Hey Buddy. f n a!!!! As a proud Aussie, mate one of our classics could not have fallen into better hands : ). Your attention to detail but also appreciation of one of our classic cars over here is muchly appreciated. The hardtops are as rare as rocking horse poo these days. Keep up the exceptional work buddy. BTW I own a 68 Mustang coupe, and I have enormous appreciation for American metal now.

A friend of mine in Canada built one like that for a guy who wanted to try that as well. I believe it is currently for sale now. I personally believe the closest American car to the Aussie Falcon is the 1972-73 Gran Torino. There are creases in the quarter panels that are not on the Falcon but the siloutte of the cars is pretty similar. Also, the Maverick 4 door is pretty close to the yellow Interceptor that Max drives at the beginning of the movie, though the front end is very different.

Your engine sounds really good. It is along the lines of a lot of Aussie builds and they really know how to build this engine there. The rims are basically "wagon wheel" style with 8 spokes. The orginal movie rims were "Sunrasia" rims. They originally had sharp corners to the triangles but that provided a place where cracks could start. That is why this style of rim now has rounded corners.

that steering wheel is a formuling aftermarket item. Popular choice in the eighties/nineties in Australia. Congrats on the car. Grew up around them.

Thanks a lot. Very cool that you got to sit in THE car. Funny how the real car is so inaccurate, but it's got all of the history and when it was restored there weren't such great info resources like there are now, so it's understandable. I knew the car was up for sale, I didn't know where it went to after that, so thanks for that info as well.

Very nice. Grown with these cars. My dad had a XB sedan 302 Cleveland. Also the XA was the last of the non pollution models.
