4 Australian Falcon Coupes Arrive in the USA

[@TheGinom]

STOP TAKING OUR COUPES... haha

[@MadMaxCars]

+XB Mulberry LOL... yeah we have had troubles with groups like "Falcon Freedom" almost since the first XA turned 25 years old and qualified for entry into the USA. They don't seem to realize that we actually take relatively few out of the country compared to how many were made...... and I promise we replace them with 100 Mustangs, Chargers, Challengers, Corvettes, Camaros, Chevelles, Novas, Trans Ams, etc for every 1 Falcon that comes across the pond this direction. :-) and we have literally saved many that would have been crushed otherwise (see the "No Falcon Left Behind" series on this channel).

[@RolandElliottFirstG]

STOP TAKING OUR COUPES.

[@MadMaxCars]

See above. I imagine when the Mustangs, Chargers, Challengers, Corvettes, Camaros, Chevelles, Novas, GTOs, Trans Ams, etc stop going that way, we can stop bringing the bare few Coupes this way.

[@MadMaxCars]

There were not a whole lot of Shelby Mustangs made either, or Hemi Cudas, you name it, that still docent keep them from going overseas. Truthfully though the 1-200 total Aussie Falcons in the USA is a drop in the bucket to the 6 figure production numbers. Also, though w restore most of the nice Coupes that we bring in to stock specs, building a Mad Max interceptor out of anything but a Falcon Coupe would be like building a General Lee with a Coronet instead of a Charger. Just not the same.

[@Jesse-B]

@MadMaxCars ... I reckon it's a fair trade, lost count of the number of left hand drive Mustangs (to mention just one brand) I see driving on club plates. There are two schools of thought, convert to right hand drive, or don't. Conversion is straight forward since Mustangs up to 73 & 1/2 and Aussie Falcons 60 to 78 (I think) are built on the same platform. Most seem to keep them stock for historic value, but can only drive on club reg which has mileage limitations and log book BS involved.

[@oversteer46]

This is crazy! Last week I visited Australia for the first time and drove from Melbourne to Sydney. I thought I’d go via a town called Canberra but got lost in an area called Belconnen. On the sidewalk of a guys house was an XB coupe. I knocked on the door and he agreed to sell it! I’m looking into getting it sent back right now. Yippee! I love these kangaroo made machines. So excited!

[@MadMaxCars]

That is AWESOME!!!!! Let us know if you need any parts to restore it or build a Mad Max Interceptor! We are glad to help. We do also offer inspections and shipping arrangements (in addition to Scouting and car location down under) if you need, but it seems like you have that all under control. Thanks for watching and for your comment!

[@oversteer46]

MadMaxCars Yeah it has some damage at the front but the hood is okay. Apparently around 30 years ago the previous owner was making a trip home from a town called Alice Springs and he hit one of the aboriginals that was alseep on the highway but keep going! CRAZY. It was garaged ever since! So I guess it’s already kind of a Mad Max car!

[@MadMaxCars]

@@oversteer46 Sounds like it lived a bit of a "Mad Max" life. Well we are your North American 1 stop Falcon and Mad Max shop. Let us know if we can help with anything. We have all the Mad Max parts you need, and shipping on those Australian only parts can get expensive unless you are splitting it up with someone.

[@oversteer46]

MadMaxCars It sure did have a Mad Max life. Apparently if he had stopped others would have come out from the sand dunes to steal his car for their camps. That’s why some Aussies call them Falcoons.

[@MadMaxCars]

@@oversteer46 Wow, one of their guys sacrificed himself to be run over so they could steal his car? WOW!

We can't find them at all over here and you managed to find 4 good ones and send them out of the country 😞

[@partsbinaudi1335]

Sad ain't it

[@MadMaxCars]

We actually locate them for our Aussie clients regularly. Prices for a decent Coupe are getting ridiculous of course (like many of the hard to get American classics that get shipped over there) but they are not hard to find if you are in the market for one.

