gas-pressurized shock absorbers, updated mounting bushes, revised front geometry and higher geared steering, making the car much more refined.
Series II, almost a different model, arrived in April 1992 and, on the base model, brought body-coloured bumpers, glossy black door handles and GLi badges.
The new engine in Series II was a quieter, greatly improved 4L multi-point six cylinder, and it replaced both 3.9L units. Safety was the order of the day, with the EB II gaining foam-filled extra-strength roof pillars, a stronger roof, new seat belt lockers and optional ABS braking.
In early 1993, a lap sash rear seat belt became standard - a first for an Australian car.
Tickford Vehicle Engineering was established, a joint venture with Ford Australia, and one of the first models to come from this operation was the hot new S XR6. Released in October 1992, Tickford improvement gave the 4 litre enough performance to match a V8. A month later a new GT Falcon was unveiled to celebrate 25 years.
By the end of 1992, all Falcons got the new Smartlock security system with Tibbe locks and an immobiliser. South Australian police invited four professional car thieves to steal the EB. After four days, they gave up.
In 1993 a Tickford factory LPG option became available. |
