7 Hot Australian Muscle Cars

[@jasonmcmillan4373]

Some serious errors in this video. The XU1 was an I6 not a V6. Worse, you posted up the '71 GTHO (probably the greatest Oz muscle car of all) and used video of a XB GT! It's a completely different car!

[@tonyc8978]

Not to mention the description was "LC GTR XU1" but every car featured was LJ...

[@sassythesasquatch1814]

Thats a huge mistake

[@Phinneaus.P.Dingleberry]

Both awesome cars, and I adore the Falcon coupes. but ya just don't mix up a XB with a XY. Australians just don't do that.

[@sharonsmith2771]

so much wrong here.

[@aussie_4204]

The xy should of made the list since thats wat did da burnout

[@impalaman9707]

The idea of a 4-door muscle car was never considered cool until the Aussies made it cool!

[@richardgrant418]

Pontiac GTO?

[@impalaman9707]

@@richardgrant418 Lemans GTO/Chevelle SS/Cutlass 442 were never four doors. Now the plain jayme Chevelle/Lemans/Cutlass models were. Let's not confuse the two

[@richardgrant418]

@ I hadn’t noticed that the GTO didn’t have back doors. Because it’s probably bigger than any four door sedan made in Australia

[@richardgrant418]

@ In the muscle car era, the GTO was nearly a foot longer than Australia’s biggest car the Fairlane. With a bigger back seat and more weight to muscle forward. And it LOOKED like a Fairlane Am I right - only one of Australia’s muscle cars had four doors? the Falcon GT. which was around 1 1/2 feet shorter than the GTO! and with a narrower back seat. God knows how much heavier the GTO was while the GTO lacked just one feature of a sedan, sit one next to a GT and the GTO almost looks like a stretch limo. More important than doors. Getting from zero to highway speed the quickest ever Aus four door the GTHO III got to 60 in 6.4 seconds in the first gen of GTOs, the ones which looked like up-sized Fairlanes every year model from 64 to 68 the quickest ones would leave the HO breathing Pontiac tire dust. They all got to 60 in between 5.2 and 4.9 seconds. Im afraid that the number of doors in a GT, versus the most tanky of the yank tank muscle cars isn’t something we can get excited about Surely a muscle car is about getting up and boogying. whether or not your kids can get into the back seat easily. Them GTOs boogyed like there was no tomorrow

[@impalaman9707]

[@rodanderson1922]

Back in the late 70's, I was a car groomer for a company who specialised in detailing cars for dealerships, and I had the pleasure of driving for approximately 30kms, a Brand New SS Torana Liftback, with the 5 liter V8 and auto box. From memory the odometer read 17 miles in total when I first got into it, and it may well have been the first one to arrive in New Zealand? It was Orange in color with the SS stripes, and, even though t was new, still had plenty of power, which, as I was young at the time, I explored as much as was possible on public roads. I had the oppertunity to drive a LOT of different cars in the years I was a groomer, but that Torana is one that has stuck in my memory.

[@jrg7951]

I always liked the Aussie Valiant Chargers, cool and different with the inline 6s. Lots of power for an inline engine. Here in the US the engines were huge V8s.

[@danielgray7961]

my dad has one

[@Pitttdog]

A lot of the cars were mislabelled and were not to spec. The VL engine bay shot is not of an original VL SS Group A, the 1971 Falcon GT HO there is not a 71- and the list of mistakes goes on .....

[@Darkpixies]

yeap just bits and pieces from where ever

[@johncarne1055]

This clip is so wrong. they did not show an A9X they did not show a GTHO Phase 3 the charger was a modified v8 NOT the muscle e38 or E49 models the Torana UU1 was an LJ not an LC the leyland force 7 why include that ? sadly a bit of research would of made the Aussie muscle car line up so much better so go google Ford Falcon GTHO Phase 3 then the LX torana A9X then the Torana LH L34 whayt about Monaro 350 the Falcon Xa rpo the list goes on n on

Ford Falcon Cobra is a dream car. Also love the Chrysler Valiant Charger and Holden Monaro. Right up there with gen 2 Pontiac Firebird and Tri Five Chevy.

