Hi there,
As I have had a few requests to see the new addition to the shed from a few friends off here, thought I would throw some pictures up. This is a classic Australian icon. 1975 Ford XB Falcon 500 2 doorhardtop.

 

That is something you don't see every day
have fun with the new wheels

 

Looks like these yanks just don't appreciate some Aussie muscle

 

Ok you hooked me, now what is it? Looks like a cross between a mustang & a AMC Matador

 

I appreciate it ! Although, it creates a quandry for me...

On one hand, its a Ferd....
BUT, OTOH, its the basis for the main cars in the greatest movie ever made!

 

Love the Beast!

 

Awesome car! How about some more pic's.

 

That Aussie Ford Falcon style is more in line with the 1970-71 Ford Fairlane/Torino produced in the U.S.

 

Very nice!

Any interior pics?

 

That car is bad ***....love the wheels! Eric Bana had one of those I believe....

 

Right on. I was thinking the same thing. Nice ride, thanks for sharing.

 

Look like old school Ansen Sprints

 

To me, it's more like the 1972 Gran Torino Sport. :twocents:

It's my understanding this generation of Falcons are more stylish than the earlier ones, but the Phase III GT-HO of the previous generation is the fastest. . . correct?

 

The one from Mad Max?

 

Been outside taking interior shots. Should be on tonight.

 

Inside the wheel is USA MAGS would this be Ansens?
Would be intereting to know.

 

That ride is too cool!
Thanks for sharing.

 

Very NICE! I like all 1967- mid 1970s Ford Falcon GTs
I am big a fan of the 1971 Falcon XY GTHO Phase III, 1972Falcon XA Phase 4 (only four made), and the 1972 Charger R/T E-49!

 

USA Mags was originally started in the 60's by Parnelli Jones and Art Hale Sr., his crew chief. Ansen was one of the companies they bought up in the 70's along with several others. USA Mags Ansen version is now called the 'Indy'. Interesting to note is USA Mags also bought American Racing who became one there biggest sellers.
Art Hale Jr. reacquired USA Mags in 2010

 

Look like Ansen Sprints to me also, we would to call them jellybean wheels because of the shape of the cutouts...Tedd

 

It that a 032 Cleveland motor?

 

It is hard to get my head round that whole right hand drive idea
Cool Car
Nice addition to the fleet!

 

Yes, shes a 302 this one.

 

Your telling me?!
I drove in the U.S when visiting there in 2000.
Got used to it fairly quick. Now with the Olds I have still left hand drive on our roads, nothing to it. Only took a few hours driving to get into it. No dramas. Gotta do what you gotta do.

 

Love the look and the paint. Cool car.

 

Very cool. Every since I watched Mad Max as a kid I liked the 1972-78 Australian Falcon. These Falcons look similar to the US 1970-71 Torino. Yet from the pictures I have reviewed, only the steering wheel is the same component.

Have fun with your latest purchase!

 

Great car, needs a blower with an on-off switch...

 

Thanks for the interior pics.

Love the buckets and the gauge package.
