That's a good ad, it makes a change from the unfunny clowns that try and sell stuff on ebay like that but can't pull it off.

Great add, loved the Q & A's at the bottom as well.

The car is actually an Falcon XPAk. If memory serves, 3,000 were built when the VB Commodore was release circa Aug/Sep 78.

That cars colour is actually Ford Candy Apple Red (not a real candy apple).

the XPak consisted of quad headlights, wheel arch trims, the twin gold stripes complete with matching stripe in the dog dish hubcaps, trim rings, flip top petrol cap and interior got cloth seats, unique to the XPak iirc.

My old man bought one new identical to this, except it was a 4.1, got looks back in its day

The whole dinosaur thing was great.

I also liked the fact that the car will help you pick up girs that can open jars.
