No, first HO was 1969, supercar scare was 1972. They had to give the homologated version a name of some type. It's true they wanted to distract from the extra HP so used 'handling option' but it's also true that handling was improved for the HO.
Some will say the Hoey III produced closer to 400 BHP. It also took the title of the world's fastest four-door sedan from the 350 SEL 6.3 Mercedes Benz. The stunning thing about the E49 is that it was a six taking on V8s- and beating them!
who ever wrote this crap obviously doesnt know shit about aussie cars pretty sure the bolwell and pervis cars should be on the list too (even though they were low production or kit cars)
at the time of production, the Falcon GT-HO Phase 3 was the fastest four door sedan on the planet. fastest 0 - 100 kph, fastest 1/4 mile and highest top speed.
But the E49 was the quickest muscle car in 🇦🇺 over the quarter and to 100 mph but hey it was a 6 . 👍🏻🇦🇺✌️quicker then any 350 chev or 351 at this time and only a six 265 cube . Actually The VG pacer speedo was near 100% correct compare to GTR or XU1 which read way over wrong to make you think your doing the Ton or over but you weren’t 🙀.
I grew up with most of the oldies , except the charger , although i did own a big chrysler cm wagon of the era ,, my favorites where the xr 289 , the xw/xy gt models , and the early monaros , the old school cars had more character than the later electronic models imo , but taking nothing away from them , they where awesome too .. monaros, gt`s , toranas , chargers cruising around the burbs ..... 60`s and 70`s ...... good times .
The cars of the 70's bring back memories. Shame they had a yank doing the descriptions , couldn't they find an Aussie to do it . I think it should have been seeing as they're Australian cars .
It saddens me that GM mismanaged themselves straight into bankruptcy and killed Holden and Pontiac, but kept fecking Buick to sell to the Chinese. And they're killing off the Camaro too, so the only performance cars will be the Corvette and whatever Cadillac thinks will draw people out of BMW and Audi, but won't, until they just go all electric.

The w557 was a lump of lard, it made 550hp at the wheels and you could modify a regular xr6 turbo (the shit version of the F6) and spend 5k on mods and blow it away.
@AndyViant no shit sherlock. 557kw is at the crank and a man who had his w557 hsv dynoed got 550hp at the wheels. Why don't you read my comment again and this time read it properly instead of thinking you know everything.
jokes on you why would u bother to import that to america with their laws on imports? in fact from my understanding u cant even register and drive that over there for another 10 years or something.
Xr gt was not 15.8 on the quarter it was lucky to get a high 16 with a hurricane behind it. The phase 1 out accelerated the phase 3 until about 90 mph it had the best throttle response of all the muscle cars in australia. Similar to the 6 cylinder charger that was a beast. All aussie muscle cars are beautiful. The newer cars are not muscle cars they are beyond boring
You’re wrong on the xr gt. I Have one and will do a 15 no prob. Had an xw stock 302 with a 4 Barrel and it ran low 15s at earthen creek. About same hp.
I owned a 1967 Datsun 2000 (SR311) sports car. Twin double throat Solex carburetors (Weber copies) and a 30/70, 70/30 camshaft as standard. It had a top speed of 130mph! It had a 5 speed gearbox and would do 60mph in SECOND gear, 80mph in Third! So much for the Falcon GT of the day!
@@ROTAR666 The video quotes the top speed of the 1967 Falcon GT as 121MPH. The Datsun I owned had a top speed of 135MPH, I can confirm it would do it! the Falcons were great cars, no doubt the V8,s accelerated much more quickly. I am just making the point that there were other in-expensive fast cars around at the time. I would say the handling of the Datsun Sports was better. I was pit crewing for a guy racing a lotus Europa in Production Sports Cars and the Datsun 200 was right up the front of that class. The Triumph GT6 wasn't bad either, nut they topped out at 113MPH.

Chargers had 215 ci six, a 245 ci six, a 265 ci six, a 318 V8, a 340 ci V8 and a 360 ci V8. The 265 Hemi six was their race engine and was much quicker than the three V8s around Mt Panorama.
You left out the XW GT-HO Phase 2 that had the 351 Cleveland and there was a Falcon XA GT-HO Phase 4 but only an example was built because of the media uproar over the performance of these high performance sedans being unleashed to the public and the Federal Government was going to threaten the Australian Ford motor company not to buy any of their products if they didn’t stop the production of them
They actually made 4 complete gtho phase 4's, with 3 of them destroyed in races, the other one belongs to a guy in Melbourne I believe. All the remaining surplus parts they put into other XA's, labelled as RPO 83 or 84, or some similar number. I know they were RPO's.
