Default XB coupe in Motley Crue movie 'The Dirt'

Just before the one hour mark in this shot - it drives in and parks. Sure looks like an XB to me.

Movie available on Netflix, it's pretty good.

I grew up with an XB GT as the family car, and know the 72 Mustang well.

Falcon windscreen is larger, and side windows on that car are not Mustang.

Daniel Webber who plays Vince Neil is an Aussie, so maybe it’s his?

Looks like a Tropicana Fairmont GS, black vinyl roof and blacked-out export style sports road wheels.