[@barryphillips7327]

Correction, the six cylinder Holden Torana,s were straight six not a V6. The chargers that raced at bathurst were hot 6,s triple side draft carbs. Most of the Chargers were 6,s more than V8,s.

[@ifanramadhana7833]

2:51 Actually the Leyland Force 7 wasn't officially sold to general public. 60ish prototype were made and due to collapse of Leyland P76 sales (the saloon that Force 7 was based on). Leyland Australia cancel the model and 8 cars were sold to public by means of factory auction. 1 car is kept by Leyland Australia for prosterity and the rest was scrapped. Reportedly to increase the value of the remaining 8 cars. Which is shame because P76 is a briliiant cars and even won 1971 Wheels Car of the Year awards.

[@ianmontgomery7213]

I had a drive of one on my 21st birthday (may moons ago!!). It was quite a good vehicle.

[@rossbrumby1957]

Other than your bizarre love for 4 doors....you Aussies have some awesome cars!

[@7s29]

Davesnothere Man 4 doors were marketed to the man that had a family but, wanted a bit of muscle. So they raced a few that way, and the public loved it. My muscle car is a e38 Bathurst Charger but, my daily is a Chrysler 300 SRT8 CORE. I love the fact it's a V8, and has plenty of room, which makes it practical.

[@thehastywombat]

The XR - XY did NOT use a Mustang chassis hahahaha

[@thehastywombat]

Righto champ. I've owned numerous Australian Ford Falcons and a current Mustang, and I can tell you unequivocally they do NOT use the Mustang chassis in any form. The phrase "heart of the Mustang" refers to it engine you numbskull.

What an awesome job of posting videos and descriptions of Australian classic cars, it’s a shame that a 2 minute google search would have alerted you that your descriptions were shit.. Basically what should have been ,a good attempt to make a video for you tube has tuned to s**t by poor research and poor understanding of what the subject matter was.😡😤 Getting a vote down for being a slack arse and not doing your research.but will probably subscribe on the hope that you do better next time,

[@theodorepahos9610]

The GTR-XU1 ‘s in the beginning are not LC’ They are LJ . The LC was never designated as an XU-1 but only as as GTR . The LJ held the designation of GTR-XU1 . Also rear lights and front grill was different between both cars and easily noticeable . The Last Torana showed said 77 A9X . Pls if you are going to call a car A9X at least show a real one not Granny’s old shopping vehicle with some bad mods .

[@hopebear06]

That was an XY at the end of the XB shots.

[@tonyc8978]

However, if you read the main heading, it says X"Y" GT HO 351; the featured car (an X"B" GT351) was incorrect for the segment...

[@redneckkhoekhoe6511]

the correct statement would be why was the XB at the start of the XY segment

[@pattoallen1981]

I've never seen a v6 in an xu1 Torana 2 a a9x Torana was a hatchback as far as I was aware

[@Eric_412]

A9X Toranas were also made in a 4 door, very limited though. A mate of mine had one in absolute mint condition in 1988 and sold it for $13,000 in 1989..

[@theodorepahos9610]

Yes very true . There was the L34 Slr 5000 A9X and it came in a 4 door although the 2 door was the one made in limited numbers . More 4 doors were available at production .

[@vincekara9446]

Ahhh .. the good 'ol Aussie muscle!

[@michaellafalce7350]

Ford is American but I think that falcon was built in Australia if I am correct.

[@ifanramadhana7833]

Michael La Falce Falcon first used in 1960 for "compact" (or otherwise medium saloon everywhere) car in US. This version was made from 1960 to 1970. Australian Ford originally assembled that model and after the US production ceased, they develop their own Falcon.

