Dramatic music WHY??
I can't believe they had the balls to put a Cleveland and top loader in such an ugly piece of shit. I had a 70 torino coupe , canarie yellow with black bucket interior. Giant ford script above the rear wheel on the quarter panel. I finally found out that it had been a special ordered disc brake rear window defogger factory built oval track car. It had 300 gears in the rear. Would do 60 in first, 90 in second and the speedo said 120 and it would easily do way more than that in third. Who the hell knows how fast it would run in fourth. I never was brave enough to find out!
Shame you did not put a cover over whole car
It beggars belief that 1,000's of AUS Dollars were spent in getting a Car out of a Garage, why didn't they ramp it over the Pool & through the Fence? & for me there was too much bloody talking. Just goes to show there are barmy People with too much Money.
I love aussie style when it comes to cars as an American from the southeast. They're just so similar as far as gear heading. They build what we build except for the four-door thing and I love the clevelands best small block ever made! 🍻
Glenn whatever happened with the XYGT build up or is this it in the opening photo?
It's only a 4 door
Thats soooooooo F…..g COOL it bought tears to my eyes.
Why would you let it get into that state…unbelievable
It's worth it, my god that unicorn has a sexy bum….I am not a car person but old ford muscle cars in the X series are just sexy.
Good pressure clean would of been nice 👍
I'm a Holden man, through & through, but this is epic!
There are certain individuals that do not deserve cars
What sort of idiot builds a pool and blocks access for the car. Unbelievable 😂
I bet every bloke and boys on the street that day wished it was theirs 😢
As an American I see the styling of this car somewhere between a Gran Torino and A Cougar.
Working on people’s homes it’s amazing what you find in sheds and backyard and the stories that they tell . For some people it’s not about the money. they just want to own it .life gets away from them and it just sits there .
To those who commented it’s only a four door and it’s not worth owning,. Sorry that it doesn’t meet your expectations but Ford knew exactly what they were doing ..Build a high preference car a family could use as a daily driver and a two door to corner the rest of the market In actual fact the two doors was slow to move of the show room floor.Finally the four doors sell for a hundred plus
I am a American who appreciates Australian muscle cars Ford or Holden ever since I first seen the first Mad Max move with the 1974 Ford Australian Falcon XB GT. This is awesome 4 Door Sports Sedan with a 351-Cleveland and a 4Speed. You wouldn’t get that in the states. 74 was the last year ford offered a 351-Cleveland and a 4Speed transmission wasn’t even a option. The only engine offered after 74 was a variant of the Cleveland called a 351-M (modified) till 78 or 79 end of production.
I found an original XW GT in a shed up in the Blue Mountains around 25 years ago. I offered the guy 10 grand. he said I could have it if I could come up with the money that day. Unfortunately it was a Saturday afternoon so no banks open. I called him first thing Monday but unfortunately someone else bet me to it…. So Close
The back of that car looks almost like a dodge challenger
How come there these cars are found in sheds but call them barn finds ???
Wonder where it is now
The XA GT Sedan was equipped with a range of V8 engines, including the 351 cubic inch Cleveland V8, which provided strong performance and a distinctive V8 exhaust note. It was available with both manual and automatic transmissions.
In terms of design, the XA GT Sedan featured a bold and aggressive appearance, with a sporty front grille, hood scoops, and unique GT badging. It was offered in a range of vibrant colors and often featured racing stripes and other performance-oriented styling elements.
The Ford Falcon XA GT Sedan is highly regarded among automotive enthusiasts and collectors, and it holds a special place in Australian automotive history as a powerful and iconic muscle car.
I love seeing those car to be restore again <3
Please some body 🙏 tell me this has been fully restored .. and now is driven ..
Well do if
Can you stop calling it a “barn” find ?? You found it under a HOUSE, you were there and WE ALL SAW IT UNDER A HOUSE. Just drop the Yank shit mate. !!
