WILL IT START? take 2 Xa falcon edition

[@stanleybaker5860]

Really nice to hear that lovely old falcon 6 engine.

[@Techbitznpcs]

good to see it running, it is a fairly quiet 6 for something that has been sitting around for awhile.

[@robertshemory3541]

Looking forward to seeing more. Cheers 😎✌️👍❤️

[@TigerRogers0660]

I hope you sell it & i hope that someone does a resto & keeps it original !!

[@paulcoote3094]

It all depends on how bad and how much rust. With your knowledge, your best placed to advise on whats required to remedy rust. Are we looking at replacement sills, pillars, floors etc???? Because $6k quickly escalates into $50k required to get it back to its structural baseline.

[@karlvanboxel561]

Luv the XAs

[@jason35177]

Its worth 6k. I've been looking at wagons for ages. There was a green xb in Sydney for 3.5k for ages but it wasn't complete and original 6cyl was swapped for a later one. Yours is more complete, runs and its an xa. And roof, mmm its straight 👌

[@stevefoster6299]

I'm guessing, but most likely the thermostat is closed causing the lack of water flow. Probably open up when it gets to temperature.

[@peterstortenbeker644]

There's life in the old yet. Hope it goes to a good home to get restored.

[@tonyblackie3277]

Hey really appreciate the channel - just discovered after selling the family Falcon after 50 years 😢 Also appreciate your not swearing but please beware the blasphemy. Any updates re bush/WA Fairlane at all? Again keep up the great work 😊

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

Tell him he's dreaming haha Its a cool Patina car

[@bill13690]

Great video there, Graham.

[@philb386]

That car is far to good to part out Graeme, I would buy it today for 6k, but the cost of freight to NZ kills that idea.

[@morantaylor]

The wind down rear glass was part of the air conditioning system ;)

[@MrButtonpresser]

These days she’s a $6000 car. Back in the 90s she would have been a $600 car. They ain’t making them anymore.

[@xacoupeguy]

Found the old rego papers today, last on the road in 1995

[@GeeenJ]

need to talk peter into buying it graham lol perfect parts car for his sedan we'll be in adelaide friday / saturday if you want thoses badges

[@xacoupeguy]

[@GeeenJ]

[@boss351gt6]

Hey mate this might turn into more of a project XB than a flipper?

[@brycechessum4684]

Its a Falcon six of course it will run,it will have rust its a XA, had one certainly dont want another but someone could make a nice car out of it

[@edcass9]

I hope no one buys it for a parts car, its a true survivor! Fix rust, rego, drive it!

[@markbehr88]

Certainly has potential. 👍

[@damienwilloughby]

$6000 🤔

[@graememcintosh7371]

It's ALIVE. 🎉🎉

[@davidbarnsley8486]

At least you got it running Graeme It was probably parked because it overheated and now has a damaged head gasket maybe 👍👍

[@chrisgreig5628]

How much work to get it on the road ? paperwork wise . just interested .

[@xacoupeguy]

More than 5mins it'll need a numbers check here in SA, Victoria not a clue

[@morantaylor]

@@xacoupeguy In Victoria I suspect it is the normal get a RWC then book in for registration inspection.

[@danphillips2461]

another project for Peter!!! or parts car for sedan!

[@PeterAndersons]

Oh absolutely, I love it. Hey Graham, wanna swap for a 2 door Merc?

[@pnr9730]

XA ALL THE WAY.

[@kevinspinner5428]

That rear tailgate winder is worth 6g.

[@nevillemills9517]

Thermostat not working?

[@xacoupeguy]

Probably stuck

[@batmanlives6456]

It’s a 250 Of course it will go

[@paulorchard7960]

Sure you want to sell Graham? A weeks work, zero dollars on parts and bits and you would have a nice patina car you could get 15 K for! Bit of elbow grease is really all it needs!😅

[@xacoupeguy]

It needs more than a week

[@russelblackwell6041]

no room at Petes place lol

[@morantaylor]

Its not a V8....

[@PeterAndersons]

@@morantaylor That could easily be sorted... but yeah, no room or funds! Cheers.

[@bigears4014]

I wouldn't pay 2k for it ,

[@xacoupeguy]

Thanks for your comment!!

[@einfelder8262]

Is it just me who can't believe there is anyone crazy enough in Australia to fork out $10k for a POS? They were no bloody good when new, deadly on a damp road where they would swap ends faster than a VW Beetle

[@paulcohen142]

Yeah just you….

[@einfelder8262]

@@paulcohen142 Nah, nobody who agrees with me would bother to watch the video, I don't really know why I did either. So your argument is ridiculous because only those who love rusty POS ford wagons of old would watch.

[@xacoupeguy]

@@einfelder8262 you are 100% entitled to your opinion, and thanks for watching either way 🙂

[@bradhall402]

I reckon its bloody great wagon ! Go the long roofs

[@PeterAndersons]

Prices are high for these old Aussie cars and it's important to remember that the XA was a very short lived model, only being available for 18 months. Where there were 130,000 made, most fell victim to rust and their low 80's, 90's and early 2000's values. It would be interesting to know current numbers, but I doubt it would be huge. Basically most old Aussie cars were very agricultural, but if kept under cover, had the ability to last many many decades and are dead simple to repair, that's why we love them.
