I hope you know how good you've had it, fellow Aussies. The Ford XA, XB & XC are some of the finest muscle cars ever built. I don't see much, over here in America, that I would rather have than a Falcon GT.
Not any ford here in the states no. Roadrunners and cudas here are the coolest 70s muscle we have. Fords were pretty plain after 1970 because of emissions and stuff but Chrysler decided to keep paying the bill to keep making some cool cars. Where American ford muscle dropped the ball Australian cars picked it up. Neighbor has a pretty sweet superbird here in the states. I want to make Al Turner's XY/XW coupe they never let him build. Everything down to the assembly line logistics was figured out and sourcing the coupe bodies from the Us, how they were to be modified with sedan body panels etc then it was cancelled by bill bourke because it was going to cost them too much money to build.
I think we're probably the only country that truly followed the US style of muscle car building... I love our Aussie classics... Ford or Holden... Both awesome...
America and Australia respected for making real muscle cars. I like the parelels of American and Aussie cars- .American shelby Cobra and Aussie XC Cobra 🐍 .American Chrysler Dodge Charger and Aussie Valiant Charger .GTO and Monaro 🇦🇺🇺🇸
@@roadwarrior1451 So both 302s? It was the second 200 cars that came with the 302, wasn't it? Apart from #351 which had a 351 Cleveland and #001 which had a 302... You're an absolute legend for keeping two of these gorgeous beasts alive. I have a 77 XC that belonged to my late Grandfather, but she's just a 4.1... She's still my baby and I love her though...
Love the sound and look of that car it my favourite falcon but the wheels have to go not enough rubber on the back and the style dose not suit the car but I also understand that budget and availability and priority are what can make the difference between go's into a project
I used to love the way the Chev heads would say Oh no crap motor doesnt rev no low down grunt blah blah blah Clevelands are no good Well correctly set up cranks good rods and 4v intakes in 2v small port heads correct cam carby exhaust (never over 75% exhaust vs intake) and you had a screamer and no oil starvation because you drill the valley (Under intake manifold) and oil restrictor and 7-8 litre sump CYA Love the sound and the iconic look Thanks for sharing
Awesome motors, my favorite Aussie car. Actually painted blue first then the white overlaid on it, check this site out . www.aussiecoupes.com/cobra.html
@@p.t.mcauliffe4576 yeah I thought they'd be going the extra displacement for racing. Those old xa-c were the last of the beautiful Ford's until the ba-f series
Hai guys me hard fans ford facon my dreams one day i willi want have these car but problem i dont have enough money please guys help me make my dream come true to have falcon coupe cobra tanks guys god bless us
Someone may get a great idea , like strategically place an official, with obvious holden leanings n distaste for Ford , in a prime possie so he can call the FORD jumped the start and make the coupe start a rerun . Just so we can hear that sweet roaring engine all over again .

1973 Ford Mustang is close to the Falcon XB, isn’t it?
@@westerlywinds5684 No, there is no direct relationship. The Falcon sedan was actually more common than this coupe.
I could listen to that monster all day long. Good on you mates from an American admirer.

Now that's the kind of classical music I could listen to all day!
It's great to see the Cobra being put to good use
Nothing like the roar of a V8! I had a crush on this car since Mad Max...👊🏼👊🏼
Indeed everyone loves a bit of v8 muscle. That along with an old person driving it put me in awe as its nice to see em send it!
Nasty bit of gear. Goes good.
Outstanding
Great to hear and See .U Got To Love a Aussie V8. From Uk
That's one seriously awesome car. I can honestly say I've never seen that before and I'm glad I have now..
I love that car !

This video is about this car in this time, don't try to make it about yourself, that's just poor form.
What a car looks really cool
I don't even like muscle cars but this thing is just awesome
Australia has everything good about cars. They have access to the best muscle, Japanese, and European cars, and they actually use them.
Very Nice .
Ain't no Ford like an old Ford
OOOOH!!!! Don't that make your heart skip-a-beat, at the sight n' sound of the KING COBRA? OOOOOH, SEX ON WHEELS CAR!!!!
XA XB XC are the best cars ever made.
Sounds good!
Cars like this give you goosebumps. Never a boring moment ever.
God damn that sounds mean

What sort of exhaust do you need to get this sound from a Cleveland?
Powered by FORD oh yeah.

Looks good. With out a commodore up it's ass
That's nothing... back in the eighties.,., building a 4litre. Going to call it a Barra..... might even turbo it.... for fun 😊
You should be allowed to drive like this on the road if you have a muscle car