Google Torana, LC-LJ GTR-XU1, Torana A9X L38, American voice over person. And it's pronounced MON are oh, not Man are oh. GT-HO "Phase III" was the fastest sedan on the planet in 1971. Now worth close to, if not more than, one million dollars. If you can find an original "Hoey" and not an up spec'd GT falcon replica.
10 Fastest Australian Muscle Cars You Never Got? That's not true, I've owned an RT Charger, a GTR LJ Torana (Not listed) a HQ Monaro and a V8 HR premier. I current got a SSS Vt Commodore. Many people my age 55, have owned these cars. Maybe you should change the title of this vid?
I guess thats all they had there in those days but I have a hard time getting too excited over a four door Falcon with a small block. I really don't care for a four door anything but nowadays there aren't a lot of options.
Some cool cars there but you missed some of the most iconic Aussie cars! HDT toranas and commodores for example. Also HSV was not soley owned by Walkinshaw it was a partnership betweem GMH and TW... you get a thumbs down...

My pick Mopar Ford AMC Javelins then the first 3 models of Monaro but not there 6 or 253 or 308. 327 350 only 🙀. Hate lap top muscle car .
The torque measurement spec reads as foot pounds not pound feet.
I seriously want a new El Camino made from the Ute.
Good luck with that.......
What a gorgeous colour that last one was. Forget the livery, just the base. Kinda purple / bronzey / reddish kinda mix. I'm sure I'm wrong. Probably a bakers dozen combination. But wow, I love to know what it's called and the code. Anyone know? I'll spend hours googling if I have too. But I'm old, cranky & not great at that kinda thing. Oh, also, did I mention that I'm lazy? lol
I would imagine that the A9X Torana would be as good if not better than any car on this list.
It says fastest, not best- something that can be accurately measured on the track, not someone's opinion.
On the track, not from the showroom.
@@rossbrumby1957 The A9X showed a clean pair of heels to all the other 70s cars in this video at many race tracks around Australia.
@@bourbonslurpee And now a Standard Tesla would hose it off.
@@JoeShabidu that’s what 45 years of technology will do.
I still would take the GTHO Phase 3 over all of them
I would agree for value or worth but I’d also love a ht Monaro and a e49 charger for the whole set
I'd prefer the E-49 for being the fastest accelerating aussie production car for 25 years. They all have their good sides.
The XT and XR GT Ford was the quickest GT BY 4 km with the 289
what about the 5 litre Torana SLR 5000, or the XU1 , OR THE SLANT 6 VALIANT , or the ford cortina
What about the force 7 ?
It’s too slow!
You left out the best one ever! HSV GTSR W1 = LS9 636 hp, 0 to 100 4.1 seconds.
HSV - Homo Sexual Version.
I am a Holden man , but , the one exception is the XR , All Holdens are the bees knees , and Chrysler , the motors , G'Day CHARGER , Toranas are awesome , XU1 LJ mad , 308 A9X , they went buds , most had Ford 9inch diffs put in them , but L S D , are not yah average Gripper , they unbreakable, still non of them come near my Ducati in a rolling start , hehe ,
And , You started with my favourite Ford , the only one I'd happily own , but that same year Holden released the H R X2 Premier, 500 of em the least to make it production class car to race at Barhurst , had a 186s motor , a shit 4 speed box , that got piffed and in with the All Australian Box , A 9" diff , bore the engine to 191 , had a Taco , so they could match the V8 fords , why Toranas were made , but I recon a pristine X2 would be Australias most expensive car , I love that car more , than the Ford, it's so perfectly balanced lowered a bit , and fkn fly too , fun , my old boss took it one day , NO chrome wheels only Gun metal grey , note from Heaven , so my boss sees the keys on the hook in office , get back that night , and he looks up at us as we walk in , and looked at me and said , Hey , that thing of yours out there , goes like fkn Daniel in them first few gears , jeasus , you should have mentioned this iconic car , and it's place In History
@@DucatiratiMy grandad had a HR Prem X2.. my fav Holden..
Bugga sold it to my cousin 8 mths before I turned 16!!
Still spewing!!
@@baabaabaa-El Yeah , it'd be worth anything , the right buyer , but they drove so well , stuck to the Rd, took bend at high speed , with no passengers, beat GTHOs to the next lights , when the 3.55 /1 diff was in it fairly flew , cheers
@@Ducatirati They were quick off the mark mate, definitely!!
A good bus.. my grandads term!

