Aussie 1972 Ford Falcon GT BARN FIND - Stored for 28 Years!

[@GlennEverittMasterofMachines]

Here's another one of our awesome finds, well worth the watch. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoekeZuDqMmLrZI

[@peterheeley8206]

Why don't YOU spend some $$$ to detail the car, give it a tune-up then film the end result ? YOU making some nice coin posting this video on KZbin so why not film another episode with the GT looking like its 1972 ? Cheap Aussies !

[@GlennEverittMasterofMachines]

@@peterheeley8206 , the owner has plans to do so himself I’m told and we’d film it in a heartbeat if that were to occur. It needs a lot more than a detail, and at a much bigger budget than I’d ever make out of uploading these videos.

What a wonderful story, walking the streets trying to find the original owner, and then finding him. Brilliant!

[@dave7072]

Memories indeed. My mate Alan & I finished school in 1980 & he bought a two door XA coupe before he got his license. He did it up, racing harness etc. It was his pride and joy. I remember driving it once or twice. Good times.

[@graemeburr6463]

Love this. I owned an Aussie built 72 XA Falcon 500, copper bronze, tan vinyl top , bone coloured interior, bench seat , non power steering 302C column shift auto, back in the 80's . Wish I still had that car. I can't remember when I last saw an XA on the road here in NZ, correct that I saw a 2v 6cyl coupe a couple of weeks back but sightings are now few and far between around here.

[@MegaROCKY001]

Has an XA GS Fairmont coupe as my first car. 6 cylinder because dad rightly wouldn't let me have a V8. But I keep thinking lately a 2v 250 XA would be great car even if not produced as a 2V. Rare as hens teeth.

[@graemeburr6463]

I think what's really special about the XA in general is that it was the first Falcon with the Australian only look ..XR XT XW and XY still influenced by the American shape...I recall my Auntie's partner had a bright red 6 cylinder XA with the 250 crossflow and three on the tree in the mid to late 1970's and I was just a teenager at the time ..The wrap around cockpit style dash was incredible...Oh for another one now.......but this GT is amazing ...

[@louiskats5116]

What a great story Glenn to reunite the original owner with this beautiful XA GT Sedan. Imagine if it was a RPO 83 as well, but still absolutely awesome. I know of a barn find a Chrysler by Chrysler CH Hardtop with the rare Landau roof option & rare left hand mirror option. Outskirts of Melbourne & it has been sitting since 1983 in the shed. Original 360 too. Also second owner alter rare, export model to Sth Africa, 1970 Valiant VG factory V8, Regal Safari Station Wagon, fully factory optioned, fully dealer optioned, 66,000 miles all original paperwork including bill of sale, order form, white roof special. The guy who has it is the second owner & has been sitting in the garage since 2005. Suburban Melbourne. Love these types of stories, old barn finds. Great video for sure.

Awesome genuine Aussie muscle car, can't believe how it was left for 28 years, all this makes me feel emotional about the 1972 XA Fairmont 500 my late father bought brand new, it was in Mission Brown exterior I believe it was called, correct me if I'm wrong, and it was a Continental with a white vinyl roof , and extended to the rear doors, I was still too young when my father sold it, otherwise I would of wanted to keep it for myself, and I actually saw it at a local house after it was sold to another owner, I know my father's XA Fairmont 500 Continental was not close as important as the XA GT in this video, but if it still exists, and I could find it, I would buy it back.

As Glenn grabbed the 'Toploader' gearknob with the 'R' beside the 2-such a raratey in itself! I remember the day the Mobile Crane came on-site to hoist the 'Red Pepper' FoMoCo Icon from its well overgrown, swampy final retired resting plot (so it seamed). Then the media got wind of it, followed by the legend himself- Allan Moffat, who had to see it with his spectacles hinself, and like everybody there,they were all in disbelief.

I'm fairly new to this channel and had no idea how well established the Aussie car culture was until I watched several of Glenn's videos - great job by the way. It's really amazing to see the similarities and differences between you guys and us (I'm from Alabama in the southern US), so I can appreciate both sides of this conversation. In order to reach the largest audience possible, I'm sure it takes a fine balance between Aussie culture and the rest of the world. For my two cents worth though, I'd lean more towards Aussie culture. I love to hear those Aussie accents, especially female! I've always heard that the Southern US female accent is rated best in the US and I'd agree with that. The female Aussie accent, well that's a whole 'nother level!
