Really hard to watch... these cars have such an awesome presence on the road! In the 70s & 80s when I was a kid I was awed by the coupes. The cobras especially. Even though my parents drove a huge 72 CH Chrysler which was my 1st car, these still give the impression of a tough Aussie muscle car! Kudos to all who try to bring wrecks back to life!
Sad to see , But they where cheap in the 90's got my xa coupe for $500 , and the local junk yard had at least 4 a week turn up for crushing, got heaps of cheap parts , grills $5 bonnets $20, coupe doors $50 Yes the good old days !!!
I have always wanted a falcon coupe from the age of seven when I watched colin bond & Allen Moffitt cross the line for the one/two finish at Bathurst in 77! I've never had my chance to get my hands on one of these beautiful coupe's & to see this just guts me!
A friend of mine in Bendigo, his father had an XB GS 302 coupe, back in the 1970s, I had no idea then how iconic that model would become! Great Vlog, thanks for sharing,❤️🦘🦘🦘
Wow you really done some miles / km To put together such an amazing montage so interesting to see that there’s so many coupe’s Out there in so many different locations you’re really opening peoples eyes to the fact there’s a lot of classic Australian cars still out there all over the place the more of your clips I see the more amazed at what must really be out there
Its great to see so many still around even if they are rusted , hey time has its way with any old cars , if you still have one laying around i suggest you put it inside shed ,, not behind shed , wrecked cars still hold parts for others that fair better
Lots of klms traveled, as mentioned in description I only took a certain amount of this lot of pics but the ones I did varied from central qld-western vic-wa and northern nsw.
I remember the days when you could find these old coupes in the trading for under $1800, use to find xa gt coupes for under $9000, xc cobras were no more than $6000. This is going ack in the late 90's early 2000's.
@@MrGutfeeling true, but these were still available for that price as I came across some gt coupes and also I was offered a genuine xc cobra which needed restoration ofcourse for just only $6k back in 1998
What about the LTD coupe? The Landau was a beautiful monster. Miss the days of these hulking great V8 coupes. The closest I got was buying a written off XA 351 GT coupe, transferring all of the running gear, from the radiator to the 9 inch diff, including the interior, dash, seats, everything into an XA Fairmont 4 door. I couldn't believe how easily everything fit, even the wiring loom. Put a Holley 750 double pumper on it, a Sig Erson cam, balanced and blueprinted the engine, man that thing ran sweet!Monroe Wylie GT Gas shocks, King lowered springs, anti sway bars, full complement of the red polyurethane bushes, and it was one tough unit after all that. Loved that car.
My brother had a metallic brown Landau with black leather or vinyl roof and interior . Cos he was a glue sniffer he wrote it off running up the backside of a parked car . Similar with a Ducati , off the edge of twisty turny gorge road . I was am a better driver than that , wish they were mine.
@@karengayehammat4199 The roof was vinyl, interior leather. What a waste of a couple of very nice vehicles, not to mention your brother's brain. I knew someone that did that (glue-sniffing), totally changed who he was.
@@karengayehammat4199 Yeah, that Airfix glue gets 'em, don't it? Maybe that explains MY brother's behaviour! I never even thought of it, but he used to make model cars and shit all the time! And those tiny tins of paint! Wow!
If I lived in Australia I'd be driving a falcon. Here in Canada we don't see these cars,they weren't exported. The condition reminds me of how I find dodge chargers here,very much rotten out. Par for the course. Anything can be repaired,I repaired (full restructure) my daily driver 1969 dodge charger,found in the woods,and last winter a 69 roadrunner as my "backup car"..the ford falcons sold here were a compact car,the Australian falcons remind me of a smaller version of the 70-71 ford torino mixed with a late 60s chevelle. Awesome design!..new cars suck!!
The shape is about all that's going for them. My dream car in the early 90's was an XY GT. I saved the cash and I test drove a beautiful red, manual replica, and....well....I hugged my Vh commodore when I got home.
