So many things to love about that car, from the pin striping to the matching seat fabric. But unfortunately it had that big problem that all coupes suffered from...rust. So it has to be my FGX. The little car that can...the $50k bargain of the century that can go out and play hard with GT-F's and not come home with a bloody nose. I love that car for it's performance alone. Loved my boat too...the ZH fairlane. Don't know why really, but it holds a special place in my heart.

BAII RTV - with Raptor V S/C. RTV Power FG G6ET 50th Anniversary in Sensation. While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |

I must be at the age now when I can appreciate pretty much every model in some way.
I was going to say with the exception of the EA, but the SVO and those AIT turbo's are pretty cool. Poor old XF is probably the only one I have never really felt anything for. XA would be my favourite old school but id own one of each if I could. Im waiting for some of the older T Series members to harp on that a T is not a Falcon..hehe

Oh and then if I had to choose one, the Bill Bourke Special (although having a manual in that would be insane).

My love of Falcons started with the EA, in particular the EA Ghia I thought was one of the best looking four door sedans of its time. While the EL Ghia for me is the ultimate, any clean, unmolested E-series will most likely have me rubber-necking

My top 3 of the ones I've owned:
1. 2016 FG-X Falcon XR8 Sprint - Silhouette - phenomenal car in so many ways - nostalgic purchase and my daily driver. 2. 2001 AU II Falcon SR - Red - comfortable & reliable - I'm a fan of the interior & exterior styling of the AU. 3. 1985 XF Fairmont Ghia - my first Ford - loved the digital speedo, all the buttons on the dash and those oh so soft velvet feel seats.

You should have incl FPV's - do Mustang owners ever say its a Ford. Whats your Fav Falcon ? bit like what era are you from for some/most.... Young uns wouldn't have any connection to xseries or even eseries in most case's. Some only can start from bseries. Its all over shop. XA/B coupes for me incl sedans. XC Fairmont GXL 5.8l. XE ESP 5.8l EBGT. T3's ofcourse. F6310. FPV RSpec. Sprint8.
