The Ford Falcon is a full-size car which has been manufactured by Ford Australia since 1960. Each model from the XA series of 1972 onward has been designed, developed and built in Australia, following the phasing out of the American Falcon of 1960-71 which had been re-engineered locally for the harsher Australian conditions. As a result of the longevity of its Australian production, the Falcon is one of the biggest selling names in world automotive history, selling over 3,000,000 in six generations to 2003, almost exclusively in Australia and New Zealand. As of July 2007, Ford sells upwards of 3,000 units per month. Ford has manufactured over three million units since 1960, and has topped the sales charts in Australia on many occasions. Currently the Falcon line-up is offered in sedan, station wagon, and utility body styles, however in the past panel vans and hardtops (coupes) were offered. Australian made Ford Falcons and Holden Commodores dominate the ranks of taxis in Australia and New Zealand, and are also used as police patrol cars. Luxury variants of the current model Falcon, collectively known as the G Series, are marketed as the Ford G6, G6E and G6E Turbo. Other Falcon based models developed by Ford Australia, but no longer in production, are the Ford Futura, Ford Fairmont and Ford Landau, as well as the long wheelbase Ford Fairlane and Ford LTD.

Asked by darrylhoffmann - Wed Jun 14 06:09:10 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. According to Red Book, a new XK Falcon sold for $2636 in Sep 1960, its first year of manufacture. XKs were built until August 1962 when the XL was released, so it's fair to say an XK bought in 1961 would have been sold for about the same figure... Answered by *The Anything Girl* - Mon Jun 19 21:41:55 2006 Comparing Car Safety, 1960's-2009? Q. I was having this discussion with my dad and he doesn't understand why cars aren't built out of steele like they used to. He doesn't trust any of the modern cars even those that are 5 star safety ratings. Can anyone give me a comparison between a mid-range sedan about of the 1960s and a mid-range sedan of 2007-2009. We are in Australia and I used the example of a Ford Falcon GT-HO phase 3 (1971-'72) and the modern comparison of a Ford Falcon FG (5 star safety rating in Australia, 2008 model). If you don't live in Australia then feel free to use another example. He said that the box shape of the old cars would be more safe than the modern shape, and that despite the new safety features compared to the safety features of these older cars… [cont.] Asked by Angel H - Thu Jul 30 23:59:43 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. There is much more plastic and aluminum used to lighten the weight but body, frame, suspension and other structural components are still usually steel. Old cars were made much heavier for passenger protection. New technology has resulted in allowing the front ends to progressively collapse, while reinforcing the passenger compartments to maximize protection of the occupants. This reduces the g-force of deceleration experienced by occupants in a crash, reducing injury. Cars of today handle roads much better than cars of yesteryear, especially in inclement conditions (ice and rain). I live in Alaska and I'd hate the thought of driving the '60's vintage cars that I learned on, up here. New seat belt designs with deceleration sensors and… [cont.] Answered by unknown - Fri Jul 31 00:32:40 2009 Does this bill seem reasonable? or do you think the mechanic is doubling up/over charging?
Q. I recently took my car in for a service and rego check (in NSW Australia). The car was running fine before I went in. It is an Automatic 1996 Ford Falcon EF with a gas conversion. This is the itemised bill + charges: Pink Slip: $45.20 Service Enginge: $299.00 Coolant Flush and Refill: $120.00 New Rear brake cable and adjust handbrake: $195 New Enginge Drive Belt: $136.95 New Positive Battery Terminal: $48.00 Degrease Underside of Engine: $65.00 Supply Engine Treatment and Stop Leaks: $55.00 Supply and Fit New Rear Muffler: $298.00 GST: $126.22 Total: $1388.37 Since I have had the car back it feels heavier, makes horrible sounds when I accelerate, doesn't like to accelerate fast and stalled whilst driving up a hill. I have taken it back… [cont.] Asked by CrabApple - Tue Aug 25 01:00:14 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. Don't know about the pink slip, or is it for annual roadworthy? (Don't have them in Vic.) Engine service sounds expensive unless they changed the plugs. Coolant flush and refill seems a bit high. Engine drive belt?. I thought those things had chains, they don't need replacing unless broken. Battery terminal is a con, unless he means a new lead, then it should only be $20. Engine treatment and stop leaks are about $10 each. Muffler, a bit high but maybe with labour ok.
