Great Vid. I guess I am one of the lucky ones. My first car which I still have is the XB GT Coupe - bought it in 1991 for 3k. Got told by the old man that I was an idiot and it's a waste of money and time. Now my missus knows how much they are worth and wants me to sell it..... I know which one I am keeping!
Hahah Hahhah that’s hilarious Trav
Yeah like they say it’ll be a shame to see her go hahaha .
Thanks for watching mate and look after that GT . And the wife of coarse hahah
🍺🍺👍
With the bobcat and all the F series trucks in the background it’s like I’m watching a video in rural America not Australia! I love it!
Thanks for watching mate I really appreciate it.
The bobcat is the best shed tool I have hahhah
And yep I love my Fseries Ford. Daily drive is an ol 2002 Dual cab
Keep watching for the F350 Fake (faux) patina paint episode coming up shortly
Awesome to know that it is going to be saved.
It is mate
Cheers for watching
🍺🍺👍
That old girl certainly would have a story to tell or stories sliding around the paddock back in the day, probably pictures somewhere
@@petergill8819 🍺🍺👍
Crazy how times change, I have cut better cars up and taken them to the tip in the 90's. Can't believe that it still runs that well.
Yep I hear ya mate
We had a few paddock bashers that we destroyed and then pushed into gullies as land fill that were better than some of the cars we try to restore theses days. If only we knew !
@@backshed5295 Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Bought an XA Coupe for the electric window mechanisms and wiring then cut the car up and scrapped it, I did save the doors and boot lid though. Shameful to think about it now.
Amen mate. If only we could go back
Good on ya for taking on this project! Looks like you have your work cut out for you!👍🚘
Done the same mate, who knew!!
Only just discovered your Video & I'm glad I did, it's good that you're saving some of the old Classics even if they are rattling pieces of crap, these old Cars have so much style & class & they are so much better looking than the new crap being sold these Days 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yeah I hear ya mate
Cheers 🍺👍
That looks like fun. Thanks for the video.
🍺🍺👍
My stepdad had a genuine GS Coupe that he was restoring when he was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer. He did some restoration of it, but he got bad and ended up selling the car. We've still got a 2V 250 head in the shed, sans values and springs. They are a beautiful car.
Sure are mate
🍺👍
Carried it away like a secret ufo
Hidden under a cover lol
Coupes were so sweet
Hahhaha 🍺🍺👍
oh yeah... and by the tin she'd way
we're having a hot summer in the hottest place in Canada... actually we're 150 kilometres northbound Osoyoos which is hotter than an Aussie winter... how do you enjoy the 40° weather... even in the August winter down under 5he southern hemisphere?! btw,
nice cars don't rust much unless their were found in a billy bong yeah?! 👍
Hahaha , we still have plenty of rust down here mate, our coastal stuff still hates salt like everywhere else . Cheers for watching mate🍺🍺👍
Farken love this video specially when your going round the drive way.. "thats not sketchy at all"😂😂😂
Hahaha cheers mate
🍺👍
Glad you moved that one on 😄👍🏻👍🏻
XC Falcon, XC rectangular headlight set up on the radiator support panel, rear side indicators, Crossflow motor.
.
That is an amazing find! Rough as it is, its well worth saving. We have saved far worse from the tip on our "No Falcon Left Behind" series. Your vids are amazing mate! Keep up the good work. Subbed as soon as we found your channel!
Thanks mate
I’ll check out the No falcons left behind.
Any chance you could contact me via Facebook (Backshed)
Or Instagram Backshedmick I have a movie car coming up and wouldn’t mind speaking to you about it. Thanks
@@backshed5295 No worries. Feel free to check out all the cool things we do. I'm catching up on your past videos, and having a grand time! Great stuff!
Oooh man! I love this body style Falcon, epic score regardless of conditions 👍🏻🖤🏴☠️
It's so cool.
🍺👍
Reminds me of a mint 302 GS XC Wagon I had has a teenager. Can’t remember why I got rid of it (I think I traded it for a (very) rotten Sundowner). Just another car I wish I’d kept, probably best not to think about it 😂
Hahah yeah mate we all have those though of the cars we should have kept ! Back when there were worth nothing.
Cheers for watching mate
🍺🍺👍
A bit of bog and a lick of paint would do wonders.
Hahhhahha yep 👍
I think you made the right decision in passing it on thats one hell of a restoration nightmare.
Yep I agree
Definitely restorable but the time it would take I just don’t have.
Parts car
They were shocking rust buckets worst I had was a XA sedan if it rained you got wet from roadspray, had more luck with XBs, on the plus side theres plenty of patch and repop panels for them, Falcon by Ikea.
Hahaha won’t be long mate and I reckon we will be able to buy a complete aftermarket body .🍺🍺👍
This rig is mint absolute dream car 😍👌
🍺🍺👍
I wish the XA COUPEGUY could save this one💪
Love too see that too
Falcon 👍👏👏👏👏👏 desde 🇲🇽 saludos
Mad Max 😜
🍺👍
I love this car. Fix it good and it will repay you!
