What a great looking car the XC Cobra was/is.

As a Allan Moffitt fan I was always amazed at the self dedication and effort he put into his driving, a absolute professional and a pleasure to watch.

There will never be cars as beautiful as these racing at Bathurst again

The sound of those 351's!!

Absolutely amazing, when you think how heavy this car was in racing trim . The all mighty 351 CLEVELAND powered Australian Falcon.

Great cars, great sound and back when the Mountain was a real race not a procession.

Those XA to XC coupes were the most beautiful cars ever made.

Beautiful looking Cars , those Ford Falcon XC Hardtops were . Really Handsome . 351 Cleveland power . One of Fords BEST engines , ever .

As a sixty year old Aussie, the best looking race cars of the era in my opinion were the XA,B & C hardtops and the Torana Hatchbacks, not forgetting the Chargers and LC/LJ XU1's Proper racing cars with 2 doors.

Just awesome, love those fords

Those were the days. Can't stomach Bathurst with the modern shit.

Awesome, thanks for the upload.

Big v8 flat out down the old conrod straight. Awesome.

Father of ford racing in Australia. My favourite Ford's of all time.

Amazing cars

Allan was visibly emotional as the interview went on there.

Without question, one of the very best racing car drivers to ever live.

That’s real driving skill. Those cars were not easy to drive like today’s machines.

How good were those Aussie pioneers of motor racing TV broadcasts back in the day? The mountain looks great, the Cobra looks and SOUNDS great. They set the world standard for modern TV motor sports.

Not bad for a guy from Canada 🇨🇦 Allan Moffat

Allan wasn't half bad for a Canadian, best driver ever,fullstop.

Anyone who doesn’t believe motor sports isn’t physically demanding; listen to Alan struggling to get his breathe back to answer a couple of questions 😀

back in the days, of real racing, real cars, race on sunday, and sell on monday

I feel sorry for Mr Moffatt in the interview after his lap, he was under so much pressure to get a Falcon to win the race that year He did as the factory wanted, and won the race, only to receive $1300 gift bonus for all his troubles, according to his book The man is a legend, and went through hell. Colin Bond had none of those issues to worry about, and was smart enough to let the boss win at the end of the final lap. Good boy Bondy!

Loved the sound off the Cobra falcon Alan Moffit rearly gave it some dr tick a great driver back then it was a real race and the spectators love for holden or ford really stood out now that holden and falcon are not beeing built here it has changed the vc soal off the race but it's still a great race a world class track makes the american cer raceing circuss look like a beginners program just going around in circles yea I know there is more to it but Bathhurst has to be the no 1 saloon car race track and event in the world it draws you in as you watch it

2min20 was a crazy fast time.

Days when there were no security guards.

1:42 David White brought me here. Moff for sure got the front wheels airborne like the 41st.

Very cool............. 👍🏁🏁🏁

He must be really giving it to it if he's got the stick all the way down to the floor!

Evan Green and Mike Raymond at their usual subdued best calling the laps

Would liked to have seen a cl charger with a 318 4bbl warmed up may not have Been a winner but would have been great to see✌✌

I received a large compensation package and spent wisely I purchased an XC GS PANEL VAN it was installed with large twin tanks. Removed the Cleveland 351, took it out a mild 60,000 added 800 holly was going with a crossflow delorto carb set up but to pricy and was easy with holly so holly was in reconditioned the top loader and 9 " lowered slightly with heavy springs shocks to set it off nice roll bars 4 wheel discs Over size 12" rear 9" front tyres back in the early 90s my panel van held on to the road. And blew away all commers

here the bellow of that beefy exhaust note down conrod.

cool

Bond was way quicker than Moffat during the Bathurst 500 that year. The fact is: that leading up to that great moment where the two big Fords crossed the line, first & second. Bond was told to slow down at the races end to let Moffat, the team principle, take the lead and win. Car 1, and car 2 -- first & second

Looks like shock absorbers were banned back then.......

I reckon Moff was just a little shook up, look at 1.42 the front wheels leave the deck over the hump on conrod at probably around 170mph

Great to see the track without "the chase" at the end of Conrod.

Given how utterly useless these things were. Moffat and Bonds efforts in the boat anchors were impressive!

Dam fine effort considering how long ago it was. He defines a shit hot driver despite lacking in the competition of personalities compared to.brocky and dicko.

after all these years watching the moffat lap ,bond beat him ! lol

There will only ever be ONE KING ,, RIP Brock

It will go faster with billstiens

And stop with 6 pot rotors,.. on the front and rear,....brembo comes to mind

Sounding good but it was all noise and no go for the big race. How many Falcons finished ?? The A9X destroyed them and did it again in 1979 ... The big Falcons were finished.

🤦🏼‍♂️ As usual, Mike Raymond's commentary was clumsy, mangled and clichéd... 🙉 Big supporter of racing. Bad commentator of it. 😒

TOTALLY outclassed by the mighty A9X Toranas. By 78 the XC was a dinosaur floating up and down in the front end wallowing around and running out of brakes. Suspension design dating back to the 50s ford flogging a dead horse for years just like Moffat who blindly and arrogantly followed along being rewarded with being dumped by ford management. All stripes no substance all noise no action thrashed at sandown then thrashed at Bathurst by 6 laps a true ford bogan special.
