Whoever that thought this video would be a good idea... I'm gonna find you, and i'm gonna ... thank you

[@AutoAgitator]

The beginning, the color grading, the quality. Great job capturing the mood!

[@Samsgarden]

When Australia had an identity

[@klasseact6663]

This is like a Petrolicious video, well done guys😎

[@jamesyoo4779]

At first I swore I clicked on a Petrolicious video

[@samrit123in]

I thought the same too. But its more technical than the recent videos on Petrolicious.

[@sonofjak1971]

How come the gentleman and his car ended up in the UK?

[@stuartchristie654]

Love that Mad Max style chase shot...wicked video

[@nvrlftofficial]

Nice film, but would have liked to know more about why and how he ended up in the UK. Can't be too many Aussie muscle cars cruising UK streets.

[@alastairwatson3201]

Onya, bloke! Good to see an Aussie Falcon in the UK.

[@aussieausdeutschland4245]

Would've been nice for a little back story on how this bloke and his XC ended up in the UK too

[@kennethporter992]

Great music selections that captured the mood and kicked up the cool factor of this video several notches

[@NativeTexMexican]

We all need an escape... Yours is way better than mine, but I get you. Nice car man.

[@grecoconduris6716]

Nice car. This guy is far more articulate and intelligent that your average Aussie muscle car enthusiast.

[@aussieausdeutschland4245]

Greco Conduris I think you are referring to the common Holden Commodore driving Bogan....

[@Thetrucky69]

Greco Conduris. "than" your average NOT "that" 😉

[@nunyabizness9955]

Free tip: when mocking people's intelligence, don't make yourself look like a bigger dunderhead. Always check spelling, otherwise your comment will backfire on you.

[@grecoconduris6716]

@@nunyabizness9955 I don't care

[@evildeadlyCOOKIE]

I love 70s muscle cars!

[@kennethporter992]

I love that you all are focusing more on story now. I enjoy those videos a lot more and it's different from what the rest of the pack is doing

[@BenHelweg]

Nice format, well put together.

[@GlenB1963]

Nice. I owned an x b gt in my single life. Wish I still had it. Only Aussie Ford owner would understand as your video describes.

[@smellyhippi]

I love stories like this, it gives me inspiration to one day do a restoration myself, need a shed first though..

[@andrewmoorhouse687]

Totally bonkers - just love it!

[@sabbathian]

You should make a one hour video of that engine runnin...

[@elz380bignuts5]

Great vid guys 👍👍 captured the mood for the cat 👌

[@caratcranker5874]

I had a 1979 XC Update Panel Van for 10 years. Ended up ditching the 250 crossflow, for an XA 351, 9 inch, Toploader set up. Xc's had pretty weak flexy panels, they LOVED sill rust and door well rust. I installed the GXL dash as well, it drove very tight. Air shocks on the rear, lol, and monroe shocks all around, lowered front. I did Yarra Glen to Mansfield EARLY one morning, in 35 minutes @ 180KPH MOST of the way.

[@PiliaeAl]

watched this several times!

[@17XeviousGreen]

I'm getting distinct Petrolicious vibes from this video. Never a bad thing

[@PahMadPig]

Mad built!

[@soaringbeyond]

Clicked on this because the thumbnail reminded me of my dad's ford capri the lines look the same with the addition of rear doors! Capri sportback!

[@Miragedude28]

POWER!!!! Is all I think when I see this car.

[@abdelhameedbarqawi2907]

I respect the time and effort that went through this built .. good job sir 👍🏻

[@warrenheslip692]

Way too go my friend. O have an xb big block...o know exactly how you feel.!

[@magpilot7465]

Same year and model as my ute, the end of the finest era here

[@gazoline7093]

i have a 1976 xc falcon ute that i am currently restoring i just finished the engine today

[@chrisF351]

NASTY.....love it👍👌😊

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

awesome car, I had one myself, but like a few people have asked, WHY AND HOW is this Aussie bloke and his fat XC in the UK?

[@issorjmedia7770]

Higgo he got it shipped over

[@radioaustralia5070]

His not in the U. K its a trick to make people believe his not in oz and so cops can't find him

[@pauldunlea6745]

Last of the real heavy steel fords

[@sharons9367]

Watching this I must say from your comments you are a true petrol head ! I call my xw gt medicine it does fix my problems

[@koringn]

My favourite car

[@zachtaylor9906]

Watch it once a month.. maybe 50 times now

[@koringn]

Reminds me of my dads back in the late 80s

[@whatthafuckisthis]

[@gordonhodgson8403]

How did you go getting all the parts for the 400M?

[@jimclarke1108]

Real car

[@Thetrucky69]

One fucken TUFF mean car 💪👀👍

[@lffit]

I once had an XC Fairmont 2 door Hardtop a 4.1 litre auto in a kind of Lime green colour loved the bloody thing I used to sell them, but this number sorry a potential deathtrap lol

[@jamesfrench7299]

This model should have been one of the yellow pursuit vehicles in Mad Max, but they were on a low budget and there were no XCs being retired as cabs in 1979.

[@Dags470]

Fuck yeah

[@londonman7329]

she needs to stay in the UK !

[@ThePussukka]

What is the music in this video? Some spooky dark ambient for sure but can I have a link to the track?

[@joeferreri818]

we need a vl on this channel asap

[@rhettcorbett3346]

Classic not Plastic. If it ain't steel it ain't real. XClent. Ford Power. As Goose said in the MFP underground carpark scene- Kick er in the Guts Barry.

