INSIDE GARAGE: Tony's '73 Ford Falcon XA GT 

You rarely see XA's and XB's on the street these days, really nice to see a super clean one like this getting used properly and not hidden away in a garage under a car cover.

This car is the reason I feel in love with Ford's, so good to see it so well looked after.

The owner of the XA is right. Its a childhood love, seeing your father in one, it holds a special place in your heart. 100% agree.

Hi Tony,I've watched the video about 10 times now love it,still waiting for you to take me for a cruise. Best restored XA in the country without a doubt. Congrats on a fine aussie legend. Regards cousin Steve S.

Nothing better then an old beauty going through the National Park

Stunning looking XA, much respect 👍

Brooooo. As a Kiwi I love Aussie muscle cars. That Falcon looks mean As Broooo. Big respect.

I had a red 72 sedan, thanks for sharing and bringing memories back

Love the XA Coupe mate, Looks and sounds superb, you done a marvelous job on it.

If Chip Foose likes your car brother ... means you did a lot right ... Well Done Man

Beautiful coupe, Humbleness in his voice shows this man has class, good shit mate

You Aussies sure know how to do a muscle car right! If only these Falcons had been sold in the States. It's a dream of mine to have one but I feel it would be a sin to remove it from Oz.

Awesome Falcon man! I wish we had the XAs in the states. Badass car, thats all.

My father had an XA. I grew up in it. I just love the lines. I could never afford one now. They stop me in my tracks when I see one. Gorgeous car brother.

This blokes a legend.

Every true Ford lover needs to own a DeTomosa Pantera once in their life. Not only beautiful, it's a beast on short circuits and back roads!

Great video - keep them coming. Awesome car what a beast that GT is! Fantastic work & well done Tony.

All i can say is absolutely stunning good on him...... i loved all the GT hardtops

Absolutely fantastic video big fan of the XA & XB Felcon you have a fabulous collection sir

I cant believe i hadnt seen this before! Fantastic vid!!! Owner seems like a great guy!!! What a collection!!!

More videos like this please!

awesome car....... tho I'd love to see a story on his R/T Charger 😀

Very nice car brother even as a holden man I can appreciate all cars that are built well

The ROTHMAN CATHAY PACIFIC t'shirt brings back a lot of good memories😊👍

I love this guys attitude

"Chubsy" Staedtmillers old car, an icon around the Redcliffe area in its day, great to see what you've done with it Tony.

That's one beautiful ride bro ! Dam ! Great video !

amazing video and car, sort of reminds me of a beefed up Ford Capri, we get them back in Ireland. Trying to track one down as id love to rip into a build , you've an amazing collection great taste mate , keep up the good work.

WE NEED THOSE IN THE U.S

Not a massive ford guy, but I have to respect your builds, well done mate.

Hell yeah! What a fat XA & sounds tough as hell. When he said big block I immediately thought 460 took my by surprise when he said 534ci haha

This guy is my hero.

I owned a XA once and i thought that the XA was always better than the XY!

Top bloke top car 👍👍 I like him paining that nice clean driveway black 😂😂

BEAUTIFUL Muscle car !!!! AWESOME !!!

Ten out of ten. What an absolute big block weapon xa gt coupe. Perfection!! Tony sounds like a genuine Aussie good bloke. Love his xd description ”tuff lookin car, fat lookin car...ugly lookin car”🤣 I have always said this lol, as close to a shoebox on wheels possible but if slammed on simmons they’re just tuff af for some reason!!

A car I could never have, only dream.

Great video, great car, watching this with a bit of jealousy from Europe where these cars and roads just dont exist. 👍

Oh man I know I am getting old cause I went "Arrrrr fuck not the concrete"

XAlent. Will you be going to the Hardtop Anniversary in November at Mildura in November ?

