6T9rustang 11 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 Had the privelige of heading down to the old mans friends ford museum and having a gork at this coupe. Had to wipe the tears out of my ears and the dribble off my chin. Nut and bolt restoration!:tongue_smilie: Also got handed the keys to the Cobra and took it for a spin.

coz 108 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 Is that a rare car down under? What year and engine? Looks like it could be a Mad max car. Were the Mad Max cars Falcons? Always liked the movie but never really followed up on the car models. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6T9rustang 11 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 Is that a rare car down under? What year and engine? Looks like it could be a Mad max car. Were the Mad Max cars Falcons? Always liked the movie but never really followed up on the car models. Yep very rare now, they made three models in that style falcon coupe the models were XA 1972-'73, XB 1973-'76 and XC 1976-'78. They all ran 351 4V clevo's, FMX or Toploader and 9inch rears.:tongue_smilie: Mad MAX's car was the XC with a custom front end and spoilers/flares fitted. I took these pics of the original car at a show in Perth. I used to own the yellow XB '73 falcon. God I wish I had of kept her. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thunder Kiss 13 Report post Posted June 13, 2008 Sweet looking coupe GT350. It looks like an early 70's XA GT model, not a Cobra. Cobras were all 1978 XC models. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
