General production was limited to gold only. The other few were special order builds.

The XRGT was only in GT GOLD with 7 painted in silver for the Gallahger cigarette company which was a sponser of the Gallahger 500 precurser to the Bathurst 500. As for the XB GT it was produced from 1974 to 1976 after which came the XC. The XC cobra were originally blue and then they were painted white. Ford had 400 coupe shells left that no one was buying so they painted them all the same and made them limited editions with 302 and 351clevelands . And the XYGTHO P hase 3 was the fastest 4door production car of its time.

The next range was the 1979 XD Falcon and the 1978 VB Commodore. With Holden it was the HX LE Monaro and the HZ Kingwood. They used the leftover bodies of the HQ Monaro and just added all the leftover bits from all the top of the range models like the Statesman.

As Americans, we can build a few of these, namely the '67 Falcon and '71 Falcon since our 1970 Falcon 4-door body (the very last year of the old-school 'Falcon' model we had) was very similar to the Australian versions. Also, the Cosworth Sierra could be built on a Merkur XR4Ti. The Jensen Interceptor--we definitely had those here, although I believe he may have confused the Jensen FF (believed to be the first AWD/4WD cars sold in the world--as opposed to 4WD trucks/Jeeps) which we didn't get due to packaging for the 4WD system made them not crash-test worthy and/or the steering wheel could never be left-hand drive. I do wish we got the Cobra Falcons as opposed to the pigs we had here, aka Ford Torino from around the same years. Thankfully we did get some later year Holdens here starting with the 2004 Holden Monaro which was badged as the Pontiac GTO, and a few models later ending with the Holden Commodore (Pontiac G8 and finally the Chevrolet SS in 2017).

About 500 Capris were converted by specialist Basil Green Motors to run the 302 Ford Windsor V8 engine. These models were known as the Capri Perana and were very successful in local touring car events, winning the 1970 South African championship and, in a different format, the 1971 championship as well. No Mk II and Mk III Capris were exported to, or built in South Africa.

You didn't do much research on this did you? The Australian R/T Charger was nothing like the American Charger. It was a unique design to Australia. The R/T was made for a few years starting with the E38 which was a 265 6 cylinder Hemi with a 3 speed manual behind it. The R/T E49 had a more powerful 265 Hemi and a 4 speed manual. There was an E55 which was a 340 V8 but it was not very popular due to the oil crisis of the mid 70s. The Australian Charger was built right through to 1980 and was the most popular car Chrysler Australia ever made. The Australian XC Falcon Cobra was built especially to homologate the Ford Falcon Cobra for Australia's Touring Car Championship. They were built in 1978 and 400 were made. Why 400? Because Ford Australia had 400 spare 2 door body shells sitting doing nothing and they didn't want to scrap them so they made the 1978 Ford Falcon Cobra out of them. Of the 400 that were built 200, maybe 201, had the 351 Cleveland, the rest had the Australian 302 Cleveland. They could be optioned with automatic or manual.

Just to clarify, the E38 and E49 were built to race at Bathurst. The 340-engined E55 was originally meant to follow the E49 for Bathurst, but the media-driven Supercar Scare happened, to Chrysler Australia pulled the pin on the E55 race car and instead got rid of their stock of 340s by selling the softer E55 as an auto-only tourer. The E55 340 developed about 37 fewer horsepower than the 265 E49. Also, the XC Cobra wasn't built especially to homologate for Bathurst. It was specifically developed to get rid of excess 2-door body shells. There was, however, a limited run of Bathurst Cobras within the Cobra production run. "Cars numbered from 002 to 0031 were known as Option 97 specification, the so-called "Bathurst Cobras", fitted with parts to allow homologation for racing, including twin radiator fans switchable from the dash, a gearbox oil cooler, suspension bracing and reworked rear wheel body housings. They were most easily identified from the other 370 Option 96 Cobras via their large (and functional) rear-opening bonnet bulge."

The 340 would have been popular, the problem was, they Never advertised it or made any mention of it being available, other than a couple of magazine tests....oh and Alvin Purple. If you went into a dealer, they would try NOT to sell you a 340 Charger. By 1973, the VJ ran the 360 V8, which they also tried not to sell. Also by 1972 Chrysler Corp had sworn off motor racing in the US, the 340 was detuned by then, then became unavailable the next year. Most of the 340 engines and New Process gearboxes (4 speeds) that CAL got, were from 1969 and a few 1970 ones....which had the steel cranks and big valve heads.

GREAT video!!! Love those cars! BUT, at the end the 1978 Ford Falcon Cobra pics were mixed in with the American Ford Mustang Cobra with the same paint scheme...very different cars there, I know, I owned a 1975 Ford Mustang similar body design. But well done overall! Cheers!

