Looked a lot like a Torino with the tail lights/rear facia of a Maverick here in the U.S. I’ve always believed you Aussies got the best Cleveland’s and you took them to their intended performance place of Glory. I’ve noticed you do a great job on the Windsor since you’ve gotten those as well. Great job guys!
The coupes looked tuffer than the sedans, even in the Holden’s of the same era. In my opinion, the v/late 60’s & 70’s were Holden & Fords best muscle car era.
That would be my dream car. Ever since I was a kid I loved the XA coupe look, inside and out. This one is perfect. Fantastic job and thanks for sharing!
Absolutely love it. XA one of the best and as a Holden man I would own that any day. Well done Dave and all the boys Matamata panel works it is beautiful and love that interior too 👌🏆🇦🇺
A beautiful resto/mod of what I also consider the best of that era! My late father here in Australia had a XA Ford Superbird coupe, 302 in 1977. I had a few envious mates at school😡 My dad actually came across a XA GT 351 coupe a couple of years later & we went to have a look at it for me to buy. Trying to be a responsible 19 year old 2nd year apprentice stupidly declined dad’s offer as guarantor at the bank. Biggest regret of my life for many years! 😭 Enjoy it Dave, you’ve got a great car to be proud of. Cheers from “Across The Ditch”😎👍🏼🇦🇺
Absolutely stunning car and not too over the top but all those changes make it look awesome,even the door handles are cool. Very well done,a true show stopper.
Wow! This is the dream XA brother, Well done! The rear interior looks more spacious than I remember it having..& all leather is just right on the money. It's not an original anymore but it's a great rendition, in almost every way it's a better designed version... I'd love to have one built the same way but kept original in body..
I like your style. The small things you changed on it are the things that annoy me too. Looks strong and the colour beautiful, probably looks even better in real life! Good on ya !
My boss,Jack Smith in New Plymouth owned the first one to arrive in NZ. It was a very impressive car. Jack said he heard of a guy in Aussie that could get the wheels to smoke at 80 mph. I thought,fuck me,thats awesome!! Another worker,who had a Hillman hunter said,yea,so what?? My car can do that if I yank the hand brake on!!! I didnt dare laugh,Jack was PISSED!!!
Why take a classic car like this beautiful piece of art.. and then just completely fuck it with modern update! It's looks like absolute shit compared to the stock original look!

The best description of this car is "smooth" ! I love it my kiwi friend!
Super. Kiwi engineering....Long Tan excellence.
Sweeett as!!! My father restored his XA superbird.......I remember the day he sold it....that was a dark day....
I think that's the best xa coupe I've ever seen. Gawd that's nice
Best one we've seen (to date) too!
Shuttle changes, that accentuate a gorgeous blast from the past body shape, well done to boot!!!
Thumbs up from me 😉🙂👍👍
Would that be subtle?
Subtle mods really work (that bonnet!) I especially admire the choices for the interior leather trim and seating. A front to back stunner. Well done.
Looks Beautiful
That paint job is really spectacular, great job
Just beautiful. Absolute artists.
Cool car, great mods, thank god people still do this!
Beautiful car , my favourite of the 70’s ford era
One of the nicest looking XAs ive seen m8 either side of the ditch.
Amazing, I wish we had those in the US
They're unique cars alright! This is the coolest one we've ever seen (to date)
@@needacar613 th-cam.com/video/S4HtxaTul1E/w-d-xo.html check this one out if you haven’t seen it yet.
Wow... it's just exquisite
Absolutely love it. XA one of the best and as a Holden man I would own that any day. Well done Dave and all the boys Matamata panel works it is beautiful and love that interior too 👌🏆🇦🇺

Spectacular implementation of the Ford 2 door
Great car - especially the colour. Stout motor.
Absolutely stunning car and not too over the top but all those changes make it look awesome,even the door handles are cool. Very well done,a true show stopper.
Wow just wow beautiful XA coupe mate 👏👏👏
What a build! Body mods are sublime. Better than original. Unreal
Clever modifications 👍😎🌏🇦🇺
The ABC ford coupes are the baddest Carson earth.
Beautiful car modern yet classic..
It's basically an Australian Gran Torino! But with different grille, tail lights, etc.
Absolutely brilliant - well done…
Stunning car mate, job exceptionally well done
Just a beautiful job.
Congrats to all involved
Aussies, Kiwis, and Americans speak a similar muscle car/hot rod language.
The XA 2dr is the best looking car ever built on the planet
There's something special about them! Nothing else quite like them.
That is a gorgeous coupe mate. Well done
That's bloody brilliant
Absolutely stunning!
Beautiful car mate
Very respectfully modified, it just enhances the good looks of the original car.
Awesome car! Congrats...well done.
all I can say is wow
Great work well done
Easily the best looking Oz muscle car. well done mate. superb.
That’s soo beautiful!
Fascinating I'm hooked 🎣

Beautiful car, love the color blue
Just F------ Beautiful, love it

Beautiful car mate.
I seen this driving through Henderson one night on my way home, it was infront of me, had tail lights but no brake lights.
Sweeeeeettt yeeesss nice
Spot on buddy !!
congrats .. a stunning xa .. i want her !
I agree, Great project, Pity Ford didn't built Them like that to begin with!
Beautiful
Had to settle for the Mustang in the US.
Holy Fuk Shizznit....XBOSS similarities. LOVE THIS ALOT!!!
it's beautiful, but i would have left the front end and bonnet more original....well done
Love it!
I like your style. The small things you changed on it are the things that annoy me too. Looks strong and the colour beautiful, probably looks even better in real life! Good on ya !
The bonnet?..... No....... just no
XA bonnet with teardrops needs no modifications.
But great car nevertheless.
Hi mate, I really love the XA. Would you mind sharing the paint colour code?
Looks gorgeous. Very subtle. Anyone have some sort of price list for all that?
I would guess around 150 - 200 k.
My uncle had one of these in Invercargil. I would be rapt if it turned out to be the source car.
Fuck that is well done 👌🏼👌🏼
Hi we have recently bought a falcon coup landau, we are planning to make it exactly the same colour as yours, what colour is that. Just wondering?
Modern .
My boss,Jack Smith in New Plymouth owned the first one to arrive in NZ.
It was a very impressive car.
Jack said he heard of a guy in Aussie that could get the wheels to smoke
at 80 mph.
I thought,fuck me,thats awesome!!
Another worker,who had a Hillman hunter said,yea,so what??
My car can do that if I yank the hand brake on!!!
I didnt dare laugh,Jack was PISSED!!!
fesh n cheps
Looks amazing! What are the tires and rims?
Why did we never get these cars in the US .europe and Australia got all the best cars
What brand are the wheels??
how about painting the mufflers black
So why a Windsor? Cleveland is so Australia 🇦🇺 figure that's what it would have come with
Nice car... Don't know about that color tho
Absolutely magic the XA 2 Door coupe, wicked build, New Subscriber and we hit the bell check us out when u get time cheers KC Tassie 🇭🇲😎👍🇦🇺
I just shot my load. Sorry.

Ruined something that was right to start with but I guess when you own it you can change it.
I agree, Great project, Pity Ford didn't built Them like that to begin with!
Love it!
