    You rarely see XA's and XB's on the street these days, really nice to see a super clean one like this getting used properly and not hidden away in a garage under a car cover.

      Omg id be petrified of it being stolen! I mean they are worth as much as Ferraris and are a hell of a lot rarer! Mate these cars are art! And I would only drive it under police guard in some spots!

      You can have one in the USA. Just look at a 1970-71 Ford Torino. Same car with a different front clip and different tail lights. The USA got three different headlight treatments, all different from the flat front of the Australian version.

    Looks Very Nice. Hard to go past an XAGT Coupe, my favourite Aussie Muscle Car. I agree with others about the wheels, too big diameter wise for me. Must be the lighting but it doesn't look Track Red to me, the XY colour, Red Pepper from memory was the XA colour, looks more like that. The GT had the moulding along the top of the door and side window, just finishes it off a bit better, and what a pity it's an auto, a Muscle Car needs a manual. A 6 speed Tremec would do just nicely I think.

      Thanks for the info regarding early 60s Chevy cars in Australia. Also, I really like the looks of the two door XA and XB Falcolns. Do you happen to know if these cars shared any sheet metal in common with the US 1971 Ford Torino? To my inexpert eye both the roof line and the window line look very similar to the 71 Torino, and I'm wondering if the side panels are the same as the Torino?

    In America the laws are made to save old classic cars in Australia the laws make it almost impossible to drive an older car, thats why you dont see any cars over 15 years old its worse in New Zealand,a great example is you can buy any car in the USA and drive it for 20 days plateless no matter what condition so you can get it fixed in Australia you have to go to licensing centre wait in line to pay a fortune to get a certificate that lets you drive it for 24hrs but even with that certificate a cop can pull you over and decide the cars too dangerous and red sticker it and you will need it towed, but that australias government,banned BB Guns Airsoft, paintball, nicotine, certain slingshots, flick knives butterfly knives, though they are cool with kid killing kinder surprises