[@lukeyp523]

What cock fuckers there our cars not theres, just because you like mad max doesn't mean you can take away our beutiful coupes and go, ahehe let's destroy them and make four mad max cars and sell them for 10 grand ahehe

[@Angryetigaming]

@@lukeyp523 ik like wtf

[@MadMaxCars]

@@lukeyp523 Actually if you have a look at our other videos you will see we actually mostly restore these cars to stock or do GT clone builds. Thats why has happened to pretty much all 4 of these. Also there is only 200 or so total Aussie Falcons in the states (including Utes, Wagons, Sedans, panels, and Coupes), while 1000s of Mustangs, Chargers, Challengers, Trans Ams, Corvettes, GTXs, Camaros, etc go across the pond that way every year. So, if you feel you are getting the short end of that deal lets swap them all back. ;-)

Hey guys, thank you for restoring / saving these fantastic cars. I would love to have one and even though I am an Aussie I still appreciate the huge lengths you all go to whilst bringing these great Aussie muscle back to life. I won't get stuck into yoy like so many of these commentators do, because I am sure that many of these cars will eventually come back home one day. Anyways, keep up the good work! Dan

Now I know why I don't see any old Fords here in Oz My small advice is key into those who were searching for cars for Fury Road. I know they found some well hidden gems. And strangely when we were making that film it was the near impossible search for old USA studebakers. Weird isn't it

They were actually called Falcon "Hardtops" here in Oz, but coupes fine.

[@MadMaxCars]

Indeed that is quite correct. Our Aussie mates seem to use "Hardtop" and "Coupe" fairly interchangeably. Most often favoring "Coupe" as the go to, even if its not technically correct form a Ford Marketing standpoint. So I guess we just get used to using the term we hear from our Geared Brothers in OZ. Thank you very much for watching, and for your comment!

Only 5 publicly available atm from XA to XC. 2 being cobras(original) If youre chopping up GT's, Gs's to make fucking replicas you need to be banned from coming here. Not to mention being stupid. GT's are worth a fucking fortune. A piece of shit 2 dorr Fairmont is the cheapest available atm at $70K. You better be restoring these Australian treasures mate.

[@Paul_Zernick]

+V8Ziggy My apologies, It seems you do.There is no such thing as a cheap coupe. even a rusted out piece of shit GT Is worth more than you can imagine through plates, block etc. Clone a 4'1L 6cyl Falcon 500 into a GT replica if you must. Not a MM. There's enough already. Got to rare Spares in OZ and get XB GT trim to finish off a Falcon 500 clunker. It'll be nicer and probably worth more as a GT clone as it ever would as a MM replica.

[@MadMaxCars]

+V8Ziggy We are indeed restoring these beauties. In fact the only ones that get turned into Mad Max replicas are usually the hardest luck cases, while the rest get restored into beautiful examples of the factory build in most cases. We go out of out way to save some of the worst condition cars from the crusher, because we hate to see them die. See this web series here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iV7Fln6Cd56Hn5o

[@MadMaxCars]

+V8Ziggy Very true. We do build a few GT clones from lesser models by adding all the goodies. Not just everybody can afford a real GT or even GS.

[@IIIPronGIII]

This brings back memories. I had 2 of these, the first was a fake GT and the dealer had to get me a real GT (they got fooled when the had it traded). I knew what a GT was supposed to look like because my brother had one but he had the 4 door I had the coupe. We both had the XA. When I got my real GT the one thing I was very happy about was it had power steering. I miss it and still have a picture of it on my wall in my study, I still have dreams about it even to this day. It was 1976 when I owned that beauty.

[@MadMaxCars]

Sounds like good times in an amazing pair of cars with your brother. Thanks for watching and sharing that cool memory!

[@MadMaxCars]

They are some beautiful cars. You will find some great restoration video series on what we have done with these beauties. The Red Pepper XA is getting restored as a GT clone, The Walnut Glow GS has been fully restored mechanically but the owner wanted to keep the "Barn Find" patina on the exterior. Good luck with your sale!

For Chassis and Powertrain yes, its on the Mustang, Comet, Torino, Montego chassis in general. Most everything else comes from Australian Vendors.

[@michaelgtrxu1683]

Unsure as to how I feel about this. I mean, I'm sure they are going to a good home, but still. Many of the coupes you guys take from us seem to get butchered. There really aren't many left over here, even taking a few over puts a sizeable dent in their population here.

[@MadMaxCars]

Yeah, I hear ya. We have been watching our rare cars go overseas for decades, and it is hard to witness even if you know they will be well cared for. If it helps any, 211,971 XB's produced between October, 1973 and June, 1976, so the few that get brought over to the USA should not really affect the total number there by a noticeable %. Probably the high number that got scrapped in the late 70's through 90's has more to do with it than anything.

[@robinpregarc2035]

I thought we were talking coupes here. There were 211,971 total of ALL body styles, but less than 8900 coupes were made!

[@MadMaxCars]

They certainly made less Coupes than other models. Still there is less than 200 Coupes in the USA all told from any reliable reports I have seen. From what my Aussie mates tell me, far more coupes than that went to the scrapper.

Thank you so much for the kind words. We will keep at it. We feel the same way about the many classic USA Muscle Cars that ship overseas. If someone loves them enough to go to that length to get them, hopefully they will get really treated with care and respect.

