Well the first Super Pursuit was an XM they only came out with an 2sp automatic trans because the 3sp manual could not handle the torque of the big 200ci 6 cyl, but then came the Super Pursuit 3sp auto in the XP in 1965 and then the XR Falcon was the last Super Pursuit but it came with a 3speed full synchromesh manual box or auto.
They had Super Pursuit within winning chequered racing flags badge on both front guards.
Motor Manual test
XM 2sp auto 0 to 60mph 12.5 sec top speed 100 mph
XM 170 manual 0 to 60 mph 17.2 sec top speed 98 mph
That was the start of Ford Australia performance car challenge.
Pity that they did not have a manual box that could handle the power of the Super Pursuit until the XR Falcon.
