1972 ford xa falcon gs sedan

[michelle]

this is a Australian ford xa falcon gs sedan with a 302 v8 engine I made this by taking apart my 70 ford Ltd model and i shortened the trunk and rear quarter panels and reshaped the rear window and rear side roof pillars i removed the molded in door Handles and custom made the dash a hood i knicked from a amt 70 ford Galaxie 007 police car kit the front seats and shifter and steering wheel and rims and front and back bumpers and master cylinder and engine and head lights and radio antenna and taillight panel all came from my parts boxes I painted the interior Tamiya ts-68 wooden deck tan the body I painted a base coat of rust-oleum 2x gloss purple with a top coat of eastup high performance wheel paint flash blue

the audio i have playing in the background of the video is from the 50th episode of shannon's insurance Shannon's club tv  talking all abought the history of the the xa falcon

You’ve done a great job there Michelle. I had an XA Falcon with the GS rally pack back in the 80’s ( wish l still had it! ) I’m enjoying checking out your builds. Keep ‘em coming.??

Cheers, Stu.

Thank you 
If you go to YouTube and search shannons club tv they have a lot of videos where they talk all about different Australian cars both the history for the normal cars and the ones used for Bathurst race awell as interviews with the owner of the featured car and also what they are worth and go for at Shannon’s auctions

Great looking build. Always interesting how other lands use the ford brand and the cars look so different but in some ways alike. When i was in germany fords where all over.

Great looking XA Falcon GS there Michelle. Knowing what you started with it is incredible how close you got it to look right. The GS was basically a GT without the racing stripes. Well done. 

Cheers, 

David. ??