@baabaabaa-yp2jh NO Prizes for guessing who he's wanting to win the flag , but when it was Lowered , and fat Chromies , a 4 speed all Australian Box, and they drove like they were on tracks , with the skinny tyres , terrible , and handled bad , but lowered a couple of inches , bit of rubber on the deck , not a ford fan , but always used a ford 9 inch diff , they are unbreakable ,Distribute power quick and even no extra stress on any parts , like before the 9inch , an axle a week, half way down annoying , and a double pressure plate for the clutch , flew that thing honest baabaa wish I had mine still , and sounds like someone got under your guard , bummer , ner mind the memory , like the Taco, where a light for oil and water running hot crap dial , but a Taco, awesome big memory's for me , cheers mate thanx
You showed a whole lot of E49 decals but only 1 had the twin tank filler cap....
HSV Maloo the best ❤️💪 can carry many slabs of beer , the dog & dirtbike & still blow off half those cars 🤣 🇦🇺👍
What about the 1996 HSV VS GTS-R... good cars on the list. Can't get them all
W1 HSV ❤
What is a mile??
what abt the holy grail XR8 Sprint with 483kw ( 647hp ) and 753nm ( 555lb ft) of torque, and what abt the over-boost feature on both the F6 and the R spec which gave it a boost in performance. and also the Ford TS50 with its 250KW ( 335hp ) 5.6L stroker Windsor V8 was technically the most powerful production Windsor V8 Motor, other than the 351 Cleveland which " claimed to have 300 Hp" but had more....
the holy grail is an aftermarket thing from a mechanic in melbourne???? the AU falcon is only the ugliest falcon ever and was universally hated.
@@ROTAR666 I know that the holy grail is aftermarket kit, but the Walkinshaw was an upgrade kit by Walkinshaw which means it wasnt a production car just like the Holy grail XR8 Sprint.. and also, you cant spell Beautiful without AU... many ppl love the AU and many ppl hate it... its an opinion
@@Beau-x3f no one who was alive at the time likes the AU. the BA got it right tho in my opinion esp. the GT kit looks like a V8 supercar.
The w557 was a lump of lard, it made 550hp at the wheels and you could modify a regular xr6 turbo (the shit version of the F6) and spend 5k on mods and blow it away.
That 557 was kw not hp.
@AndyViant no shit sherlock. 557kw is at the crank and a man who had his w557 hsv dynoed got 550hp at the wheels. Why don't you read my comment again and this time read it properly instead of thinking you know everything.
Jokes on you I have an XR6T in north America 🫡
jokes on you why would u bother to import that to america with their laws on imports? in fact from my understanding u cant even register and drive that over there for another 10 years or something.
Nothing is Safe from Improvement lol 😂👍
Back in the day anything with a V8 was called a muscle car!
Lot's of questions about accuracy and you missed heaps of good one's.. it should be the popular list
Xr gt was not 15.8 on the quarter it was lucky to get a high 16 with a hurricane behind it. The phase 1 out accelerated the phase 3 until about 90 mph it had the best throttle response of all the muscle cars in australia. Similar to the 6 cylinder charger that was a beast. All aussie muscle cars are beautiful. The newer cars are not muscle cars they are beyond boring
You’re wrong on the xr gt. I Have one and will do a 15 no prob. Had an xw stock 302 with a 4 Barrel and it ran low 15s at earthen creek. About same hp.
You forgot the return of the Holden Monaro in November 2001.
In terms of asthetics, that version of the monaro did those before it a great disservice.
@@Jespa_007 No.
Wasn't especially fast, so not included.
TORANA L34 SL/R5000??
When the HG 350 monaro came out I worked in a large Holden dealership. We had 2 priests who owned them, I couldn't believe priests owned these two.
Xr 225 bhp 289ci, HK monaro 327 ci 250 bhp
I owned a 1967 Datsun 2000 (SR311) sports car.
Twin double throat Solex carburetors (Weber copies) and a 30/70, 70/30 camshaft as standard.
It had a top speed of 130mph!
It had a 5 speed gearbox and would do 60mph in SECOND gear, 80mph in Third!
So much for the Falcon GT of the day!
lol whats ur point? the datsun was slower THEN THE falcon and the falcon was the quickest sedan in the world.
@@ROTAR666 The video quotes the top speed of the 1967 Falcon GT as 121MPH.
The Datsun I owned had a top speed of 135MPH, I can confirm it would do it!
the Falcons were great cars, no doubt the V8,s accelerated much more quickly.
I am just making the point that there were other in-expensive fast cars around at the time. I would say the handling of the Datsun Sports was better. I was pit crewing for a guy racing a lotus Europa in Production Sports Cars and the Datsun 200 was right up the front of that class.
The Triumph GT6 wasn't bad either, nut they topped out at 113MPH.
