    ★★★ *FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VIDEO / FACT UPDATES* ★★★
    *1) Do you still have the car as of Oct 2018?* - Yes he does, the video & images in this video were put together by Tommy just recently, so yes he still owns it, and as said in this video will be handing it down to his son at the right time.
    *2) Why is the steering wheel on the wrong side / Right Hand Drive* - Because this is Australia, we have right hand drive cars and we drive on the opposite side of the road to Americans.
    *3) Ford is American not Australian how can it be part of Australian History* - The Ford Falcon XA is a unique Ford to Australia; Australian made, Australian sold. The Ford Falcon (XA) is a full-size car that was produced by Ford Australia from 1972 to 1973 in Australia. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Falcon_(XA)
    *4) You are driving on the wrong side of the road* - Yes in Australia the Police let us do that kind of thing, they very relaxed about driving on the wrong side of the road.
    *5) Why didn't he let his Dad drive the car* - (Tommy Replied) "My Dad, didn't, and still doesn't want to drive the car. He refused to drive it on the day of the reveal, and to this day, still won't drive it. I don't know why. I have told him he can drive the car whenever he wants."
    *6) Why didn't he give the car back to his parents?* - (Tommy Replied) "As the video states, they never wanted the car back. It was mine to do with it as I pleased. I was given the car when my parents moved into town and had nowhere to keep the car."
    *7) "F O R D Logo" - If you forward to **5:10** you will notice an error in the ford emblem on the rear trunk/boot. The F and the O are incorrectly spaced apart compared to the spacing between the other letter.* - Reply from Tommy, "The badges on the boot were not evenly spaced when the car was purchased new. Hence why we chose to not get them perfectly spaced out."

      @felipegrijo5803 Před 5 lety +32

      About the fact #4, you're driving in the correct side of the car according to Jeremy Clarckson, lol. I'm Brazilian, so I drive in the wrong side of the road.
      I loved the video, a unforgetable car with a beautiful story.
      I was talking in the other day with a friend of mine about the Aussie V8 car culture. You have so many unique V8 cars, like Sandman or the UTE's like Maloo, for example. I think that Australia have to present more of their V8 culture to the world, not only the Mad Max side of the story.
      PS: Sorry about my English since it's not my first language

    • @WonderWorldYTC
      @WonderWorldYTC  Před 5 lety +28

      I have no doubt the V8 culture is still strong in certain groups & communities, but with fuel prices and car companies shutting down due to poor sales and imports being economical 4 or 6 cylinders, I think the culture is dying off.

Doing this type of work is one of my trades and I've grown up with a love for American muacle cars and that includes our Australian muscle car cousins as well. One of , among many, of the great cars and trucks my father owned when i was a kid was a 1967 Ford Mustang ( green ). Once again, much respect from here in the States.

Even you sold your car for the wedding, this was not wise at all. A woman you can get anytime....but a classic.....much harder. Now don't get me wrong ,i love my wife and i understand everything......but it is not wise to mix cars and women. Women have their place, and the cars another.

    WELL DONE MATE. You bought tears to my eyes seeing your Mum & Dad once again see the car how it should be.
    Sadly I don't have the funds to help my Father restore his & Mum's and OUR Family Falcon to enjoy the experience you did. I prey I can get help SOMEWHERE to do the restoration on his complete Fairmont GXL that still has everything to it as he bought it from Kyneton Ford so I can experience him & Mum driving it once again before they pass. And its in more than a reasonable condition being kept out of the weather now for over 30 years.
    I can only wish to see my Father bring a tear to his eye and my Mum be so excited to once again see there Family car they and me grew up in.
    Well done and congratulations. It was a very tearful moment watching this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🙏

    I applaud you for having virtually resurrected the car to its original glory. It is a very beautiful vehicle. For the family it means so much more. For the parents, many joyful memories in their youth is intimately tied to the car. For Tommy, particularly childhood memories. These memories are priceless and the car will always drive them along memory lane. This car is virtually the bridge to a beautiful past. I have like memories of my favorite car the HQ Holden Belmont.

      Yo, the parenting is so good that they have that loving and caring son who did that to please the parents. Family love and bonding is the greatest strength for any one. Together they can stand against any storm in life. 👌👍

    His father is absolutely speechless trying to collect his thoughts sitting in that car he spent so much time with as a young lad with his now wife. Hearing the pur of that beautiful car must've made him feel truly complete again on a different level than just his family.

      @@bjornlothbrok1964 That aspect of humanity is our means of survival but also our downfall. Although its important, you shouldn’t always be thinking about gain and the future. It isn’t always about the grind. Cherish the meaningful stuff in life that have memories and experiences attached to them. To you that car is a price tag, to him that’s a priceless memory that makes him feel happy. Change your perspective

    I approached the restoration of my 1968 Dodge Charger R/T in a similar way, did some of the disassembly and simple refurbishing but had most of the work done by others… and yes, I too spent way over 100k on the restoration. My family like yours has a deep emotional bond with my car, it has been in our family for almost 50 years. I do not drive the car near enough but at this point have no plans on selling. Enjoy and thanks for sharing your story.
