    Number one should’ve been the A9X Torana hatchback! It won the 1979 Bathurst 1000 by 6 laps!

    The XC Cobra was actually a way of Ford Australia to get rid of the last coupe bodies, yes there rare, but also had a 4.9L (302) engine.

    Still wrong pictures, the charger sportsman had a 265 hemi six, the VH Valiant 770 SE E55 had the 340 V8, the charger was a coupe on 106 inch wheel base the Valiant Regal hardtop on a 115 inch wheel base was the 2 door hardtop NOT the charger ,

    GTHO phase III, you didn't mention it was the WORLDS fastest product 4 door car at the time, and it had a 351, we never called then a 5.8. and I can vouch they went faster then 141mph, my dad bought one new.

      @@davidhardy503 Sports Car World magazine hit the engine cutout at 6150 rpm to give the speed as an actual 141 mph. This was on the Hume Highway returning to Melbourne from Albury. Any car exceeding the cutout may have been showing speedo error or had the limiter modified.

      The speedo needle hit the pump stop, and it was as it left the factory.
      Dad kept snapping engine mounts, Ford factory warranty fix? Chain from the engine to the chassis. Dad traded the Phase III in for a Fairlane that was fitted with the Phase IV good bits, once again I can vouch for the speedo going to the needle stop, way past 140mph.
      Don't care what you say or the magazine writer's say. I was there more than once.

    I had a VH Charger. It only had the 215 but it still got along fine.
    I turned it into the first Valiant Charger convertible. I left the rear window and surrounds in to look a bit like a Ferrari of the time. A few years later I saw a later model in a showroom in Melbourne done exactly the same.

    Heres some advice for the channel, its sounds absolutely horrible when youre using A.I to narrate your videos and you use acronyms in the script. The A.I cannot differentiate the acronyms and it sounds stupid. No offence cuz lots of channels use A.I now, buts its so damn lazy and cheap. Id rather listen to an actual person who is enthusiastic and excited to narrate to me.

    1974 XA GTHO Phase 4 should be 1 as the aussie government at that time declared it was way too fast for Australian roads. 4 were made 1 in the Ford museum in Geelong, l've been told. Rumours have, it was a Ferrari eater.

    This video is all over the place.
    When it starts raving about the '69 Chrysler Valiant Pacer right at the beginning, it shows V8s whilst describing the 225 6 cylinder slant style engine.
    But also in the video, while outlining the same car, they show you a '68 Dodge Charger and a Valiant Charger and a Mustang GT350.
    And we're less than 2 minutes in.
    I'm thinking if you're trying to specify a vehicle that Americans won't be able to perceive, show them the vehicle you're talking about.
    At least show Australian cars.
    I'm not even Australian.
    I come from New Zealand.

    I'm over you yanks talking about our cars, get your shit right, the E55 was actually slower that the E38, which was a six cylinder.
    You want to talk about Aussie cars? Talk to an Aussie first.
    And why show a yank LTD when talking about our landu? It was a cross between OUR LTD and an XB hardtop.
    Get your facts right before embarrassing all yanks.

    This video is an embarrassment to watch as an Australian growing up during the years of our legendary cars. The miss mash of stories and pictures is pathetic. Simple word pronunciation is as pathetic as the other terrible aspects. This video doesn’t even acknowledge the 1971 Ford Falcon GT-HO Phase III as clearly the number one prized collectable Australian muscle car with the highest auction price in recent history. The Falcon Cobra was just a marketing exercise to sell the last 400 two door hardtop body shells - even the video shows the 4.9 litre badge of the 302 ci engine.

      Absolutely. I only bothered to watch the first few cars and most of the specs and info were completely incorrect. 340 V8 was not in the Sportsman.. it was in the E55. The Sportsman was a limited run in I think 3 or 4 colours (red, white and blue from memory). It even an E37/38/49 as a Sportsman… crap video from someone who know shit about Aussie muscle cars!!!
