- In this episode of In The Pits we caught up with Terry Lawlor, owner of the Bob Morris XD Falcon. It's a car with Bathurst 1000 history and still racing competitively in Australia.
Thanks to the support of Bosch Motorsport Australia take a look under the skin of this great piece of Motorsport history.
Bloody slow Commodore in the way lol
Those Bathurst Clevos sound incredible.
Yep 5.0l commodore that the 5.8l ford couldn't catch on the straights.
@@mrcollins1561 nah mate the commodore kept blocking him. 👍
Damn that Cleveland sounds so good
Definitely a car that stood out back in the day.
Great to see it running around 👍
A Cleveland symphony 🎼🎵
Magic sounding Cleveland!
That is so bloody beautiful. brings a tear to my eye..
Modern rubber on cars like this must be a huge gain. Super cool
Modern old style rubber though for the class, just as it was back then.
Awesome stuff, I remember that car like it was yesterday👍
Amazing sound.
Yep. Those were the days. What a fantastic car and video.
Looking and sounding great😊
Car looks great and sounds great
Ahhh, Jesus, just listen to that thing! I’m very happy to know someone like this is liking after this history and keeping faithful. Keep up the good work
Gets juices flowing watching this. Don’t get same feelings since.
Moffat also co-drove this car at Bathurst 1980, after his Federation XD Falcon expired on the first lap. Great race memories and cars.
Looks very similar to a European Granada mk2
Yeah its like the put the Mk2 through a photocopier at 120% & the XD was born. Both great looking cars but the Aussies got much better engine choices than us.

Yep... We got the big ol' bent eight boat anchor which was often murdered with ugly clusters of polution control clutter & a pathetic 2 barrell carb. Thankfully, our then current & generous & curiously liberal Group C rules allowed staggering engine improvements. These old Group C rocketships often churned out 4, 5 & 600 Brake HorsePower & this particular car campaigned by Bob Morris was a front runner with a very highly developed 351 Cleveland donk. None of these local Australian versions of the "Granada" came with hopeless 4 cylinder powerplants. The common & most popular engine in our "XD FALCONS" was a 250 cubic inch inline 6 with a cast iron crossflow head & it was also choked half to death with a piddly little carburettor.
Man I could watch this all day ,looks and sounds great ,out of the way Commie:)
What a mint car and mint sounding car
Love the xd falcons
I so want to drive that XD
Leistung??!! Was waren die damaligen Vorgaben die der Wagen erfüllen muss um in dieser Klasse C zu Starten?
Hört sich voll Brutal an.Gefällt mir extrem.Hatte früher den 6Zyl Ford Taunus, allerdings nicht diese Rückleuchten.Meine waren viel kleiner und fast dreieckig Bj bzw Ez1/79 ,🇩🇪
Great video ....
Is there a better sound than 351 cubic inches of Cleveland's Finest at Full-Noise?
355 stroker,340 mopar,289 Ford,302 Boss,426 Hemi KB ,LS3 and even a 192 with a 3/4 racer cam fed by 3 webbers
Good stuff hope ya got spare door handles with it
I was wondering if this car is still original specification to the 1980 rules ?
Where can we see it?
Fark Yeah!
How much hp was the 351 making for Bathurst in those days?
Steve Masterton's XE falcon made 530 hp with factory cast iron intake and two side draught Weber's on a fabricated long runner adapter ....
Dick Johnson said his 1980/81 cars made around 400hp.
The group C 308 Holden made 440 hp (flywheel) with a pair IDF Weber's , seen the dyno sheets from Neil Burns ....
Thank you all 👍
They're not great lookers, but they more than make up for it with the sound they make.
Music
Aero of a brick 🧱 😂 but great sound
removeable steering wheel in 1980 hmmmmm really
Windsor or Cleveland all 351 What was the difference between the 2...Mount point of the Ignition coils!! The XD is the best F the rest!!!