Hug a Commodore , why. ? ...to stop it from falling apart maybe ...I made a terrible mistake once and bought a VC Commodore ...I spent three years of money pitting just trying to keep it safe on the road .. Traded it on an XE Falcon and the differences were vast ... Drove like a dream .. My uncle had an XA that had 700,000 on her when he gave up driving , bugger all issues .. Since my XE I have had the following ,.. EF Futura , AU Futura , BA Fairmont Ghia and FG XR6 ..EF only issue in 7 years was an A/C gas leak that needed fixing ..The AU Series 2 , 2001 I still have and is my daily . Owned her since 2003 ..Inlet manifold gasket at about 200,000 kms,. Front brake calipers 2020 , one alternator 2015 , power steering swivel hose 2017 and I have put an after market head unit in when the CD player started playing up about 6 years back . Everything else other than the power mirror switch works perfectly (even the power windows) and is original including the radiator and A/C etc. She has the beaut Intech 4.0 SOHC engine and BTR auto that'll outlast religion ... The FG XR6 is just gorgeous ...All my Falcons have been sixes though...one day when I retire I'd love a project V8 to have a go at ..Great Vid ...these are gems ...
My father worked for the PMG in the late 1968 to 1975 putting Coaxial cable from Canberra to Melbourne Came across many Vintage Cars rusting AWAY . Asjed farmer did they want to sell any Farners reply i would rather see them rust and rot away then sell them to you people. Even back then dad knew something . To young to do anything ..RIP DAD . As for these DERANGED horders sell them to good people who are hellbent on seeing them restored .
I live in Ballarat,Vic and in the 1980’s you could buy a good condition xa-xc coupe on the road one with an old 302 for under $500 any day and we only bought them for the motors and gearbox to put into fairlanes or sedans and then dumped the cars for landfill . The xa to xc coupes drove like old boats and we were into holdens or ford persuit sedans like most people which were around 2-3 grand in excellent condition tricked out. We were after power and handling and except for the cobra? No one really wanted a ford coupe that’s why they all disappeared.
cool !!!, as a young fella, early 80s I had an xa fairmont 302 coupe then an orange xbgt 4 door with a cam, extractors, 3.55 diff, etc, , in the 90s the original coupes were mostly getting a bit shabby, rusty, needed paint and were worth nothing so lots got demo derbied , sent to the wreckers, etc, thats why not many survived unfortunately, makes me cry when I think about what we destroyed back then. for sunday fun buy a yellow stickered hr, valiant, etc, for $50 and basically destroy it the same day :(
I bet the XA Coupe Guy would love to get his hands on some of these old beauties and bring them back to what they once were It's a shame to see them is this state 😕
3:33 DeTomaso Pantera? Ford Clevo powered too if it was. Regarding the low numbers still about, a lot have gone to the US where there was a fad a few years back for Mad max replicas. A mate decided he wanted to go to the US for a holiday but wanted to take his coupe too.....!. He financed the whole deal by shipping another 6 coupes to the US .All good running cars. He stayed in the US with his coupe.
I never would thought that there would be so much coupes still around …..what a waste ….half theses people that own them won’t spend money on them or sell them …just a waste …give them to some one who can do something with them ….restore or even use them as parts ….sad seeing them in that state …..that goes for any Aussie muscle car ….man I miss mine ….
As much as I loved my old XA coupe, I still wonder if that bloody huntsman is still living it up in there,never did find it after it dropped in my g/fs lap when she pulled down the visor.
The plum purple XA was for sale about five years ago for 17 and half grand, and a whole bunch of poor boys were bitching about the price ! The would be shocked to see what they are worth now !
So sad. Aussie Muscle just rusting away. 😪😪😪 RIP all XA XB XC Cobras, Landaus Hardtops in this video. How did you find all these Hardtops ? 8.26 looks like the rolled Interceptor from Mad Max.
As it says in description I only took about 25 of the pics, I’ve been chasing old cars for over 30 years and coupes used to be everywhere and cheap. I’ve found 5 in last six months including one only two weeks ago that has been in a carport/shed over 25 years so they are still out there if you look real hard.
@@ablokeinatroopyaustraliawide I know where there are 6. I have known about them since 2000 when the owner was buying them up for cents in the dollar.Mostly from Dreamers who had the dream but neither cash nor ability to repair rust etc. The present owner has dozens of cars in a big building ,that he will never fix. He's in his 70's now and time waits for no man.
