Having had an XB GT coupe I'd never say they were easy to drive or that he's not sporting a set to throw that beautiful XA around like that, but he was being pretty raggy with the throttle on the hillclimb stage at the start...
I cringe when I see these great behemoths rolling all over the road. Guys lament these old cars and although I love them, they were psycho cars to drive. Makes you appreciate the old days of Bathurst and of course the guy in this video weaving around gum trees! Admittedly, this one drives pretty well.
So much better than bogans thinking they're tough hooning all over public roads in Commodores.
LoL...Yes, as a kid I loved the look of them and of course still do. Every time I look at my XB Coupe, I drool over the sexy lines it has. I love the way the rear window is concave. Yes must have been designed by a supreme force of hoon Aliens. I have had my 74 model since 1984...25 years.
...some bare steel from chipped paint when they bashed it out for wheel and tyre clearance from corrosion no doubt and at 1.57 when it turns and the sun shines along the body you can even SEE the dent in the right rear quarter infront of the rear wheel. open your eyes and ears morons
and it does crash just like the title says. the crash happens between seconds 21 and 22 on the right rear side of the vehicle, the bang on impact is quite audible , you can also clearly see and hear the moment it starts sliding and the impact even better when the video is slowed and replayed, then at second 58 on the second day of racing and each time it shows the right side of the vehicle after that you can also clearly see what looks like blue tape around the wheel arch protecting....
Rare bird indeed built for one purpose...TO RACE at Bathurst. I owned one in 78 but the rust got into it so I sold it......GTs cost squillions now IF you can find one..
mate that is a beast ma dad used 2 hav one only had a 302 in it but was highly worked it pulled 11 sec standin quarters it was a beast. LAST OF THE V8's!!!
Nice car but why on earth would you want to risk writing off something like a GT Coupe, these things are rare these days need to be preserved...but thats my opinion
no fukn crash ay quiet dissapointed ... oh well i might just go and hav to film my own crash in my mitsubishi delica. i have hell done it up it now has a turbo and a searchlight. if you would like pics please email me otherwise look up
"mitsubishi delica burnouts and drifts" thanks guys
that thing is sick as love it must have a few horsies to move along as quick as that.. have to say the XA XB XC hardtops are the sexiest looking 70's cars

Very nice bit of filming at 1:22 to 1:38 in particular.
Great to be reminded of these old beasts.

Classic muscle, but what a great wallowing hippo by todays standards, an absolute rolling walrus.
Better to just sit in it and listen to the sweet noise.

It is good to see run hard. I love my XB Coupe. The XA-XC series coupes are the nicest looking cars Ford ever built.

They inspired my love of cars as a child. They look TOO good, like they were designed by a superior race of aliens or something.

if that was a new falcon that little bump probably would of caused a write off. XA - XC, best cars ever created.
