Default Ford anniversary

Hi I was just wondering if the Ford Falcon had an anniversary on the 21st year of production? As I was born on the same day and am a ford man through and through

That would have placed it into 1981 (XD series). I'm not aware of anything special that happened that year. The next anniversary was probably the 25th Anniversary two-tone XF Falcon that came with LTD wheels.

And it's the same year Dick Johnson won the ATCC and Bathurst in his blue XD Falcon

Not to my recollection, I too share the same birthday as Falcon, but 9 years later..
The earliest anniversary edition was the XF 25th in 1985, as Dauphin mentioned.
