Australia’s Ford Falcon XY (1970–72) is the square‑jawed classic that did the school run by day and Bathurst dreams by night.
Engines spanned a 3.3‑L (200 ci) I6, 4.1‑L (250 ci) I6, 5.0‑L (302 ci) V8, and the hero 5.8‑L (351 ci) Cleveland V8; transmissions were a 4‑speed manual or 3‑speed auto.
Power (period gross figures) ranged roughly from ~90–120 kW for the sixes to ~165–224 kW for the V8s, with the GT‑HO Phase III famously quoted at 300 bhp (≈224 kW).
Kerb weight typically sat around 1.3–1.5 tonnes, so it’s more stout pub bouncer than ballerina, but it’ll happily cruise all day.
Brakes and suspension are old‑school; condition and upgrades matter more than brochure numbers on these now‑vintage beasts.
