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 ...
As a Yank I'd have to say those Falcon lines can compete against anything we offered in the late 60's and early 70's. Fukin beautiful, arguably the best looking Ford muscle car ever built. Especially that one.
@@3PercentNeanderhal well I believe the falcon and mustang have always been pretty close, the early 70s mustangs have similar rear ends to the xb, just look at those window lines
@@burntferidgerator6848 I agree but I see Torino and Cougar styling cues in there too. Either way they are some damn good looking cars. I wish the market was deeper and importing them was easier because I'd love to have one.
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.
I'm a Ford yankee from Michigan and this car is absolutely gorgeous. I think mustangs are over played. I'd take one of these any day over any Ford over here. Although I am partial to the 63 1/2 Galaxy R-code.
A neighbour had one of these (precisely that model/colour) in '74 . I had my '69 series 2 E-Type, plus another little coupe, but it was the Falcon that the kids were excited about.. 'Worra' car they screamed, as he passed by!
I had a 1971 XA 351 GT 5 speed manual toploader. I regret selling my GT. Calypso green with white leather interior. Got caught on hull road Moroolbark Vic 1988 doing 60mph in a 60km zone
Never liked the XB in general but in coupe form, this is where it's at. I can hear the salivating from overseas itching to take this away from Australia. Look but don't touch! You've taken more than your share!
I'm a MOPAR MAN but the XB GT has always been my favourite Australian ford and this one is right up there. Beautifully presented, you shoul be proud. The only thing I don't like is the rack and pinion steering but that's just a personal dislike. Not sure about the yellow inserts on the seats either but again, that's just me. Well done for not doing a burn out, it shows younhave respect for the car 😎👍
Mines almost done xb coupe 351 new valves guides and seats to run unleaded with an engine rebuild roller rockers double springs and NO RUST AT ALL!!! 100K in body work restored to new.
the XB coupe has to be the sickest car on earth.
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.

@@rodneymcgiveron I second the yellow opinion, but I do find the colour sits better on classics than modern carriages.
Actually, the Falcon did sell in the US until 1970.
@@eagle1416 Nothing resembling this Falcon ever sold in the US.
@@yyzwdm That's not what I'm saying.
When someone does their job properly, this kind of beauty is created. Well done Ford!
This is totally my DREAM car! About as good as a hardtop gets.
It's the last of the V-8's!
Those were the days dreams were made off. A great 427 V8 engine, great speed and stopping power.
XBGT Coupe is one thing but a 427 Clevo Stroker in it too that's just Viscous sounds beautiful.
Australia used to make the best muscle cars
used is the tragedy

Real man's muscle car.
Tuff and grumpy.
Not like the poser modern interpretations today.
That is a thing of beauty, and I'm a Holden owner 😁👍🏻
I'm kinda split, if it's utes then I'll go Holden because they have better design, but for sedan/coupes I'll always on Falcon
@@ghivifahmi4252ht,hq,hk??
The build quality is amazing. Sounds tuff too.

351 Cleveland also a great motor.Powered some muscle in AU as well.
Beautiful car, sounds awesome!
Like one of the nicest looking Fords ever designed aside from the GT 40 . Nice restoration
The wing and the wheels mixed with the body is just perfect
Dang send me one to sandiego California ☺️☺️☺️🥰🥰🥰🥰
Always a fan of the Falcon, this might just be the nicest 1 I've seen, & I'm not a yellow fan, but, WOW !....it looks great on this car
OMG. Sounds and looks fantastic.. so jealous. Well done
I'm from America, and I love this car! Beautiful Machine! Wish I owned it!😊
These vehicles were a work of art, I've owned Holdens, Fords, and many Chryslers, many modern cars will not last as long, watch
Stunning car absolutly beautiful. Nothing like the sound of a big clevo 👍👍
THIS KING OF AUSTRALIA ITS BETTER THAN MUSTANG
The second I heard the exhaust note I clicked the like icon…….
Just bloody gorgeous!
Very well done, superb classic!!!
That car represents an Australia that once was.
Awesome build and car. One of the nicest I’ve seen. Cudos👍
Far canal! Gorgeous!

Вот это агрегат! Настоящий Police Interceptor:)

Verry Nice
Шум работающего двигателя, как рычание зверя! Божественный звук... 👍👍👍👍
A Dream ❤
Perfect
its like they took the best styling of the torino, added it to the Mustang and made this piece of art.
When mustang and Torino gave birth to a baby and named it Falcon lol.
That's a very common comment from Americans it must be true
@@skeletonmandiecastcollector this falcón XB looks like a fusión between the 70" Torino GT and the 72" Mustang march 2.
Ooo man great car top 5 best ford's ever:) I want one beautiful car :)
What a great platform to modify into the last great V8 black interceptor.
That is art. So good its wrong
Never liked the XB in general but in coupe form, this is where it's at.

Wat a beauty and the Beast
Flat tappets? This is heavenly... wow
I wish we had these in the U.S.
A guy in upstate NY has one same colour.
I think you mean sold there new? You can thank your auto unions as well as being engineered for RHD.