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Definitely deserve all them cold snacks after the yards you put in bloke.
🍺🍺👍
Ha ha I can see why you didn’t open the doors she would have broken in half keep up the good work mate 👍
🍺🍺👍
You make Derek look classy :)
Hahha
I’m not sure how you mean for me to take that but I’m taking it as a complement! Hahahah
Thanks for taking the time to watch .
Honestly can't believe you drove that death trap
Hahhahah
Yep it was sketchy
True story. Mad Max was mostly made in areas I lived and worked. Got stopped on Farm Rd Werribee Vic by a guy who told us we couldn't go through as they were making a "Major motion picture." I asked who was in it, he said Mel Gibson. My reply "Never heard of him." Shortly after the bikes came passed followed by Gibson in the coupe. My God it was a P.O.S.
Hahhahah awesome.
Thanks for watching Dale , as you saw mine was a POS too hahah.
🍺👍
BS
@@lukewarm7744 Name explains your attitude. And it's true.
@@dalewyatt1321 Why were you on Farm Rd ? How would you know anything about Mel Gibson back then? You're just repeating that t quote about Mel.How old were you in 1978 and what time of the year did this occur ? Luke warm enough for ya brolio ;
@@lukewarm7744 Ask mummy & daddy about the Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works (now, Melbourne Water.) I worked for them (instrument tech) on everything from fresh water to sewerage so occasionally went to the Werribee sewerage farm ON FARM ROAD. I didn't know who Gibson was, I asked the traffic stopping guy who was in it. No one knew who he was. I also worked at the Spotswood Pumping Station which you might know as the Halls of Justice. My age? None of your business little troll.
the fact that she runs 🤣
the mighty Xflow !!!
🍺👍
good shit mate having a go
Thanks Brett
Save from rotting away so I’m taking a win on that one.
Astill design is the best place to get your coupe panels
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Rob a bank first or cash in your Meth factory.The bloke is a crook
I hear they are good parts
16:27 🤟😂
Awesome
The mighty falcon coupe. you just got a new subscriber! Can't wait to see your progress with this. Best wishes.
He had to sell it sadly
🍺👍
She will scrub up alright mate . Beauty it was just up the road
🍺👍
Yep discretion better part of valour on XB .... EH 🙏
👍🍺
Hey mate that was a cool find. New to your channel as for getting the panels there are a couple of company's out there. Me I hand shape rust repair panels at the moment for HD HR Holden's and slowly moving into other Holden's to.
Keep in contact mate I have a HR wagon rescue up shortly and my Big Block Chev powered EH Sedan soon too
@@backshed5295 oh ok mate cool will do
That's the sort if car they should be doing yet another Mad Max movie car to, not good examples as a lot of overseas buyers were butchering.
Can’t agree more
The back half is a very late XB or XC because it has horizontal rear side repeaters just in front of the rear bumper.
Dunno why but I keep thinking it looks like an xa rear?
🍺👍
Sharing this around fir sure!
Up ya you bloody legend absolute bloody legend mate. Keep on keeping with the Aussie goodness "you'll go far quick" look forward to future content.
Thanks man
Aussie icon coming up soon. Xy falcon!
@@backshed5295 bulk love 😍
That's that aussie goodness I was on about. Sorry bloke just got on the interwebs! Look forward to now watching today's vid cheers mate 👍
That things got more holes than the womens hospital!
Hahahhahhah
What ever happened to her Mick? I've an XA in resto, same colour as the xa gt you showed in the video. Summer gold
I did sell it mate but it’s getting restored.🍺👍
I wonder if the restoration was done.
Yes mate it is getting restored, not by me obviously but its been saved🍺🍺👍
cool vid mate, should have sold the golf buggies and keep the coupe
🍺🍺👍
Yep, Mad Max Fury Road
🍺🍺👍
I would like this video Mick, but I couldn't bring myself to ruin the 666 for the coupe.
? I’m not sure I know what your saying?
Hahahahha I see it now mate yeah Hahha. 🍺🍺👍👍
The like numbers are at 666 hahah
@@backshed5295 the likes are on 666 for the devils number which is a perfect number to represent the Mad Max heritage these coupe are now linked with
@@backshed5295 many beers and cheers. Enjoy your content and explanations. Hopefully the XF I got shipped up from Brisbane to Darwin arrives in the next few days so I can dig in.
I just subbed, it would be pretty cool to do the petrol tanks in the back, just a idea though
🍺🍺👍
there should be a kit car market for some of these old cars
There is so many rust repair panels available now that I think it’s not far away that you will be able to buy a complete replacement body
👍🍺🍺
Ford fan here click,, a new sub.
Thanks bud
Keep watching there’s an Xy stroker swap coming soon
You will regret it like me ,you got the knowledge and experience to save it to me wrong move it is what it is
Cheers for the comment and watching mate
🍺👍
🍺👏👍🏻
Thanks Tim
That was my first video so I’ve learnt a lot about editing etc since then but that’s for commenting and watching mate
🍺🍺👍
Not every day you get to drive a coop in your life
@@petergill8819 🍺👍
Can't keep them all. Some must go so you can spend time on others.