Uniquely, the South African market also saw the introduction of a 5.0-litre XR8 between June 1984 and 1988. A limited number of 250 x 2 Sierras were made for the purposes of homologation,[34] as this model was the premier Ford used in Group A racing. The XR8 was fitted with the 302 ci engine from the US Ford Mustang, and the Borg Warner T5 heavy duty transmission. Front brakes were AP Racing four-piston calipers on 280 mm discs. Max power is 209 PS (154 kW) and a top speed of 225 km/h (140 mph) was claimed.[35] The XR8 is easily recognized by having four cooling slats between the headlights, whereas lesser versions were sold with the original smooth front.

Wow somebody doesn't know what they're talking about when it comes to the 1978 XC Ford Falcon Cobra, There was only 400 Produced in 1978 I own car number 355 in Pennsylvania USA And why were they showing an ugly Ford Mustang Cobra 2 when they were talking about The Australian XC ford Falcon Cobra A Lot of misinformation Get your facts straight before making a video

Yep, there are still quite a few in the US. However, he might have confused the Jensen FF. It looked very similar to the Jensen Interceptors available in the US, but the 'FF' stood for Ferguson Formula which was pretty much the first 4WD/AWD car sold in the world (as opposed to trucks/jeep-like vehicles). We never got the Jensen FF in the US which I believe was due to packaging issues from the 4WD system, and they couldn't get the cars to pass crash testing and/or get the steering wheels on the left side of the car. But, yes, we DID get the Jensen Interceptors in the US.

The 78 Ford Falcon was a nice car but again the clip showed a mid 70's Mustang Cobra which doesn't even look like the Falcon. I was surprised that you kept coming back to the Mustang while describing the Falcon. Also the 67 Ford Falcon's only available colors were blue and white yet you showed a gold Falcon. I love the video but try to correct the inaccuracies before premiering it.

There 's a lot of wrong info on the Cobra here. Firstly the pictures are mostly of an American Mustang Cobra which is not a Falcon, secondly, there were only 400 Australian XC Falcon Cobras built. Also, I don't believe any Falcon came with a 4 cylinder engine until the Ecoboost engines of the 2000's.

The Jensons Achilles heel is that the early ones employed Lucas (The Prince of Darkness) lighting systems.

Ford Australia XR6-TURBO (FPV Typoon)...powered by the I6-Turbo Barra Engine (strictly the Turbo Barra is called the Gull) 315KW and 345KW on overboost on low grade fuel, add 10% for 98 octane (Aussie rating). Perfect flat torque curve from 1500rpm to red-line means perfect RWD-LSD chassis control in even soaking wet conditions on the most complex of road sections. Perfect straight six smoothness. The Barra NA is dirt cheap and incredibly tough, robust, and reliable. The NA Barra engine ran the Aussie taxi fleet for decades. If you must tune it, and the perfect flat factory torque curve suggests strongly that it is a retrograde step to tune , 1000hp is a simple off the shelf solution, with 2000hp turning solutions becoming more common.

That '68 Holden Monaro is fantastic, and would've went over well in the U.S. The 327, is probably the BEST American made smallblock. I had one, You can tweak it to just about any HP rating. The" Maloo" Utes, should've been available in the U.S. '72 Holden Torana, was also awesome looking! However, it needed a hefty V8. Valiant Charger was awesome looking, but had weak motor options. The Ford Falcon XB GT is my favorite Aussie car. Some exchangeable parts with a '71-'73 Mustang, it looks like.

Facts. XRGT came in gold... Valiant charger was a 6 cylinder XU-1 never came in 4 door. Falcon never had a 4 cylinder engine.....

In actual fact there were only 400 Ford XC Cobras produced. Not the over 1000 as quoted in this video. It was produced because Ford Australia had 400 bodies of the coupe style left and were retooling for the new ford series cars the Falcon XD model, these coupe bodies needed to be sold quickly. This was a design idea by Edsel Ford II the assistant manager of Ford at the time in Broadmeadows, Australia. As a result Ford Australia produced the XC Cobra as a limited edition, each body had it's number printed on the front guards 1 through 400. And yes they were and still are an amazing piece of Oz Muscle.

Americans loved the XA XB coupes and the ford and holden utes as well. Shame Ford and GM were not switched on to the wants consumers.