[@Pandamasque]

Should have been "The Thunder Down Under".

[@MyRealName]

So.. Petrolicious renamed to Carfection?

[@RobertoCristino]

Wait...what channel am i on? Carfection or Petrolicious?

[@stephane_edouard]

Where is Alex gone ?

[@bambychoi9366]

Hommes d'influence Motor1UK - still on KZbin

[@351clevelandmodifiedmotor4]

my 351 has 400 cam, it is no slouch 7000 rpm

[@samhianblackmoon]

🤤

[@nativeeurope1299]

Muscle car or a street machine? or is that just playing with semantics? No doubt about it though it sure is a nice looking car.

[@SonOfTamriel]

7:35 TIL Canada Geese live in Australia, or is this New Zealand

[@nvrlftofficial]

The car looks to be in the UK. Definitely not Australia or NZ.

[@aussieausdeutschland4245]

Rego plates say UK to me.

[@donaldd1612]

I like a Xc, but a tuff Xd or Xe does it for me more.. the boxy stuff low and wide..

[@thrillseekanz7874]

@Politically Incorrect tell that to Dick Johnson and the Greens Tuff XD. You're an idiot mate.

[@nunyabizness9955]

XD? Ew! XD is Australia's answer to the VW Golf - so boring its offensive. 😅

[@1970CobraTorino]

These scoops on falcons look horrendous!

[@nunyabizness9955]

Yeah, I prefer the look of the stock Falcon hood scoops myself. Nice Torino btw.

[@iandavidson99]

First - BOOM!

[@won93r]

'straya

[@jeffmantle2468]

The standard XC 351 was only 161 kw. Nothing compared with today's performance

[@SkyyMi]

Great documentary. But does anyone find it ironic that they just added this car to pixelcar racer.

[@myjizzureye]

I got 780hp without nitro with my Supercharged LSA GenF2 GTS. Its got stock trans converter and stock diff ratio. My sister drives it when I am over seas to keep her limber. Nobody thats driven it has been scared of it and it will light them at 100kmph with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 on it. I guess its what you get used to.

[@Dags470]

The Falcon doesn't run nitro either. It runs nitrous. Very different.

[@thrillseekanz7874]

He's getting that power naturally aspirated. Your little LS can't do that.

[@willross4125]

Mention health cool.

[@stuartpinder3807]

when you're done put her back in the shed please

[@nooch8692]

Dull day? Change the white balance and she all good.

[@miurasvlamborghini]

Nitro is common slang for the vehicle running on nitro methane gas. It is not a term used for nitrous.....

[@mattblack9344]

Old ford's smell nice.

[@Law19157]

Will have to convert that to CNG once oil becomes scarce not EV because batteries are made from finite materials and that too will run out. Anyhoo, that things got 900hp but can only do 10 sec 1/4 mile? must be the weight and tires not sticking

[@Phillz91]

I don;t recall him mentioning a 1/4mile time. He said the car only goes 140mph but gets there in 10 seconds; that isn't indicative of a 1/4 mile time, just a bit of hyperbole. (CBF to re-watch the video so if he mentions it in another section feel free to quote it.)

[@Law19157]

I suppose I miss understood what he said

[@Claunnx]

S65 AMG COUPE PLEASE!

[@garymarquett7989]

People knocked back an XC for a XD...ppppffffttt😆

[@bluespig1]

Pity the bonnet line is ruined by the scoop. That ain't Australian.

[@nunyabizness9955]

Nice car, but its a street machine, not a muscle car. XC Falcon Cobra is a muscle car.

[@MickDavies]

Straya!

[@Paul_Zernick]

Nice try. It's all about coupes, and XA/XB's at that. Had a XB in 90/91 canary yellow GT 4 door. Couldn't buy one now. Sold it when I joined the army. Such is life.

[@TheMr1RAD]

While it is 'all about coupes', the XC is the more refined of the XA-C generation. The sedans are the overlooked examples of the Falcons and besides, someone's toy is someone's toy and if they love it then that's all that matters. Besides, as an Aussie it is cool to see an Aussie beast tearing it up overseas, seeing it in the UK is great. Also, in fact, the XB was the least favourable of the GT Falcs ever built, aimed at being a laid back cruiser rather then ferocious like the XY and XA were, and FYI, Canary Yellow is a Holden colour, I believe you mean Yellow Blaze

[@Paul_Zernick]

carguy _351 was 26 years ago😜 next car after came back from somalia was supposed to be a JG 302 hardtop. Ended up with a 351 '80 fairlaine. Couple of Holden's, couple of discos now all euro. Pretty much over old cars now.

[@TheMr1RAD]

V8Ziggy good stuff mate and yeah, the old cars can be quite annoying. Thanks for your service though mate!!

[@Paul_Zernick]

carguy _351 cheers bro👍

[@rowboyto156]

Wheres that bald dude at

[@allensaunders449]

u mother pancit! I think he is no longer on this channel he was good but henry ex evo ex drivetribe is here he is very good also

[@chrisslater2222]

Henry is the nuts.

[@nativeeurope1299]

Funny that the XD could have ever been more popular than the XC. The XD would have to have been one of the ugliest big cars ever created.

[@rodneymcgiveron]

why would anybody with a brain and a beaut xc want to move to bloody England ..Makes no sense...

[@allensaunders449]

It is idd for an american why i am to see how surprising very high hp muscle cars are to you here in socal there are some very special modified muscle cars with a 1000+hp many are better engineered then this one no matter what the gentleman thinks
