1978 Ford Falcon Cobra - Only 400 Made!

[@Southernsled68]

You AUSSIES always got the sweetest looking body lines looking Ford ever made.We in the US got the turds.Sweet car man.

[@doraexplora9046]

Ya reckon? I don't thing the Mustang was a turd. But you do have to give it to Ford Australia for being able to go out on a limb with a lot of their shapes. The Ford Capri V6 was an instant hit, so was the Lotus Cortina and they went on in England. Around the late 60's it looks like all three continents went their separate ways and some produced some truly unique cars, 'all by their lonesome', some are still wanted today.

Only ever seen one of these in NZ back in the 70s. The dude bought my air horns

[@jwdundon]

Thats a good looking Torino!

[@byza101]

My neighbour had one of these when I was 7, so 40 years ago. Looking back he had it going on, had this car, his wife was hot, 13 year old daughter was off the charts 😂 was good fun getting driven around Campbelltown in it.

[@TheMadelineClark]

Cool car. The model is just mind blowing!

[@regandunn4850]

Great video

[@doraexplora9046]

You still see these around every so often. and not with Historic number plates. They are probably replicas, but still an impressive package, even for today.

[@tedadamgreen]

Great Video!

I bought a John Goss Special in ‘85 for $5k..it was my daily driver for 18yrs...Cobra’s were $8k..a little out of reach financially..good times.

[@makamua2250]

It’s criminal you didn’t start it 😂

[@Mercmad]

40 years ago I was working at kaikohe and that was one of the few times i saw one on the rod until i went to work in OZ where I have seen a handful in car shows etc. Was this the car from Kaikohe? The other falcon special build was the Goss Special, even rarer.

[@Blippity_Bloop64]

I had forgotten that Biante released a set of 300 cars with its own set of certificates for the New Zealand market. The regular release certificate shows 7860.

[@PoweredEvents]

And they were unfortunately low on power due to the smog gear fitted.

[@derhampaul2182]

Is that Lou from neighbors

[@craigduffield3963]

They would have been a lot more collectable if they all had a 351 toploader and 9 inch

[@nhraandnascarfanatic5907]

And actually PERFORMED

[@teresaalferez1230]

[@AGRADEMECHANIC]

Shamefull showing a Cobra with WRONG repro seat covers, missing fr spoiler, wrong Wheels, and all wrong under the bonnet. REAL ORIGINALS exist did u know! I’m the proud owner of one from NEW!

[@timothyjn100]

As he mentioned, all of which can be fitted again when needed. Have to remember that some people just like different things. The owner is free to run their car how they like it. I'm sure once they're done having fun with it they'll return it to it's original setup. If anything, it's better they run it how it is now so that they can preserve as much of the original parts as possible. Once it's sitting around not being driven, they'll be thanking themself for swapping out several parts

[@therealunclevanya]

I've just clicked 'like' as Number 121

[@regandunn4850]

I was 127

[@therealunclevanya]

@@regandunn4850 it was the number of the car

[@Smellyfish]

Blue was layed down first

[@chrish4469]

They didn't have a top loader gearbox, Ford stopped production of the toploader in 1973, They had a Borg Warner single rail. Which the XC Fairmont GXL also had.

[@aylyan]

dude get the wheels and front spoiler back on..

[@KennoRob]

If you are going to do a video outside,suggest you purchase an outdoor microphone,wind noise is just soooo annoying mate !!!

[@jwdundon]

The sounds of nature are rather enjoyable to this yank. I hear the fella just fine on my wimpy ass cell phone speaker.

[@VernLeRoy1962]

Ford was not a very good company in 1978. It is Totally Sad they didn't produce these in Australia & in America.

[@derhampaul2182]

It was a shit car it only looked good 😊

[@nhraandnascarfanatic5907]

Big, heavy, under powered, unreliable, overrated… yet such an icon. What am I missing..?

[@gordonpkm7560]

Moffats 405 HP. 157 mph Bathurst shootout lap ..

[@jwdundon]

I don't know about the Aussie falcon but my 1972 429 Gran Torino with a 4-speed definitely was not underpowered and Australia had better motors than that....

[@derhampaul2182]

They were shit

[@DaveSmith-ep9ew]

Said no one ever

[@jwdundon]

​@@DaveSmith-ep9ewI think he meant they were THE SHIT....