[@madlionau]

The Falcon was built in Aus from 1960 ... it was originally based on the US falcon but wasn't entirely the same ... 1967 onwards purely Aus models

[@jasonmcmillan4373]

Michael La Falce The first models were American, but when the Falcon name was killed off in America Ford Australia engineers designed an all new car and kept selling them as Ford Falcons, becoming the longest running name badge in Australia auto history. They were designed by us, built by us, & bought & driven almost exclusively by us, making them as Australian as it comes.

[@madlionau]

The first aus model was based on the american one it was similar but not not the same

[@TEEDEEONTOUR]

Michael La Falce your right Falcons are the sexiest things what have come out of ford

[@victorbitter583]

What an absolute fail of a video. I won't type an essay into why but nearly everything in this video is false in some way or another. Whoever researched this should be fired!

[@ifanramadhana7833]

All the car except the Force 7 was made as Homologation models for racing at Bathurst. Just testament on how racing improve the breeds.

[@buddygamingdaily]

only problem is the force 7 needs to be swapped for the xy phase 3 gtho and well have a proper list

[@rossbrumby1957]

Chrysler didn't make a v8 charger for bathurst. It didn't even option a manual gearbox for a v8 until later models well after leaving motor racing.

[@klaudijavorih5809]

Great list!

[@ifanramadhana7833]

3:11 the spec that you are showing is for Charger 770 which is sort of the personal luxury car type rather than muscle car. The Valiant Charger that they used for racing is the R/T model that features 265cu (4.3 L) V8. The reasom for smaller engine was that the heavier engine makes the car front heavy and requires early braking than the smaller V8. So compromised were made.

[@victorpetroff830]

Ifan Ramadhana the 265 hemi'was a six fitted with triple Weber carbs factory fitted chargers fitted with this set up were called r/t 6pack track pack

[@keptinkaos6384]

265 was a six with triple webbers

[@billmcle]

the 265 was a 6 not a V8

[@keptinkaos6384]

and a Hemi head motor to the 1st was in the 71 it was the black motor i owned one oh 36 years ago

[@paspax]

"Hemi" sixes were not hemi head engines.

[@davidjackson2524]

The Ho,den Torano looks very like the European Opel Chevette from the 70s.

[@3L15harp]

great vid but almost every car was either described wrong or the clips chosen were of highly modified versions of the cars and not true depictions of the cars at all, most the descriptions were wrong or details were incorrect, all said and done tho great vid and awesome cars, perhaps you could do another with a bit more research and standard versions as well as modified versions of the Best Muscle cars in the world from Australia, maybe do the top models,, Gt Ho, X-ABC, Cobra, Escort, Caprice, Gtr Xu1, A9x, Slr5000, Commodore-vc-vz, Valiant Charger, perhaps some Bathurst history etc.

[@nevilleburley8760]

Missed a few really good models from over here like HT and HG GTS Monaros (Chevy engined), or the rare VC S3 inline 6 turbo other than that not too bad.

[@rodanderson1922]

The XU1 had a Straight 6 Engine, NOT a V6, and niether the Leyland P76 Force & nor the Phase 4 GTHO were sold to the public? The Performance Model Valiant Chargers were either the E38 or E49, both of which were powered by modified 265 Cubic Inch Six Cylinder Motors, NOT a 340 Cubic Inch V8 as represented here? The Torana shown here I don't believe is a genuine A9X either? which leads me to wonder if the person who compiled this list knew what he was talking about

The Holden Toranos look like 70s Opels from the side which are also from GM up until 2017.

[@emptyglassful]

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you got a heap of stuff wrong. GT HO Phase 3 was the fastest 4 door production car until the 90's with a 351 V8. The Charger E49 was the fastest accelerating production car with 1/4 mile time in low 13's and held that record for many years and did it with a 265 ci straight six putting out 302 BHP, well over the 1hp per CI that was the standard at the time. Way more than a Brock VL Condomodore of some 20ish years later. GM/Holden had to shoehorn a 6 cyl red motor into what was a pommy 4 cyl Vaxhaul to compete. The Charger you showed was nothing like an R/T, the A/C Cobra was not a GT HO Ph3, the Torana XU1 was close but you didn't mention the A9X. Perhaps you need to get you crystals aligned, you can do that with a Brock polariser from those silly VL's. Show some respect for aussie muscle dude. Google is your friend. Look up the XA GT phase 4, the E55 Charger, and whatever overpowered under engineered plans GM had at the time. And ask around with some old timers. Your making good utoobs but you might not look so silly with some facts on your side

[@misfiring_system]

The GT-R XU1 has a 202ci Inline 6 not a V6.

