They came in shocking colours and rusted out not long after being released. From memory they also had a type of stripe down the side of them and ran 302 clevelands. XA in latern means

Basic falcon interior done in white with GT dash. 2 tone colour scheme like the GTs but as Bracks said not some of the be

The colour schemes were as follows : Yellow fire- with black or walnut brown trimmings, a lime gree

I honestly don't remember the colour. I'm a big fan of Ford coupes (owning two XB coupes) and I love seeing them on the road. I can't

In addition to the large bird stickers on the quarter panels there was a smaller one on the glovebox lid. They came with

The grille was blacked out similar to the GT but didn't have the driving lights. They came standard with the factory fibreglass rear louvre that was screwed to the roof and was hinged so it could be lifted up t

They are not described as rust vehicles, as most were built between May and August in 1973. (FALCON XA quote) What the hell does that give us. Falcon XA/Scooter you have me all w

They have more water traps than you can poke a stick at and some of the colours chosen were done so under a Hippie drug haze. On the other hand, if I had the money and a place to do it I woul

When you first go to build up a car the first thing you should look for is the best body you can find, with the XA it is almost impossible to find one. But if I'm looking for a XW, XY it isn't to bad. I consider mys

Read a good comment the other day, good from a far but far from good!