[@johnsergei]

One interesting factor regarding the low sales of these big coupes in Australia was the rising cost of fuel during the 70s. It was all over for these attractive 2 doors by 77, after only a few years, with Holden, Ford & Chrysler trying to get rid of remaining stock (hence the Ford Cobra & Monaro LS) These are are big cars, but not huge, like full size American cars of the time. Even the big 2 door yank tanks has enough space in the back to be family transport. In these smaller Australan cars, sure you'll find more room than a Porsche 924, but family transport they are not. & fuel prices were going up up UP!

[@MadMaxCars]

Very similar to what killed a lot of the Muscle Cars here in the States as well!

[@fractalign]

I have mixed feelings, it’s sad to see them go, but at the same time, it’s good to see Americans appreciate Aussie muscle. I wonder what they will start sourcing once the supply of Falcon hardtops run out. I am surprised there are no businesses bringing in Monaros.

[@MadMaxCars]

We do bring in a few Monaros. Brought in a really nice HXLE a while back. Just not much call for them with the yanks who do not know what they are.

[@johnmoyle4195]

Australian Fords were both designed and built in Australia. We had some models that were imported from the US, but there were a few that we innovated on our own for our own tastes. The Falcon was the flagship of the company and was known for it’s reliability and long service life. By far our most popular Falcon was the AU, although it was considered ugly, it served as a taxi, a police interceptor, a rental, a government vehicle and as a family vehicle. It had a station wagon variant and was also produced as a ute. There was also a wheelchair transport module produced for the taxi station wagon. It could run for over 100km with no oil in the inline 6 cylinder engine. It was almost impossible to blow a head gasket. Maserati bought a licence to produce the automatic transmission for their own cars.

Though there are more people in the USA, the % and spread of rich vs poor is probably pretty equal across the population. If anything the balance is worse in the USA with a smaller percentage holding more of the wealth resulting in more people below the poverty line. There are certainly Aussies rich enough to send Falcons to us for restoration and have them shipped home, or buy rare ones that have been here for decades and bring them home. They also import our "rare muscle cars" by the 1000s each year, compared to less than 200 XA,B,C Falcons (including Sedans, Wagons, Utes, Panelvans, and Hardtops) imported to the USA in the last 20 years.

[@vintagetintrader1062]

We take their mustangs, I have brought 4 into Australia ;) Must be hard finding parts for XA, B, C was hard enough 25 years ago when I had one

[@MadMaxCars]

I understand how hard it is to see your classics going overseas, as it happens here all the time with our vintage muscle cars too. The Falcons are actually pretty easy to find, just really getting costly for a good one, like all the classic cars in the USA are also. If it helps any, very few come into the USA compared to how many were made, and to how many Mustangs, Corvettes, Challengers, Chargers, GTO's, Camaros, etc go across the pond that way. You guys get our cars at about 100 to 1 on the Falcons.

[@joshhutch4432]

Thats total bullshit.

[@cartmanrlsusall]

Steve Fleming no worries we can ship you a couple of chevelles and mach1 mustangs to make up for it

[@ReinventingTheSteve]

Wow, yanks really love our falcon coupes! be nice to them!!! I guess it's only fair, I want a 69 boss mustang (and I'm Aussie) atleast we appreciate eachothers musclecars... but if I find out that ANY get damaged I will make sure the next batch is full of Aussie snakes, spiders and maybe a saltwater croc 😀

[@MadMaxCars]

We do love them! We do our best to make sure they get lovingly restored (or preserved), because the truly deserve it. We are all gearhead brothers I guess, I hope you get a really awesome 69 Boss! Haven't found a snake yet, but some of these cars come in with some amazingly evil looking spiders. Dead thank god because they bug bomb the containers at the port. Still once in a while a car comes in with webs around inside it, and we wonder if they are getting the bugs dead enough! Anyway, thanks for watching. If you would like to see some of the great restoration work we do, please feel free to catch some of the other shows on our channel like this one here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYPZqXyNmZKfaKc

Please tell me you restore these cars & not put that Mad Max shit all over these Falcons, if so pls return to Australia immediately. The four door XA, XB, XC would also sell well State side if restored I think.

[@MadMaxCars]

+Potaka79 Most all of the coupes we import go to collectors, and get restored. The few that get the Mad Max Interceptor treatment are usually some of the worst condition ones.

[@beyondthesun8966]

Glad to hear they don't all end up Mad Max style, have you guys ever done a GS Ute ?

