- The final cruise in my 1973 XB Falcon Coupe with the 351 Cleveland engine still in. The poor ole girl has finally done its dash and needs to come out. The new Blown 400 Cleveland with NOS is ready so the time has finally come!
Jump in for the final cruise ..... - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Not gonna lie I would have enjoyed the video more if I could have just to listen to the sound of the car cruising along instead of the background music you had playing the whole time...
yeah ... tried but when I opened the exhaust gates the engine just about fell out on the road ...its that broken! hahaha
Baha
The two-door falcon is simply the most beautiful looking car never made.
ohhh I sooo agree !!!! ... burnt into our minds as kids watching Bathurst I reckon too.
@@octanefixonline I have wondered whether the two are connected. Whether they look so good simply because they raced of Bathurst, but I don’t think so because the A9X is a good looking car, but not in the same league.
@@hisheroship Yeah mate I get you there. The A9x being shorter just doesnt look as sleek I reckon
@@octanefixonline True, and I don’t think it has the nice curves either. It is much squarer. However, the drop tank at the back looks awesome.
@@hisheroship hahaha .... yep!
Love this car, it's amazing, one of the most beautiful coupes i had ever seen, overall amazing to look at. In my opinion XA and XB Coupes or sedans, don't need those types of wing spoiler in the back of them, Tremendous car regardless.
Thanks man .... yep .. definitely my favourite shape! Yeah I was in two minds about the wing too... the B's originally didn't have them but Moffat added it. He's had a little bit of experience with coupe handling ...hahaha
Thats a beauty of an XB Falcon 👍
Cheers Jerry :D Almost done with the rebuild again too
Like the play on the GS stripe. Cross between XA & XB. Satin looks awesome over gloss.Would like to have heard the sound of the mighty 351 rumble not the music.
thanks man ... just wanted to do something a little different. YEP .. was my plan to have the grumbly 351 in there, but when I open the exhaust gates it bloody near fell out on the road shaking and banging. Its that broken! Pretty sure crank is in two bits! haha .. had to quieten it down quick smart and get home!
@@octanefixonline Hopefully we will get to hear that sweet noise soon. My mate had to rebuild his engine in his XB Fairmont Hardtop after a snapped crank.
@@rhettcorbett3346 awww true ... must be the weakest link eh .... they're tuff as hell really! Cant believe the beatings it taken really!
@@octanefixonline Bloody oath mate. But it was a cast crank. He has got a billet one now. Yes he "Gives it the Bejesus". RIP John "Roop" Millichamp for that line. But it broke when he took off slowly from lights with wife in car. So lucky he wasn't "Kicking it in the Guts" (thx Goose) when it happened. He kept the short bit of crank for a paperweight.
@@rhettcorbett3346 hahaha .... excellent ! ... mine was hard out dropping the clutch at full revs! ..... hahaha ...didnt go well ! ... awesome dude ..cheers
Very cool!!
cheers man
Mate am Ford through and through and like your car, but please let's hear it !
Yeah, that was plan too. But when I opened the exhaust gates the engine bloody near shook itself out and fell on the ground! Its that rooted!
Fark that's nice mate 💪💪💪🤟🤟🤟🤟
Thanks man, just something I wanted to build.
Wats with the music,lets hear the car
Max!what district were you driving in..great road to be on
Yeah ... beautiful in the hills here ... Bay of Plenty, New Zealand mate
@@octanefixonline great sight
Very nice....
thanks :D more to come yet. Nearly back on the road.
love the car but would have prefered to hear the engine
yep. mee too! Unfortunately that wasnt going to happen. It was a bit more broken than I was hoping for.
There's nothing like an 8 ....you can give me a v10 a v12 a v16 but the 8 s great!
ohhh yeah mate... the thump of a Cleveland .... its just GOLD!
So over the loud crappy music on these videos
get out and walk then ... hahaha ... yeah early recording gear wasnt really up to it. Have replaced everything since tho! Put your own music on ... unless its Justin Beiber, there's no way your watching my coupe with that crap on!
hahaha
Lose the music. I wanna hear the engine
Too many haters not enough lovers
hahaha .... naa mate ... over 8300 views so far and only a couple a haters mate ... they'll go back to listening to Justin Beiber in their crappy plastic jappa's or electric pieces of crap! hahaha .... Cheers Man .. Coupes ROCK eh!
@@octanefixonline well said mate
@@gregp5257 haha ... awesome dude!
Great video m8 but please just give us some engine and no terrible music
Cheers Sean
Engine was ###! mate, was about to drop out on the road when I opened the exhaust gates to get the sound. hahaha ... ohwell, there's no Justin Beiber in my coupe sorry mate.
@@octanefixonline music wasn't that bad m8 but people definitely prefer to hear the engine over music just so U know.
@@seanbayley7452 Yeah, it was the plan, just didn't work out over the wind noise and horrible knocks from the poor ole Cleveland. ... haha ... poor ole girl. Cheers man
Yeah sorry mate. Song is terrible
best ya get out and walk then! haha ... cheers
no music would have better
hahaha not with that engine mate! ITS more than broken! Hence it came out!
Something wrong with audio? No engine noise 👎
hahaha ..... yeah that was the plan ... kinda killed it tho! It seriously wanted to drop out on the ground! haha
You changed it too much stock is the best
Yeah I love stock too, but I drive my cars! I didnt build it for anyone else's liking, I built it to GO HARD, brake and corner HARD! and Stock just don't do that! If it was stock ... it would be a ditch by now! hahaha
Dirty drivers side mirror put me off.
Driven not hidden mate!
