They sure were great cars, I owned an XA Falcon when I was younger, it wasn't the GT but it came with a 302 V8 and was a pretty fast car in it's day. Cheers mate.

Love reading about the Australian Fords you feature here occasionally! I found the color of this one to be strikingly similar to the yellow-ish color featured on the newer Ford Faclon XR Performance. Coincidence?

Thanks for that, I think you are correct, I have seen some Falcons getting around sporting a similar colour to this XA, cheers mate.