100% right Stew . That Couple needed someone who loves 2door falcons and has a couple of years to donate to the restoration.
Thanks for watching Stew.🍺👍
Graham xa coupe guy needs to try and save
🍺🍺👍
your intro is very loud mate
Mate I’m only new to editing I’ll see what I can sort on the next 1. Thanks for watching
rip my speakers
Just turn it into a rusted out Mad Max replica car, but put a V8 in it. Take out that pathetic inline six banger. Greetings from the U.S.
🍺👍
I thought my xy was rusted that thing make me optimistic
Mate there is heaps of rust replacement panels available these days, don’t give up on her just yet.
How good is the 250 x flow....
Tuff Motor
Took a bit of lovin but I got her to fire 🔥
That was just too fked yhat one
@@mcmurdomchugh yep
Any update on the coupe? :)
It sold at the end of that video mate
They are restoring it to a mad max clone car.🍺👍
Sorry, just curious on how far along it is :) great videos mate and thanks very much for the response :)
Save it if u can
🍺🍺👍
I guess it's kinda like a 3/4 interceptor?
🍺👍
Even in 2022 they still range in value between $133,000 - $350,000 so it's definitely well worth restoring right.
Sure is mate 🍺🍺👍
Who will pay more than $50,000 for these in 10 years time? No one because todays generations think these cars are shitboxes, slow, rusted, poor handling, shit brakes etc etc. House price over 2,000,000 in any Sydney suburb virtually and people with serious money want prestige and luxury and A/C. So many muscle cars for sale, not one shred of interest in any of them and those who love these cars are so far away from ever owning anything, so if you own one, sell it fast because even another mining boom won't save this market. The other elephant in the room is the amount of rust ANY 50 year old two door car has and if you think its a 'clean example' your deluded. These coupes were poorly assembled from factory and have steel plates welded here and there to add some strength and integrity to the design which it shares various body styles with. If the repairs are shit, it just adds more money and time to repairs. No upload since? No fucking surprise there buddy as you bought another shit box full of rust which is worthless, being a Falcon 500 at best. The market has finished for good, suck it up buddy cause the generation of muti cultural Australians have ZERO interest in what is a small culture to begin with. Think about it. The Aussie muscle car scene is fucked. Get out whist you can as no cunt will spend a fucking cent on these cars ever again.
Please tell me an XB coupe is on your bucket list. Keep hold of it until the money is right or you get a better example
That was a while ago mate , episode 1 🍺🍺👍she’s being restored .
Still worth 50k as is with prices the way theyre heading which is north.
lol if it was a GT, this is a fair basket case.
@@guntherhunter5231 when panel and paint is done 150k youre out of touch with current prices
@@LxToranaHatchy720hp mate I watch the prices daily, this is literally 2 different cars welded together and a giant hole in the roof that wasn't for a sunroof. This was not a 50 thousand dollar shell.
@@guntherhunter5231 perfect candidate for yet another Mad Max mobile for an overseas idiot.
@@LxToranaHatchy720hp 150k......left or right hand
18:40 sounds like my dads coupe lol
Such a nice sound
🍺🍺👍
🍺🍺🍺
I wonder how many of these Coupes have been ruined by making them into Mad Max replicas ... some will have never been finished when they realised what a piece of dung they looked like.
It's just a movie prop with a fake supercharger guys
Christ mate wow . This one was a bit passed restoring so i reckon its the best thing it can become , if i didnt find it , it would have returned to the earth as dust 🍺🍺
Any updates?
Mate I haven’t heard from the new owners for ages but I’ll see what I can find out. 👍
Too rusty for me
You must have been well lubricated to buy it
Might make some good yard art
Hahhaha
Yeah really well lubed !
She is getting restored mate.
If its metal you can fix it
Amen brother!
Gt's are over rated build a street legal mad Max interceptor way shits going could come handy lol
🍺🍺👍
How much are these things worth in that condition
i'd say 3-5 thousand
🍺👍
@@ReinventingTheSteve try adding another zero lol, complete fkn rust buckets no motors and people are asking 30-50 thousand for not even a rolling shell
See she didn't want to go. friend had one kicking my self i didnt buy it
🍺🍺👍
What rust ?????? Lol. A heap of $ & time will fix it. XA XB XC HARDTOPS RULE. Classic not Plastic. Howard Astill for your rust repair panels mate.
🍺🍺👍
You still have the Xy ?
Hell yeah mate
It’s in the background of the coupe video and the f100 videos. It’s coming up next with a engine swap. 410ci Clevo stroker
There's no such thing as a bad Falcon coupe - or any other Ford for that matter.
🍺👍
GOOD VIDEO BUD, BUT WHY DOES THE MUSIC HAVE TO SOOOOOOOOO LOUD?
🍺🍺
When you say ‘frame’s good ‘ you don’t mean it’s been cut in half and re joined do you?
Just ment it’s not full of rust mate.