[@keptinkaos6384]

most of those were highly modded bogan wagons agreed

[@AntR711]

Probably already picked-up on by someone but... the GTR Torana's came with a straight / inline six cylinder, not a V6

How rare is that Leyland Force 7?. My dad had a (shudder) P76 and I have never heard of the Force 7. Also you showed 2 Torana's, but why no HG GTS Monaro's or Phase III GTHO's?, they are probably the most famous and valuable of all the Aussie muscle cars (a GTHO went for 1.5 million a few weeks ago)

2:05 Ahh yeah the Plastic Pig. This car is an homologation special for Group A Holden so they can participate in Bathurst. This car is actually continuation of last year Group A SS which is made by Holden Dealer Team (HDT) that is led by controversial Peter Brock. The story goes that Peter Brock use "crystal" to "bend molecules" that makes the car "stick to the road" and this pseudo science device proves to be too much for Holden and they cut off relationship with HDT as their factory racing team. Instead they turn to rising Tom Walkinshaw and formed Holden Special Vehicles or HSV and this is their first car. It has more extreme bodywork to increase downforce and the engine was updated to be more reliable and the car won races throughout 1988... that is in few years Godzilla will decimate Australian touring cars championship.

[@jasonbatchelor3509]

Ifan Ramadhana thanks for that useless piece of information. And unlike the group A SS before it, VK , the vl was the first fuel injected v8 and was a 4.9lt. And godzilla wouldnt be half the car without its pansy 2 turbos.

[@manofwar577]

Jason Batchelor They won due to their enormous budget, they brought the 2 best drivers they could for that season, and had the best engineers from japan, and why?, because it was so coveted to beat australian manufacturers in their backyard in what is probably the hardest circuit in the world, they knew what it meant for sales, so did walkinshaw in his jags, bmw, the list goes on.....

[@aussieausdeutschland4245]

Actually the Plastic Pig, Walkingstick won fuck all race's, the Ford Sierra RS500 won everything and dominated the series till Godzilla came along. I never liked the HSV Group A SS, too much going on whereas the Brock SS Group A looked nice with its simple bodykit

[@87xfute]

How did you come to the conclusion a Torana has a V6 in it when they have a straight 6 !!

[@anfnifarr]

87xfute I've seen this confusion in another video about the Charger, which also claimed it had a V6 engine. The answer seems to be that the video compiler read the spec-sheet which described the cars' triple two-barrel carburetion, which is often written as 6v with "v" standing for "venturi" (aka "barrel' or "bbl") So, a triple two-barrel carby setup is described as 6v induction. Then "6v" gets confused with "V6". Simple mistake by a simple person.

The Leyland force 7 was from 1973 not 1976, Leyland Australia folded in 1974. Also that isn't 1971 Ford Falcon GTHO, It's XB Falcon GT from 1973-1976. That Torana is not a A9X, But just a modified 1974-1978 LH or LX Torana

That falcon looks like a ford Capri on steroids! Always amazes me how America and it seems Australia can make an engine like a 5.8L V8 and it only makes something like 240bhp lol? In England we make engines that could fit on a dinner plate that produce more than that! And our European V8’s are more like 4L and more like 500-600bhp! It’s almost impressive in its own right to make something so meaty produce such little horsepower

Would you be comparing something like an XJR 4.2 supercharged engine to a 4.3 litre hemi triple webbered six? Don't forget there's 31 years of r+d between those 2 motors. I love both engines but now I can only afford a Jag, as the Chargers are way too expensive.

