- 1973 Q Code Fastback
The Aussies on here will get this one but just thought I would share our newest addition. The car is a 1978 XC Falcon Cobra coupe.
Ford produced these as a runout to use up 400 bodies they felt would be excess when the new model was released in 1979, an initiative put forward by Edsell, MD Ford Australia at that point in time. 200 were built with Cleveland 351's and 200 with 302's with varying specs.
It's estimated that only 200-250 of the 400 originally produced still remain, so I am pretty excited to have one sitting in my shed.
A little work to do to tidy the car up but in general it's a pretty good matching numbers example with 351, FMX tranny and 9" dif.
