Prior to embarking on the build of the 1973-vintage supercharged tarmac terror, his workshop was home to a younger member of the Falcon lineage – a 480kW (643hp) Vortech-supercharged BA ute. You see, the blue oval influence over Nigel’s automotive life is enduring. One such Ford man is Nigel Andrews, owner and builder of the smooth and sublime example of an XA chassis Falcon hardtop coupe, shot here beneath the persistent glare of the autumn Southern Hemisphere sun in Auckland, New Zealand. You either became a Ford man, a GM-Holden family or a staunch advocate of the Mopar persuasion – a trend that continues in contemporary times both in V8 Supercar competition and at the somewhat less high-octane environment of the showrooms across Australia and New Zealand. One side effect of this intense rivalry was the way in which the public became divided in the showrooms. In one notable incident, Australia’s Wheels magazine published images of a journalist pulling over 140mph (225km/h) down the Hume Highway at the helm of an XY chassis Falcon GTHO Phase III, the predecessor to the XA model designation. With Aussie motor racing legends Harry Firth and Fred Gibson sharing the drive it took overall honours, and so began a retaliatory war among the local branches of the Big 3 for touring car superiority.Īgain a reflection of the American situation, the Australian ‘supercar scare’ eventually put paid to what were effectively factory homologation specials for local touring car competition. While in pursuit of Australia’s ‘Great Race’ at the Mount Panorama circuit for the 1967 running, Ford Australia unleashed the Falcon XR GT, a potent variant of the company’s staple family sedan packing a 289 cubic inch (4.7-litre) Windsor V8. Political pressure, clear-air mandates and fuel crises dictated this particular breed of car to become increasingly less relevant and feasible for manufacturers to economically produce.Įven though the muscle car craze is most commonly associated with the United States, across the globe in Australia, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler (the Big 3) were all embarking on a muscle car battle royale of their own. Sadly this initial era of the factory production muscle machine ground to a well publicised halt during the mid-1970s. Let's go!! Come out to Stone Ridge tomorrow and Sunday to cheer on your Falcons!! the term ‘muscle car’ is thrown around in general automotive-related discussion, immediately it evokes images of rising power outputs, increased cubic inches being crammed into compact chassis, and a wild spectrum of colours prevalent among a plethora of sport-focused saloons offered by most of the major American manufacturers throughout a period spanning the early-1960s through to the mid-1970s.
