Damn that Cleveland sounds so good

A Cleveland symphony 🎼🎵

Definitely a car that stood out back in the day. Great to see it running around 👍

Magic sounding Cleveland!

Modern rubber on cars like this must be a huge gain. Super cool

Modern old style rubber though for the class, just as it was back then.

That is so bloody beautiful. brings a tear to my eye..

Awesome stuff, I remember that car like it was yesterday👍

Yep. Those were the days. What a fantastic car and video.

Ahhh, Jesus, just listen to that thing! I’m very happy to know someone like this is liking after this history and keeping faithful. Keep up the good work

Amazing sound.

Looking and sounding great😊

Car looks great and sounds great

Gets juices flowing watching this. Don’t get same feelings since.

What a mint car and mint sounding car

Love the xd falcons

Moffat also co-drove this car at Bathurst 1980, after his Federation XD Falcon expired on the first lap. Great race memories and cars.

Man I could watch this all day ,looks and sounds great ,out of the way Commie:)

Looks very similar to a European Granada mk2

Yeah its like the put the Mk2 through a photocopier at 120% & the XD was born. Both great looking cars but the Aussies got much better engine choices than us.

@@bunter6 Yep... We got the big ol' bent eight boat anchor which was often murdered with ugly clusters of polution control clutter & a pathetic 2 barrell carb. Thankfully, our then current & generous & curiously liberal Group C rules allowed staggering engine improvements. These old Group C rocketships often churned out 4, 5 & 600 Brake HorsePower & this particular car campaigned by Bob Morris was a front runner with a very highly developed 351 Cleveland donk. None of these local Australian versions of the "Granada" came with hopeless 4 cylinder powerplants. The common & most popular engine in our "XD FALCONS" was a 250 cubic inch inline 6 with a cast iron crossflow head & it was also choked half to death with a piddly little carburettor.

Great video ....

I so want to drive that XD

Fark Yeah!

Leistung??!! Was waren die damaligen Vorgaben die der Wagen erfüllen muss um in dieser Klasse C zu Starten? Hört sich voll Brutal an.Gefällt mir extrem.Hatte früher den 6Zyl Ford Taunus, allerdings nicht diese Rückleuchten.Meine waren viel kleiner und fast dreieckig Bj bzw Ez1/79 ,🇩🇪

Where can we see it?

Good stuff hope ya got spare door handles with it

I was wondering if this car is still original specification to the 1980 rules ?

Is there a better sound than 351 cubic inches of Cleveland's Finest at Full-Noise?

Thank you all 👍

They're not great lookers, but they more than make up for it with the sound they make.

Music

Aero of a brick 🧱 😂 but great sound

removeable steering wheel in 1980 hmmmmm really

Does John Harris that built and restored the car have bussiness contact details and number?