@@ROTAR666 hahahaha "falcon quickest sedan in the world"what a laugh. You can't seriously believe what the media printed in old news papers, to keep the Australian punters happy? What a joke.
@@charlesbrewer6552 dude u like roadsters and 200b's cool why make such a big deal in a aussie muscle car video? u weirdo's with ur old euro roadsters lol mx5 anyone.
u insane comparing a 200b to a falcon GT tho.
and also its about sedans that world record. twits.
The xr gt is sexy 👌🏽
You missed the Falcon Holy Grail
A good one also is the vn sv5000 the sv300 and also the coupe4 being awd
The sv5000 is about as quick as a Nissan pulsar. 185kw
@@adamt4496 they had 200kw
the coupe4 is a beast many know nothing about.. i have an avalanche (awd wagon) and its awesome
@@bobthe7778 Coupe was awesome. Ive a V2 monaro
A 1.9 litre 4cyl VC Commodore with Manual Transmission was a good one. The Vacuum Guage was always saying Full Power!
So, there’s an American AI telling us about Australian cars…
GTHO PH4
Not a production car sorry- same goes for what the E-55 would have been if the media didnt get involved in a scare campaign.
@@kennethchitty GTHO IV, was never put into production. If you want to include them, you have to also include, the GRM (Gary Rogers Motors port) developed 7ltr (427) Monaro's.
@@noelwebb6843
The “Old Man Emu “ definitely
@@noelwebb6843 but one did come out of the Factory an XA GTHO phs 4 Calypso Green , and has HO marked clearly on the compliance plate ,
So technically they did produce one, that came off the production line
GTR XU1 🤔
No mention of any Toranas? Obviously not an Aussie video about Aussie cars.
Number one was not a factory Holden!
A totally bogus list. No XU-1, no A9X, no L34. And the low ratings on the GTHO and the Charger are nonsense
We got very similar cars here in South Africa, and we have useless cops, so guess who had the most fun.
Gtsr?
How the heck is the Phase 3 that low in this list?
The charger never got the hemi 8?😮
Chargers had 215 ci six, a 245 ci six, a 265 ci six, a 318 V8, a 340 ci V8 and a 360 ci V8.
The 265 Hemi six was their race engine and was much quicker than the three V8s around Mt Panorama.
Bro forgot toranas 😢😢😢
You left out the XW GT-HO Phase 2 that had the 351 Cleveland and there was a Falcon XA GT-HO Phase 4 but only an example was built because of the media uproar over the performance of these high performance sedans being unleashed to the public and the Federal Government was going to threaten the Australian Ford motor company not to buy any of their products if they didn’t stop the production of them
They actually made 4 complete gtho phase 4's, with 3 of them destroyed in races, the other one belongs to a guy in Melbourne I believe. All the remaining surplus parts they put into other XA's, labelled as RPO 83 or 84, or some similar number. I know they were RPO's.
l34 SLR 14sec qt mile 253 not 308
i did get then, im australian!
The Aussie arms of GM and Ford did better with less; Totally mismanaged by shortsighted corporates in the US.
Road registered cars. That commodore in the photo was not road registrable.
What you WILL notice is that American cars of that time had rotten finish, rough edges. They weren't put together that good.
No Brabhams?
Google Torana, LC-LJ GTR-XU1, Torana A9X L38, American voice over person. And it's pronounced MON are oh, not Man are oh. GT-HO "Phase III" was the fastest sedan on the planet in 1971. Now worth close to, if not more than, one million dollars. If you can find an original "Hoey" and not an up spec'd GT falcon replica.
10 Fastest Australian Muscle Cars You Never Got? That's not true, I've owned an RT Charger, a GTR LJ Torana (Not listed) a HQ Monaro and a V8 HR premier. I current got a SSS Vt Commodore. Many people my age 55, have owned these cars. Maybe you should change the title of this vid?
Of course, Americans never got these cars because they were only sold in Australia.
American Al Turner had some of them.
@@JoeShabidu They still weren't sold in America.
Bro pls bmw all cars 2024 pls pls
GTS-R?
I guess thats all they had there in those days but I have a hard time getting too excited over a four door Falcon with a small block. I really don't care for a four door anything but nowadays there aren't a lot of options.
Your facts about quarter mile times and production no. is wrong. Not hard to cheak facts bud.
Waant the ht released in 68 n when they were racing them wasnt it the hg bathurst 350 with the factory standard drop tank in it ......i owned one
Some cool cars there but you missed some of the most iconic Aussie cars! HDT toranas and commodores for example. Also HSV was not soley owned by Walkinshaw it was a partnership betweem GMH and TW... you get a thumbs down...
