Falcon History
|
The XA Falcon |
| The XA was an all new Falcon launched in 1972. It was the
first Falcon to be totally designed by Australians, as production
of the Falcon in the US had ceased. It also marked the return
of the Falcon hardtop, and the streamed shaped of the Falcon
made this coupe the sexiest Australian car ever. Sadly though,
the GTHO was to be no more, thanks to party-pooping politians,
who merely saw it as a road-rage weapon. The XA was the biggest
Falcon yet, with the boldest styling. The XA GT is the most
unique of all the GT's as the guards and bonnett is like no
other,we predict that in years to come a good XA will be very
rare as some XA's were made with a sealing compound that turned
to acid with moisture. not alone Thankfully they used this compound
on Datsuns 200B's. Datsun 200B's boots have a big corrison issue.
In 1973 Ford replaced the phase 4 GTHO Falcon [4 vehicles] that
had been the victem of political pressure and media claims of
160mph supercars with the XA GT RPO 083, 131 sedans and 129
coupes were constructed. These vehicles entered the market place
with no fuss or advertised claims, only people in the know knew
of its existence. Not so now, a RPO 083 is the next prize to
a collecter to park beside that phase 3 XY GTHO Falcon. |
