I agree with this picture.

Although there are many types of awesome looking fords, its hard to narrow it down to 1

[GT0132]

There are 4 Fords that really grabbed me when they first came out

1. 1971-1977 shape Mk 3 Cortina (known as TC/TD in Australia) either in the English GT or E spec with the 2000cc 4 cyl Pinto engine

2. Any model 1972-79 XA-XC Falcon with V8 engine in either 4 door sedan or 2 door coupe

3. Any British Ford Capri manufactured between the late 60's and 1986 my preference being the 1978 Mk 3 S with the 3.0L V6 engine

4. The BA Falcons series in either XR or FPV spec with the GT being the pick of the bunch

Other notable mentions....MK3 or Mk4 Zephyr or Zodiac, Mk4 Cortina, EF and EL Falcons. Most other Fords I find pretty ordinary

[calais]

An XA 4 Door GT in Walnut Glow 4V 351 Toploader..... Thats the end all and be all for me personally.

Closely rounded out by a 1969 Boss 302 Mustang Toploader with Drag Pack in Bright Yellow.

[smoo]

XA GT coupe
AU T3
BF Super Pursuit T56
34 V8 Coupe
F250 PSD lwb 4x4

Or any Ford that reminds me of when I was a kid, EL/AU, low expecations lol.

I agree with your taste here, these would be at the very top of my list.
Closely followed by a lot more Fords.

[Ryan]

Don't tell anyone this, but I'm a sucker for Cortinas.

[Elks]

Top 5, in no particular order..

33, 3 window coupe. Hot Rod style, preferably big block.
63 Fairlane Thunderbolt 427 SOHC
Any 50's or 60's F100
AU T3 TS50 Black or Blueprint
XA/XB/XC Falcon Coupe (Landau, GT or Fairmont) Especially the specials Cobra, Goss etc.

The proof is in this pic.

Non-colour coded bumpers (sagging of course), three speed auto, no rear center brake light, chalky switchgear. What a classic!

[C Jones]

Force 6 or Force 8 for me

[302 XC]

TOP 5

1. XC Fairmont rally pack (has to be No 1 , cause ive got it)
2. XC COBRA
3. XY GT( or HO) ,wild violet colour
4. XE ESP
5. XA GT

Minister

1. 67 muzzy coupe
2. My XC

[Grippy]

Manual T3 TS50 or ED XR8 Sprint.

[NX74205]

1. BF/BFII XR and FPV.

2. AU T3.

3. EA Fairmont Ghia
Whatever one might think about the EA as a car, I think the EA was a fantastic looking car that looked ahead of its time when it was launched, especially the Fairmont Ghia, with those turbine blade alloy wheels.

3=. EBII Fairmont / EBII Falcon S XR6/XR8
The EB is one of my favourite Falcons to look at. The Fairmont inherited the EA Ghia's good looks with those fancy alloys. XR6 and XR8 look great in white with red bumper inserts, red 4.0i / 5-litre V8 badges, and a rear wing, but without the skirts.

5. FGII all models. Love the exterior, not so keen on the interior. I would've preferred a more European look to the FG interior, similar in design language to the new Fiesta/Focus.

5. NC Fairlane/LTD

6. AU Fairlane/LTD

7. EL Falcon/Fairmont. Not too keen on the EL XR's front end, nor the EL GT, for that matter.

[EF ECTIV]

So many choices (not in order):
XY GTHO
EL XR
XW GT
XA coupe GT
XB coupe GT
EL GT
ED Sprint
T3 TS50
32 Coupe
65 mustang fastback
XR GT
67 Mustang
XM coupe

sooooooooooooo many good models..... <3 ford

[benoxr]

XR GT (or any V8 XR )
BA/F GT
XC GS V8 sedan or panel van

[HEMI POWER]

1) Xc Cobra
2) Xe Esp
3) Ba Gt

[kevino]

Ford escort mark 1 BDA.

[billy302]

Mk 1 Cortina GT500. Just to be different.

[66GT]

some great cars listed/dreaming about here. My list includes (but not limited to)

1. Mk1 Lotus Cortina - will never afford one, so my Gt sedan will have to do. yes another Cortina fan
2. XC Cobra Bathust - will never afford one, so my XC EX highway patrol coupe will have to do.
3. Any early Shelby Mustang

[Falc'man]

In terms of looks, in my case it's what don't I like.

The best looking Falcon for me is the G6ET. I think it's one of the classiest cars on the road today.

The P3 and the 71 Capri are my favourites from yesteryear.

For performance, well, the latest GT500 with the blown 351 has that in the bag, and it's the meanest looking of the lot.

[SSD-85]

Top 5 US:

1: 63 Thunderbird Roadster
2: 68 Thunderbird 2dr Landau
3: 70 Galaxie XL Sportsroof

not really sure about mercury, but ford bought lincoln in 1922. on may 1st, 1940 lincoln became "the lincoln division of the ford motor company"

if you go to the lincoln website, at the foot of what seems every page there is "copyright" "the year" "ford motor company". there are many mentions of ford credit and other ford items
http://www.lincoln.com/
they are the luxury version of ford - to me they are a ford. unlike mazda, jaguar and others that ford owns/owned, they are a branch of ford - not just owned by them

the mercury website is the same - many references to ford
http://www.mercuryvehicles.com/

i may be totally wrong, but i would not expect so much reference to ford on their websites unless they were a branch of ford

[ozpacman]

XT GT in GT Gold for me!

[335POWER]

Eleanor baby.

[jixel 78]

ZA Fairlane 289.
XA Fairmont four door in white with black interior. God I want one.
67 Fairlane Fastback. With a 390FE. Bargain Muscle. Keep your XYs.

I fully acknowledge that the Mercury & Lincoln nameplates are a division/branch of the Ford Motor Company. I was just simply stating the vehicles that wear the "Ford" badge. I felt the need to create a whole new list for those other nameplates, as I like far too many FoMoCo vehicles to narrow it down to 5 across all 3 nameplates.