Great video

Beautiful car

Beautiful car . Well done sir.👍

Crazy! Very nice

Sick...

so cool

firstly i though it was forza horizon 3 with ultra high resolution graphics

Nice XA well done....nice to have money...half your luck...cheers

thats mint

Looks Very Nice. Hard to go past an XAGT Coupe, my favourite Aussie Muscle Car. I agree with others about the wheels, too big diameter wise for me. Must be the lighting but it doesn't look Track Red to me, the XY colour, Red Pepper from memory was the XA colour, looks more like that. The GT had the moulding along the top of the door and side window, just finishes it off a bit better, and what a pity it's an auto, a Muscle Car needs a manual. A 6 speed Tremec would do just nicely I think.

Deep pockets by the look of things

TONY I FUCKEN LOVE YOUR XA,BACK IN 1973 MY UNCLE PURCHASED A ORANGE XA I WAS 7 AND THE LOVE FOR MUSCLE CARS BEGAN MY FIRST CAR WAS A BLACK SS TORANA HATCHBACK WITH A 355 STROKER RAN QUARTERS IN 10.5 BACK IN 1985 UNTIL ME AND THE GIRL GOT IN TO A FIGHT AND SHE ENDED UP AT THE WRECKERS IN THE SKY I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED COUPES AND WOULD DEARLY LOVE A ORANGE XA GT ANY HOW YOU HAVE ONE OF THE NICEST XA I HAVE SEEN GOD BLESS

The XA-XC line were the best looking cars bar none imo.

Im still salty we never got a version of this car in the US.

SICK

Great car. With those significant mods/changes though, it's no longer a GT. I had a '72 lime-green sedan and it was always my favourite.

Still firmly believe the Ford's & Holden's of the late 60's & 70's are so much better looking, performing (except the brakes) meaner stance than today's cars. You had to actually drive the car, as opposed to getting in and having all the safety features of today.

Love how ya cocked over the entrance of the garage with a burny..fuckin oath brah..lol

Pity about the wheels

mint car

At the start that's at Wollongong

It really makes me sad that i never go to experience those days of motoring, back when most cars were works of art, and not sterile appliances like today.

So true Aussie Muscle car’s

Is that bridge in Cronulla?

looks like you own an amg as well!!!

top video, whats the song from 3:20

What does Tony do for a living?! I'm gonna quit and work for him

Is that a 1963 Chevy Impala at 0:57? Did General Motors build these cars in Australia, or were they imported from the US? Just curious.

Proper falcon gt muscle car..not a 4 door taxi 👍

That a a stunning Ford Falcon XA GT ..... all l can afford is a 1/32nd model of an XB GS hard top ...... atleast l can say l own it l guess 🙄 .... 😆

FUCKING WOOOOOW WHAT A SICKUNT AND WHAT A FUCKING CAR 👍👍

why do people like those wheels on classic cars just ruins the hole build

Wow

Got a Landau I need finished off

way to go sideways up the street yea agree with you there nice car

I wonder if Tony took his XA GT to Summernats?

"TORINO"!

In America the laws are made to save old classic cars in Australia the laws make it almost impossible to drive an older car, thats why you dont see any cars over 15 years old its worse in New Zealand,a great example is you can buy any car in the USA and drive it for 20 days plateless no matter what condition so you can get it fixed in Australia you have to go to licensing centre wait in line to pay a fortune to get a certificate that lets you drive it for 24hrs but even with that certificate a cop can pull you over and decide the cars too dangerous and red sticker it and you will need it towed, but that australias government,banned BB Guns Airsoft, paintball, nicotine, certain slingshots, flick knives butterfly knives, though they are cool with kid killing kinder surprises

What's wrong with the right hand headlight, it looks cross eyed.

How it must feel to have Chip Foose pick your car ...

where is that road at the start ?

Uau isso e que um carro

What's a 'big block Cleveland' ?

I still prefer an xb

When you said Australian muscle cars, do you actually mean American Muscle cars?

a genuine Hertz Mustang rental racer in Australia r u sure?????
