Those Falcons are brilliant aren't they... Especially the four door versions. Want one.
Subtly supercharged T-Bird is fantastic as well.

Looks like a great event. Thanks for sharing. No worries. I'm glad I made it, even though the car I wanted to drive up broke the timing chain the day before!  I *heart* XB falcons. They do have a real presence on the road. You can still get an XB or XC for a reasonable price over here That Cedric wagon is right up my street Here is another for you!  Those Falcons are brilliant aren't they... Especially the four door versions. Want one. Subtly supercharged T-Bird is fantastic as well. Concours XY Falcon.. all the right stickers and production marks. The genuine XY GTHO's spiked in value a few years ago, one sold for over $700,000. (edit) Pictured is an 1969 XW. They don't have the shaker bonnet scoops amoung other things(edit)  They always seem to me to be a big brother for the MKII Cortina..  That T bird wasn't supercharged, there was no belt on the charger! Well, mostly supercharged. The supercharger drive wheel was rusty on the groove, so it hadn't been used in a while! A few other things were going on there too, first up a steam farmyard equipment demo  Tractors  Model rocket powered dragsters - you could hear this from everywhere!  Zephyr  Dodge  |

Far too much RHD goodness Well quite a few Chevs, Fords and Dodges were assembled in Australia. A few have been imported and converted to RHD locally too. Not many have been converted since a 30y rule came in for imported classic cars, you can keep them LHD now. |

Yeah, I really like the G9. I got it from my friend when he upgraded to a 50D. The fact it still takes good photos after being dropped onto the extended lens and being full of dust is nothing short of amazing..