You have made several mistakes in this video.. The xu1 Toranas didn’t have v6 motors, and the 1972 Ford GT was not a GTHO.

[@inconvenienttruth1528]

The A9X in this Video is probably an L34..... or an SLR5000 as they did'nt make alot of the L34 versions The L34 was an earlier Model and a 4 Door. The A9X was a 2 Door coupe , well that's what they raced mostly as the 2 door body shape replaced the 4 door. The A9X ,2 door was the same body as the Sunbird that had a 4 cylinder opel engine. Had lots of fun calling Brett Turner's ( my mate ) A9X a sunbird ...Pissed him off big time ....lol The GTR XU1 was a straight red motor 186 ???? But had Triple Webbers and other racy stuff from memory.They Hammered and my other mate rolled his 8 times near the Coolbellup hotel. Then got just a GTR next which also flew too. Just touch your foot on the go peddle and you where spinning in 360's...alot of fun...lol Hey Thanks for the Video, i was not being critical . Yes some of the models not Exactly match up .I get it as it is not easy getting the video's of the Exact car that you were talking about. But Great effort and i Enjoyed the Video Thanks Mate brings back many good memories .

I'd go even further mate... I'd say the "A9X" more than likely started life as a poverty pack L or SL at best, judging by the standard bodyshell.

[@josephpetherick9720]

Xu1 was a straight 6☹️

[@bencezavarko7312]

So you put two Toranas in the video from which one of them is a 6 cyl and you left out the Monaros. Great. Maybe it needed more cars and should not be named hottest muscle cars just hottest Australian cars

[@abdullah_carart5638]

Your videos are always awesome!

[@pantera6343]

This vid is all over the place 🤪 Why showing a mocked xbgt falcon and saying it’s a gtho??

[@Nat-jf2ge]

Where's the Holden Camira? 🙂

[@jeffersonneeson1535]

Where's the monaro

[@mickeymouse1697]

lol who made this video ???lol

[@jaithansquires6109]

This dude doesn’t really know what his talking about when it comes to Australian cars

[@kittehishere4247]

I am depressed at the realisation that Australian muscle has much more muscle than American muscle.

[@gazoline7093]

the one that said GT HO that was an XB GT 351 ford never made a XB GT HO only a XW,XY and XA GT HO so which one are you referring to

[@hifives2]

your right that green xb was a phase 4 gt incorrectly badged as a gtho

[@reganv8180]

You forgot the 1972 Holden Monaro hq gts

[@Calais05]

GTR XU-1 had a straight six not a V6

[@jimbray3812]

Hey Car News TV. Don't post stuff without getting your facts straight. Too many glaring errors here.

[@shaneogallagher831]

No Holden commodores?

[@wingwalker7212]

Interesting differences between Aussie and American cars: America doesn’t refer to 4 doors or 6 cylinders as muscle cars - maybe a performance sedan or cruiser, and is date specific. Only 60’s and 70’s model 2 door/coupes are truly muscle cars. Some millennials, gen x or gen y’s may believe later (1980+) cars fit this category but they don’t. Real muscle cars in the US are 1960-1979 2 door coupes with V8 engines and simple fuel, electrical, driveline and suspension systems easily modified for better performance by anyone with basic mechanical knowledge. That being said I love Aussie performance cars, especially the ones that can go around a corner!

[@VG-iq8xq]

How about the Buick GN and especially the GNX!

[@saltydog888]

I apologise now but I don’t know why anyone thinks those Walkinshaws look good.

[@mikesbbody]

I would have thought they would have more H.P and Torque all I've ever owned is American Muscle I've never considered a 4 door car as a muscle car the best looking IMO is the 2 door Ford some of those car's are definitely not "Stock"

[@kymwatson8345]

the best looking australian ford of this era was the xb ford gt 4 door with 2 tone paint (ie silver highlight panels on a blue base colour)

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

The VH Charger they showed had a big block not a 340. Did some school girls make this video? & where the fuck is the 350 Monaro & the Phase III?
