very nice collection :thumbsup: how comes they have uk

reg plates on some of them?

 

The XA (Blue on White) is still in the UK. The XC GXL (4 Door Sedan) is back over here in Australia with me but the photos were taken with the UK plates on and the XC Fairmont Coupe is the one I use the most.

 

All three will be in the UK next year and I am probably taking the XA to Goodwood. The XA is a replica of the 1973 Bathurst Winning car driven by Alan Moffat and should look like this

We are thinking ofputting all of the racing livery onto it but I'm not sure!

 

What do you lot think?

Ahhh, kk then. Not the one he thought :lol::lol:

 

There was one a while ago local to me, my dad helped the guy get it runnin. Soon after the guy put it up for sale, and offered it to my dad really cheap (cant remember how much :oops: ) My dad didnt buy it and is now kickin himself wishin he did, cus even then it was worth quite alot here and in Oz :ykt:

 

He thought it was tht one becuse it was pretty much exactly the same as yours, interior, colour, wheels etc. :mrgreen::thumbsup::beer:

Great cars, especially the red XC coupe!!! 8)8)8) What's the difference between falcon and a fairmont??? Equipment only or something else???

 

Thanks.

The Fairmont is an upgraded Falcon.

The main differences being trim.

The Fairmont got things like a clock, T-Bar Auto (if Auto was specified) additional Chrome trim around the wheel arches, along the front of the bonnet and guards, around the rear quarters and along the tops of the doors, additional carpet along the bottom of the door trim and rear interior lights in the C pillar. There are a few other little subtlties.

The XC Fairmont got Rectangular Headlights opposed to round for the Falcon 500 and Dual for the GS Falcon.

 

Basically the Falcon and Fairmont are the same car just one is up market and higher spec.

 

The XC Fairmont GXL was Ford's way of getting around the GT issue. My GXL is a GT Power Pac i.e. 351 Cleveland, 9" 4 Wheel Disc etc.
