- The 1971 XY GTHO Falcon was one of Ford's and Australia's most iconic Muscle Cars of the period, with fierce competitors from General Motors Holden's XU1 Torana and Chrysler Australia's E49 Charger. Today's Group Nc Historic Touring Car motorsport category emulates Australia's Improved Touring Car and Series Production Car categories of the 60s and 70s, of which also inherently includes American derived cars similar to those raced in the USA Trans-Am and Nascar series during the same period such as the Boss Mustang, Z28 Camaro and Ford Galaxie. The ever-popular Gulf Western Oil Touring Car Masters series also shares DNA with this category. These iconic days of racing graced our race tracks, setting a path for what is now our mainstream premier racing category hear in Australia known as Supercars, having stemmed from the original V8 Supercars Series created in the early 90s. The difference today is that the latter shares little with its production car counterparts, where back in these early days your could virtually walk into your local car dealership and buy what was raced.

No doubt about it...these cars represent the best era of Aussie motor racing. No computers...and no mention of that individuality-killing word "parity". Just real and raw. Great one Glenn.
100% Agree! Thank goodness for historic racing...
Have to agree, Best era with cars that you could purchase at the dealership. Dang that 78 stang sound nice.
Always had a soft spot for the E49, those 265 engines used to honk.

I had to have sandbags in the boot of my charger...dam traction problems alright
a 302 Ford turning 8,300 rpm sounds magical!!!
Cant go wrong with ford.
windsors my favs very revvy engines ☺️🍻
Sounds amazingly like the Voodoo GT350 flat plane engine.
Nah, I’ve owned both. The 351 is much deeper than a late model 5.0 DOHC. The bore size is just bigger mate!
rob martin @ yeah,not inc. stroker options to boot 😉
Here in the USA where most of these cars came from they polish them and sit around in lawn chairs and look at them. Got to love those Ausies for actually racing them.
The only cars from the USA in this race were the Mustangs and the Comaros, the rest are AUSTRALIAN muscle cars, the Holden Monaro, Valiant Charger, GTHO Ford, Holden Torana are Aussie designed and built here. The Alfa and the Cortina were italian and British respectively.So not wanting to start an argument with you William, but MOST of these cars are Aussie Muscle, not USA muscle.
@blue heeler aussie charger was completely different to its USA counterpart.
Because they’re works of art
this was a time when motor racing was at its best!! put simply all brands can play!!
Agreed! Thank goodness for Historic racing.
You have the best racing videos I’ve ever seen!

Now I only wish the latest V8 s sounded like these beauties do
There has been nothing like them. Modern racing is boring. Same engines, transmissions, suspension, brakes. Taking Friday off year 12 to watch the fabulous Coca-Cola Boss 302 Mustang, GTHO's, GTR-XU1's and the 265 Hemi E38 R/T's thunder past the grandstand on open pipes was an education in itself.
Ein Traum ein Klang wie bei einem Orchester ein Zug wie bei einer Kanonenkugel einfach nur geil
Awsome footage and sounds, love these old muscle cars. 💪👍
That mustang sound reminds me of Steve McQueen driving in the movie Bullet.
The ol 265 had a powerband like no ther
They made awesome torque. :-)
From the in car soundtracks was the most sounding like an f1 engine. Straight sixes howl!
Best racing in australia
Thank God
England Forever
Proper car racing. The best
So right. Had a total gutsfull of all this computerised modern crap.
@@justintyme5053 REPORTED TO A.i!!
Great stuff Glenn! Thanks for your videos.
Glad you like them!
The Chargers definitely looked the best on the track, superb styling - closely followed by the Mustangs. But I'm biased . The Falcons Monaro and Torana just don't look as good.
And those screaming sixes !!
Loo
magnificent
I smiled when i started to watch these cars BUT it became wider when the bloke said 410Hp from the Charger. V8's snarl. Vunderbar, but the Charger has a unique howl.
Ok anyone going to mention that yellow Camaro started from last 5:14 and at 9:12 had taken the lead from the Mustang .....
That’s because he didn’t. The mustang was about to lap him
Beautiful cars 🚗
Fantastic
These are cars that made motor sport worth watching. Pure music and adrenaline. E racing.....yawn.
E racing can be filmed without a microphone. Back to silent films.
Boring....Like watching music video with volume switched off.
Love it
I won't say how many ( our version Mercury Capri's ) I've owned. but I would love to have my Bumble Bee yellow and black back again. I'm considering the rectangle head lamps for my Cougar now. Fabrication should be a challenging. Any thoughts would be helpful?
good
Really enjoy all these cars. Just wondering, all the right side driving Mustangs, did you go to hydralic clutches or cable?
Wow!

Noice! 😎🤙
Dick Johnson does build the best 351 Cleveland better that Moffat
No way...... nothing better than an american......
for what?
Shannon’s really need a better interviewer doing these events
Shannon's?
I see pony cars all over. No muscle anywhere.
In Australia Detroit didn't give us all the fruit that the US got.
Vintage Racing ???? That is not a VINTAGE RACE CAR, ???????
We generally call it Historic racing here in Aus, and in US many call it Vintage racing. At the end of the day the term Vintage can be applied to any era if it was long ago.
