4 Australian Falcon Coupes Arrive in the USA

You may already know that www.madmaxcars.com is the USA's very first, and still most prolific, importer/exporter of Australian built classic Muscle Cars, providing location and overseas transport services for clients all over the world. Here we see a recent batch of 4 new arrivals coming into the USA for the first time, about to be prepped for their new owners. This batch includes 2 standard XB Coupes (Black & Orange), a beautiful XB GS Fairmont barn find that has been just recovered from a 21 year slumber in an outback shed, as well as a nice XA Coupe that started life as Red Pepper. This one will shortly be given the GT clone treatment and returned to its original color. If any of these cars catch your fancy, look at the Mad Max Cars website above, as some of the new owners have listed them in the classified section for sale.

[@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.

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.

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.

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.

[@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. ;-)

Ford of Australia started as a branch of Ford of Canada. Ford Falcons were first made in Aus. As CKD kits shipped from Canada back in the 1960s. These CKD kits were Canadian spec cars with no A/C. The were shipped to Vancouver by rail from Ontario and then by boat to Geelong.. Dodge Darts were also shipped to Adelaide as CKD kits. The first Holden car designed after WWII was a downsized Chevy.

[@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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Hi from Tasmania , Australia. Just found your UTUBE video. Did you know Australia exported Ford GTHO ' S to South Africa as well as GMH MONARO'S because they drive on the left of the road as well so they were all right hand drive's.

[@MadMaxCars]

Greetings from here in Seattle Washington USA! Glad you found our channel. You will probably enjoy a lot of the content on our channel, so feel free to take a look through our other videos. We were actually aware of the South Africa connection. There were actually a very few exported to the UK, as some were sold in Scotland new among a few other places. Though they are even more rare in the places they went outside of Australia. Thank you for watching and for your comment.

[@ThePaulv12]

Brown XB on gas with aftermarket air and the sun visor looks like it was a much loved 1 owner car owned by a Greek or Italian Australian. I bet the family was surprised by the price they were offered for it.

[@MadMaxCars]

They actually had a pretty good idea of what it was worth. We had a eager new owner who wanted it to preserve as a barn find, so we were glad to make it worth their while. Feel free to check out the "ship out" video (and even the "Pick Up" video) on this channel to see how it turned out. The AC was actually a dealer added option. Thanks for watching and for your comment!

[@ThePaulv12]

MadMaxCars I'm glad they're not all being cut up into interceptors. It's a bit like dukes of hazard smashing up all those dodge Chargers lol. They're a fine looking car those Aussie coupes. If I had one I'd like to fit up a Kasse Boss motor and make it look like a factory install in every detail. That would have them scratching their heads!

[@MadMaxCars]

That sounds like a fun build!

[@MrGoblin60]

It's like watching orphaned children given up for adoption! Still, I'm certain that our Aussie classics are going to go to owners who'll love and cherish them. Happy driving!

[@MadMaxCars]

These beautiful machines re getting first class restorations and going to people who really appreciate how rare and awesome they are! Thanks for watching!

[@ike780]

Is it strange that I like the rootbeer colored one as is. I've heard the build quality of these was tougher than comperable American cars.

[@MadMaxCars]

That color is called "Walnut Glow" from the factory. It actually looks really nice in person as well. That car (a true GS, and a barn find) is now in the hands of one of the most appreciating Falcon collectors in the USA. The Falcons are very well built, and seem to survive the test of time about as well as other comparable cars from the USA if not better sometimes.

[@MadMaxCars]

Sounds like an awesome machine! Would love to see it sometime! Yeah, that is a term for those same cars here in the states, but gets used a lot less these days because everyone tries to be more "PC".

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!

[@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.

XB and XA coupes some of the hardest to find cars in Australia and the yanks flog em for some movie

[@MadMaxCars]

Actually most of what we do is ground up restorations to stock specs or GT clones etc. In fact if you check out the build series videos on our channel you will see that is what went on with the cars you see here. Red Pepper XA is getting the 'XAGT treatment' while retaining its factory color. The Walnut Glow GS Fairmont was given a nice mechanical restoration while retaining its barn find patina, etc. When we do build a Mad Max replica it is usually saving a really hard luck case from the tip like this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iV7Fln6Cd56Hn5o Thanks for watching and for your comment!!

I want one of your beautiful wallowing heavy fuel guzzling early 70s Galaxie four door sedans. Such a beast. 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! Americans have good resources for doing these up to top notch standard. Say what you like about our siblings in the States, but they do very meticulous work with their car restos second to non.

[@MadMaxCars]

We can help you get one of those awesome Galaxies if you want, we do export cars all over the world as well. We actually do try to save these beautiful Coupes. Check out our series of videos called "No Falcon Left Behind" to see some of the cars most would thing beyond saving that we have saved from the tip. Most of the cars we bring in do get full factory spec restorations. We pride ourselves on doing them well, and making them top notch cars. Thanks so much for watching and for your comment!

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!

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]

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.

[@philcarr7969]

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.

[@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!

[@aussiebloke609]

I'm gonna cut across the grain with this comment - PLEASE take more coupes! I'm an Aussie living in the US for the last 25 years, and these were always my fave. Used to have an RPO-83 (basically an XA GT with factory-widened fenders, originally intended for the Phase 4 that never got mass-produced), back in the mid 80s. Wish I'd kept it - I sure can't afford one these days. Now I find I really miss seeing these on the street, so the more you bring here, the better my chances. :-)

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.

[@gtfloorfarkn6718]

Never did I think I'd see the day when our American brothers would take our humble falcon coupes, we should do a trade a few 1970 hemi challengers for 351 xa to xc coupes, fair swap haha. Hope you blokes to them justice and restore them to a decent standard, all the best.

There are very few GTs here. Probably less than 200 total XA,XB,XC falcons here in the USA including Sedans, Wagons, Utes, Panelvans and Coupes. We do have a handful of John Goss Specials, GS, Superbirds, Cobras etc, but not many. Still we love them!

I HAD AN XA AND A XB COUPE IN THE 80S AND 90S, GOD I WISH I DIDNT SELL THEM.

[@MadMaxCars]

Only just found your video You were not the first to try this! Ozports tried this in the 80's! With a catalogue of available cars ready to ship Our first car was a Yellow 351 XD that won trophies and a lot of interest, but when it came to selling, the interest waned when we were told to be able to register it in USA meant it( or similar car) had to be handed over for crash tests etc Unless the rules have changed dramatically, I'd have to think that these Coupes you are selling are undriveable on US soil, unless offroad or race track!

[@mccoit]

Hi my BAD! Just found out about the 25 year classic car rego ....We tried way too early on..........good luck with your sales!

[@MadMaxCars]

Yeah www.madmaxcars.com started the day the first XA turned 25. Been going at it ever since. Not sure if Ozports was based in the USA, but we are careful to clarify that we were the USA's first. I am sure someone somewhere was importing/exporting these cars to countries that did not have the restrictions we did here. In any case thanks very much for watching, and for your comment! Hope you like all the cool videos on our channel!
