Ford’s XA-XC Falcon range represented a golden era for the local branch of the global giant, which enjoyed huge success on the track and in the showroom.
In a feature on the series we say: “As Australian as the Outback was one description of the XA Falcon when it rolled onto our roads in March 1972, a dozen years after the Falcon nameplate first appeared on an American-based sedan in Ford showrooms among the Customlines, Zephyrs and Anglias.
“The third-generation Falcon was significant as it was successful.
“Not only was the XA the first ‘home grown Falcon’ it also revived the hardtop, something that wasn’t planned when the project commenced in 1968.”
This example is very much in family spec, with 4.1lt straight six with three-speed auto.
What makes it special is the seller says it is in very good survivor shape, including a number of GXL options.
It’s with Pennant Hills Auto in Sydney, priced at $60,000.
