This Ford was the third Falcon that we have owned (No 9 XP) and (No 19 XA model). Not the actual car above but it looked identical.

Falcons have always been a pretty reasonable car, this one was no exception, quite large, comfortable to travel in and quite powerful with its 4.1 litre 6 cylinder motor. It wasnt that bad on fuel usage either. This car was a natural at towing our small caravan and I think it would have handled a much larger one with ease.

Falcon's, like most Australian cars of that era were easy and reasonably cheap to maintain, as usual I did all my own repairs and maintenance and parts for these cars could be purchased almost anywhere.

Ours was an XL variation, bottom of the range and as such it lacked some creature comforts such as electric windows and better sound systems but it was a good car and I always enjoyed driving it....eventually the time came however, the odometer was touching 200k km and I didn't want to have big repair bills...I missed this car for some time.