[@MadMaxCars]

We are working on a XCGS Panelvan right now. The Utes are super cool, but they are not as popular here in the states. For what its worth the locals who want a vehicle like that tend to turn to the ElCamino and Ranchero. It takes real commitment to want to bring a Ute all the way across the ocean. Still some folks who truly appreciate who cool they are will. Thanks again for watching and for your comment!

[@beyondthesun8966]

Looking forward to seeing the Panelvan. Cheers.

[@MadMaxCars]

It should be a cool build. It actually came to us in a package deal with another car, and though we are working on it, the final build is waiting on a client to step up and help decide how they would like it built. So its officially available until then.

[@ADRIAN-fb9xj]

OUTRAGES!! Taking Aussie Muscle to The States. They've got Millions of Mustangs, Camaros, Firebirds, Challengers, Chargers etc. There's not enough Coupes to go around as it is. I hope they lose that ridiculous Sun Visor on the XB Fairmont, and how's the trailer light plug below the Fairmont badge, unbelievable!!......Sensible choice of Music to go with the video, got to give them credit for that.

[@MadMaxCars]

You may be glad to know there are very very few of your awesome Aussie Muscle Cars here in the states. Less than 200 altogether from what we know, including Falcon Sedans, Utes Wagons, and Panel Vans etc. Probably 1 for abut every 1000 of those Mustangs, Camaros, Firebirds, Challengers, Chargers etc. that come across the pond the other way. Probably a fair trade? hat XBGS Fairmont got a full mechanical restoration, but the new owner chose to leave it is its "Barn Find" condition cosmetically, since it had survived in really good condition other than the things you mentioned. You can see the video of it shipping out to its new owner here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnPLYqNsps5sec0 I am glad you like the music. We get mixed reviews on that, some like it, some not, but nobody in the middle unless they just are not saying if so. Thanks so much for watching and for your comment!

[@Thedoug369]

We call those Torino's here in the good ole US of A! Had a 71 that looked identical except for the taillights, and it had flip up headlight covers. Awesome looking cars whatever you call em!

[@MadMaxCars]

Well, we are here in the USA as well. The 71 Sportsroof Torinos do look similar in general, and LOTS of people confuse them for each other. However if you park them side by side it becomes really apparent that they only have a passing resemblance. Not a single body panel is directly interchangeable. Even the wheelbase is different. However the drive-train and suspension components are mostly interchangeable. When we show these at events people always ask what they are. If they are a Torino, Mustang, Javelin, or any number of other things. They sure do share a lot of "Styling Ques" with American Muscle Cars. Thanks very much for watching and for your comment!

[@hardrider5905]

4 very lucky coupes that i'm sure will get the best life from here on in. Don't forget you blokes if you run the same engine and carbies after the rebuilds that you will need to rejet them for US fuel. I guess a dyno session would soon sort that out though..

[@MadMaxCars]

+hardrider Thanks! They usually get the best of care here. Really appreciate the carbie advice, quite true in some cases. We also find that crossing the pond often kills the battery, probably being on the opposite hemisphere where the water swirls the other way. :-)

[@MadMaxCars]

We get most of the Falcon specific replacement parts from the trusted vendors down there, like GT Ford Performance. Actually a lot of newer and import cars have amber turn signals, so its all good.

Like the Red Pepper XA in this video you can see in the series here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYPZqXyNmZKfaKc the cars that do get the "Mad Max" conversion are normally ones that are true hard luck cases like this one (and others in this same series) that were about to hit the tip and got saved: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iV7Fln6Cd56Hn5o

[@PetermusPrime]

Stop nickin our frigging cars!!!! They're just Ford Torinos with a different front on them

[@MadMaxCars]

They actually are only vaguely similar to Torinos is shape. Not a single body panel exchanges. I know it can be difficult to see your classic cars go overseas, it happens here all the time. In fact you may notice that Mustangs, Corvettes, Chargers, Challengers, GTOs, Trans Ams, etc go across the pond that way at about 100 to 1 on the Falcons coming here.

[@PetermusPrime]

MadMaxCars i read they share the same chassis.

[@MadMaxCars]

They do share the same drivetrain and most of the suspension, but even the wheelbase is slightly different. Sort of like the Cougar, Fairlane, Falcon, Montego, and Mustang were all built on the same general "platform" in 1968, but if you wanted a Mustang you wouldn't go out an buy a Montego.

