Classic workhorse
Ford’s XA-XC series Falcons were a major break-away for the Australian end of the company, becoming its first fully locally-designed cars.
In a feature on the XA-XC series, former Ford staffer told us: “Setting up the plants for manufacturing of the original Falcon was a huge exercise but in terms of model design and development the XA was really Fords biggest undertaking, as from 1960 we had been taking the American Falcon and modifying it for local conditions.
“When it came to the XA there is no longer an American-based Falcon as the US moved to the Torino, which didn’t lend itself to having a Falcon version.”
This XC van in NSW is running a 250-cube straight six with three-speed auto and comes with an RWC, bucket seats and the rear tailgate option.
The seller says it’s complete and original with around 243,000km on the odo, and overall is tidy and could do with some attention in a couple of areas. It’s on the market for $34,800.