A limited edition version of the Firenza was built in South Africa known as the Chevrolet Can-Am (or the Little Chev) by South Africans using the 5-liter (302ci) V8 from the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. In order for the car to qualify for racing, 100 had to be sold to the public, so only 100 were built.[4]

1970's Falcons never came out with a 4 cylinder engine, Engines variants were a 250 straight 6, 289 v8, 302 v8 or a 351 v8

The only reason people seem to think the XC Cobra is better than the XA/XB GT coupes was marketing. The Cobra engine was very restricted with the newer emissions standards and its output was way lower than the previous models. 302cui Cleveland V8 vs the 351cui 4V Cleveland V8 in the top spec XA/XB GT models. The reality of the XC Cobra is that it was a clever way for Ford to "sell off" the remaining 2 door coupe bodies it had produced in the XB era that did not finish production or sell. "Face lift" XB coupes with a dull performance, but a catchy paint job. The real king of the Aussie Falcon 2 door coupe models was the very specific and order only RP083 GT models. These models had the Phase 4 spec, but without the nametag as the "muscle car scare" of the 70s put the Phase 4 nametag in a bad light. As a result of that, there are only four official GT Phase 4 cars (the press release cars), and all of them are 4 door, but you could still order the same spec car at a dealership. I owned one of these RP083 models in my 20's. They are also a dog to drive (to quote Dick Johnson - Aussie racecar driver). Very unpredictable suddenly going from the expected slight understeer to snap oversteer quicker than you can blink. The power steering units on these models didn't help and gave little to no feedback on the direction the front wheels were pointed (numb steering). The best model to use this Falcon platform (same platform from XR to XE), was the XD and XE 351cui Cleveland S-Pack and ESP models. The steering geometry and feel was sorted, and the live axle rear end was now on a 5 link rear end and no longer flopping around on leaf springs. There's a great video of Dick Johnson's 1983 qualify lap at Bathurst on YT to gauge its performance and handling (up until about 2/3rd track anyway).

As an Aussie, I don't mind you stuffing up the names, but gee mate, you got so many things wrong. XR GT only came out in Bronze. Torana XU1 was only a 2 door, never a 4 door. The 1978 Ford Cobra had over 325HP, not 175HP. And there were only 500 built as they were the last 500 Hardtop bodies. Ford stopped making 2 doors after that. Only 300 of the 1971 XY GT HO were made. The other 1250 were just XY GT's. The GT HO was for homologation for racing.

Love most of these cars, however some of the information given is totally inaccurate, especially with the final car, the Ford Falcon Cobra. The original 1978 Australian Ford Falcon never came with a four cylinder engine, the standard engine was a 3.3 liter 6 cylinder engine and the other options were a 4.1 liter 6, and the Cobra's came with either a 302 cu in v8 and a 351 cubic inch v8.

Nothing wrong with your pronunciation of Monaro - it's an alternative. Ive heard it here in Oz as well. In the early days the Monaro region the car was named after was spelled Maneroo, and the older local yokels still say Monero. I've also heard Australians sometimes pronounce Camaro as "Camero".

If the XR GT was only available in blue or white why are we looking at a brown one? Great video, love Aussie muscle, but I feel like I'm learning wrong info.

There were only 400 made of the xc Cobra. Ford were at the end of the xa - xc model run and had 400 body shells left over that they intended to scrap. An idea was put forward to paint them in Mustang Cobra colours, put V8's in them and sell them off as XC Cobra's. Except for 19 versions that were built for racing homologation reasons they aren't considered super high performance and have only seen interest from collectors in the last 10 - 20 years.

The Ford GT Phase 3 at the time was the fastest four-door naturally aspirated production car in the world.

2:07 That Jensen Interceptor is the FF, as revealed by the double air vents behind the front wheel. It's a fairly rare (around 300 made) pioneering version of the Interceptor with four wheel drive and mechanical anti-lock brakes. It's an exceptional car and WAY ahead of its time - but regarded as too expensive, and the driveshaft to the front wheels intruded into the left footwell, making left hand drive cars impossible. That prevented export sales to Europe and the USA.

@@paulcollinson2440 well, since you want to be precise, its actually Ferguson Formula. Formula Ferguson sounds like car racing series.... One of the aspects of the Formula was torque split. For a conventional layout car, one typically rear wheel drive, a torque split 67% to the rear, and 33% to the front is usual. This is achieved using an epicyclic torque splitter. The output to the front wheels is a shaft parallel to the drive train, driven by chain, running forward to the front differential ahead of the engine and to its left. This bulky front drive train intruded too much into the left footwell for a left hand drive version of the FF to be possible. It occurred to me that a miror-image front drive train etc might have been possible, but it would have entailed much consequential change... Did you know that Freddie Dixon was heavily involved in the Ferguson Formula development? Harry Ferguson, of tractor fame provided the money and aggravation, Dixon did much of the development work.