I had a XA GT and a Landau back in the 90s I paid 7k for the XA in early 90s and 17k for the landau in the late 90s. Just seen my old landau sell for 265k she was all gold with a light brown vinyl roof. How I wish I had a Crystal ball lol.
Yikes, rust really wasn't kind to those cars, was it? I am still surprised nobody has ever made a fiberglass kit car of those, they'd sell a bunch of them.

There’s actually three in there from New Zealand and two from England. Did you read the description before commenting ? I do hope you enjoyed it though.
Be good to have the emagination to predict average opinion. In the 90s it was hard for most people to see value in these, let alone the rest of the 1970s fords. They were thirsty dinosours few cared about. Hoons, cheap first car, demolition derby, speedway.
@@ablokeinatroopyaustraliawide I live in mallee vic, I reckon the farmers story could be told well if someone had the time, you've been involved with harvests in WA. Farmers utes have advanced a bit, but going from combines and grain bags up to the 70's to what there is now is a hell of a story if someone went after it.
Millions of dollars worth of Aussie Muscle Cars… i wonder if these ppl actually realise just how much these wrecks are worth these days, even in this condition
Bear in mind some of these pics are 30 years old, but I’m saying that some are only six months old and the day after posting this video I found another one that hasn’t seen daylight in over 20 years.I think there is a few folks that don’t realise the value even today…
Did you read the description ? On this clip I took around 25 of the photos and the others are pics I’d saved over the years. If you look at my old tin hunting clips they are 100% out of the thousands of pictures I’ve taken over last 30 years.
At the 8.25 mark is the stunt car wreckage photographed in the back yard of Derek’s house before he passed away, this is the car that did all the stunt work in mad max 2 , Aldo at the 12.00 mark is a mad max replica in the build.
@@junior4969 BS. The cars were dipped. There's a video of XA Falcons being built and they got dipped. It's pretty simple, leave a car out in the weather for forty plus years, eventually the sun will break the paint down, then you have basically unprotected steel, which will rust. Vegetation growth under and around will only accelerate the process. Happens with any steel car, any brand.
@alan mac I believe that during the 1972 riots and strike at the Broadmeadows factory there were a large number of bodies left outside in the weather which were adversely affected and did rust a lot worse than normal ? do you know anything of that?

This is really quite sad to see , they are so rusty 👍👍
I havwe had 3 P76's. Highly under rated cars in OZ. And things like the diff and brakes were shared across all fords and valiants.
I see many American cars used same door handles as xb xc models , these were buggars for braking them if you were not gentle
They certainly broke easily, then the later ones used on xd-xf were even worse….
What was the general area of the pics shown. Same State or spread out. Thanks for the clip.
All over Australia, however I did take a few pics in central vic of the multiple coupes in one yard.
Might snatch one for me right quick
Dream cars.
just criminal seeing these classics going to waste.
Yes its definitely a shame, their value was very low when a lot of these pics were taken, however some were within the last 6 months as well.
If only I could have stashed a couple of my falcons and GTRs no storage, ahh fuk!

Did you read the description ? On this clip I took around 25 of the photos and the others are pics I’d saved over the years. If you look at my old tin hunting clips they are 100% out of the thousands of pictures I’ve taken over last 30 years.
Mad Max where ? What's the purpose of this buzz word page ?
At the 8.25 mark is the stunt car wreckage photographed in the back yard of Derek’s house before he passed away, this is the car that did all the stunt work in mad max 2 , Aldo at the 12.00 mark is a mad max replica in the build.
What a disgrace. Makes me sick.
how did ford make their cars rust so badly!
It iz up to the individual to look after a car , neglect will killl a car ,, zuch az not looking after your health ..
Apparently a lot of panel part were outside the factory in the rain before assembly and the cars were never dipped like they are today
@@junior4969 BS. The cars were dipped. There's a video of XA Falcons being built and they got dipped.
It's pretty simple, leave a car out in the weather for forty plus years, eventually the sun will break the paint down, then you have basically unprotected steel, which will rust. Vegetation growth under and around will only accelerate the process.
Happens with any steel car, any brand.
@alan mac I believe that during the 1972 riots and strike at the Broadmeadows factory there were a large number of bodies left outside in the weather which were adversely affected and did rust a lot worse than normal ? do you know anything of that?
