    That's one of the most beautiful Fords I've ever seen. It's a shame the Falcon GT was never sold in the US. They would have done very well.

      They certainly would have ..This is when Ford U.S. were building the crappy downsized mid 1970's Mustangs . The XB and XC would have done well ..Check out the XC Cobra ...Sheer unasdulterated beauty . Funny thing is I'm not a fan of yellow cars generally but this one is spectacular ...

    I had a '73 mustang mach-1 in the same livery with a 351C auto. Senior year. Loved its looks. Performance was... erm... yeah, it was such that I would never, ever set foot in one again unless I resto-modded it myself. But this thing here is absolutely gorgeous! Really spot-on for what I was looking for. Front end of a Mach, rear of a torino. Wow! My two favorite cars in one!

    They just got those coupes so right in the 70's didn't they? Looks like its doing 100mph in the car park.After watching Mad Max1 & 2 & growing up watching the Hardie Ferrodo & 77 Bathurst 1-2 Moffat hardtops win, i had to own one of these, so as a 19yo, i saved up & got me a 1 owner '73 Fairmont for $3300. I sold it 2yrs later for $5500 because my 1st boss told me,, "That thirsty bastard will keep you poor, Son, sell that & buy yourself a housing block" Biggest regret of my life & i've missed it everyday since. Ironically it'd be worth 100k or more now, so not a bad investment for a $3300 bet. Praying i win the Classics for a Cause Coupe,,wish me luck.Thanks for sharing this superb example. I love it.