BTW the orange XB - those rims are a factory option steel rim - usually provided as part of the 'GS pack'. The brown coupe, those deep dish 'mags' look like Aungers - classic local wheels - the gold stripe is usually also a GS pack option. Fords GS pack included an upgraded instrument collection - tacho and oil pressure etc. Some other interesting options you could get were a long range tank (130 litres - replaced the indent for the tyre) and air con was considered an option back then. There was an upgraded equipment trim level version called the Landau. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Landau_(Australia)

[@MadMaxCars]

Cool! Thank you for the info. We were actually aware of the GT/GS 12 slot rims, as we have seen them on several cars that have come in. The "Walnut Glow" coupe is actually a GS Fairmont so the stripe and other options are factory. Its the "Barn Find" featured in some of our other videos. If you watch some of our "Reveal" videos you might see an ultra rare Deep Aqua XBGT that among other things came equipped with AC, Electric Windows, 4 Speed and an Outback Pack. Its a 1 of 1 in that configuration and color. The Landaus are great cars also, but if I understand correctly, though they were based on the Falcon they were actually considered a part of the LTD line and not actually a Falcon trim level by Ford marketing.

@@MadMaxCars After our Supercar scare in the media, 351's were the limit. An XB did not have the brakes nor the suspension to handle anything bigger than a 351at the time. You do need to remember, the performance Fords and Holdens in Australia were made for our local tin top racing. Putting a 429 into an XB would have made it too expensive for the local market.

[@MadMaxCars]

@@keithmottram8755 I absolutely believe that a 429SCJ equipped Falcon would have been too expensive for anyone but a select few buyers.

Australia assembled them locally in the late 60s until we imported them for a while until 72 where Ford Australia did the conversions to rhd. In a funny way, this may be a good way to save these coupes from otherwise going by the wayside. They can always be re-imported back sometime in the future as one was recently from Ireland!

MadMaxCars Probably. Sadly, I sold mine around '90 for about $8k. :-( Never thought they'd get so popular, considering how most people weren't exactly fans.

[@MadMaxCars]

That is unfortunate. I have sold a few cars that would be unbelievably valuable today if I had kept them. Just the way the collector market is I guess. Several of my Aussie mates have said, in various ways, that the Coupes were sort of like the Edsel was here. Not as well liked as you might think, and couldn't even trade them in so they got sold for scrap to get a down payment on a new car (scraps yards would take them cuz the front sheet metal would go on the sedans also). One of the reasons there are so very few of them these days.

I love the red XA coupe you roll off at the end. Not to mention the XB's....When you guys first saw these cars, what did you think of? they reek of tough. Gorgeous stance and shaping here.

[@MadMaxCars]

If you would like to see more of the Red XA you mention, we have restoration show focusing on that car this season, you can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYPZqXyNmZKfaKc Like most Americans we first saw the Falcon coupes as the Interceptor in Mad Max, and as you can expect, were blown away by what is probably the toughest, meanest car on the planet. They are awesomely designed machines!

[@MadMaxCars]

Thats AWESOME! Thanks for the history. We of course knew some of this already but its always great to know more. Very cool!

Why didn't they ship the 4 in 1 container?

[@MadMaxCars]

That is actually how we do it most often. In this case the first one was wanted right away by the client, and he was willing to pay the extra to get it in a single container. The other 3 came in with 1 more that was delivered directly to the client, with the rest coming here for restoration. Very good observation! Thanks for watching and for your comment!

I saw a coupe and a Ute at Knotts Berry Farm all Ford day a few years back. You Americans were all over them. Shame you are not getting the modern stuff.

[@MadMaxCars]

You should have seen all the Falcons at the Ford 100th anniversary celebration in Dearborn. Probably half of the owners in the USA showed up. John Goss came and signed our cars. Amazing fun!!

[@barrybloggs9474]

Are you looking for more? What about Monaro's? I was approached at The Ford Day and people want our Utes. What are your import restrictions. I was importing US cars to Australia, but because our $ dropped and the Asbestos crap, I gave it away.

All good questions for the guys at www.madmaxcars.com

Coupes have a pillar in the middle, they are hard tops 😎👍

[@MadMaxCars]

We actually find our Aussie mates use the terms interchangeably, with "Coupe" being the most common usage. So that is why we generally use that description. If it is helpful I did find this definition online: "A hardtop has no B-pillar, which is the pillar between the front and rear side windows. A hardtop can be 2-doors or 4-doors. A coupe is a body style that can be a proper hardtop or with a B-pillar." So it seems it is correct either way you choose to define it. Thanks for watching and for your comment!

It's the Tone Deafs.

[@MadMaxCars]

If you mean the music, close but not quite. The Tone Deafs are a Canadian Classic Rock band. The band here is Skeedlebronk, a Free Jazz / Rock Fusion band from the USA. They are a Revolutionary Records Recording artist. You can learn more about them at www.revolutionaryrecords.net Thanks for watching and for your comment!
