THE December issue of SM goes on sale tomorrow. On the cover is Blake Fardell’s XY Falcon, which features – amongst other things – a blown 572ci Hemi, 20-inch Simmons wheels and XW tail-lights!

And while BIGQBS has all the hallmarks of a show car, it proved to be a perfectly mannered street car on our photo shoot, cruising around Sydney without fuss.
