As you may have noticed by now, this video is rife with inaccuracies, MORE THAN HALF of the segments carry false information &/or footage...

Some serious errors in this video. The XU1 was an I6 not a V6. Worse, you posted up the '71 GTHO (probably the greatest Oz muscle car of all) and used video of a XB GT! It's a completely different car!

Back in the late 70's, I was a car groomer for a company who specialised in detailing cars for dealerships, and I had the pleasure of driving for approximately 30kms, a Brand New SS Torana Liftback, with the 5 liter V8 and auto box. From memory the odometer read 17 miles in total when I first got into it, and it may well have been the first one to arrive in New Zealand? It was Orange in color with the SS stripes, and, even though t was new, still had plenty of power, which, as I was young at the time, I explored as much as was possible on public roads. I had the oppertunity to drive a LOT of different cars in the years I was a groomer, but that Torana is one that has stuck in my memory.

This clip is so wrong. they did not show an A9X they did not show a GTHO Phase 3 the charger was a modified v8 NOT the muscle e38 or E49 models the Torana UU1 was an LJ not an LC the leyland force 7 why include that ? sadly a bit of research would of made the Aussie muscle car line up so much better so go google Ford Falcon GTHO Phase 3 then the LX torana A9X then the Torana LH L34 whayt about Monaro 350 the Falcon Xa rpo the list goes on n on

Where's the XR and XT Gt's and a proper segment on the fastest 4 door car in the world for its era- the Falcon GT Phase 3 GT?? What about a 327 Monaro? Hmmmm- your list is a bit dodgy.

A lot of the cars were mislabelled and were not to spec. The VL engine bay shot is not of an original VL SS Group A, the 1971 Falcon GT HO there is not a 71- and the list of mistakes goes on .....

I always liked the Aussie Valiant Chargers, cool and different with the inline 6s. Lots of power for an inline engine. Here in the US the engines were huge V8s.

Where was a genuine charger R/T. E49 ?

The idea of a 4-door muscle car was never considered cool until the Aussies made it cool!

Terrible information, inaccurate list, good quality but introduce a fact checker not the first page of Wikipedia

Car News TV, the first 1971 Falcon GTHO is the XY, by the first one you showed was an xb

Correction, the six cylinder Holden Torana,s were straight six not a V6. The chargers that raced at bathurst were hot 6,s triple side draft carbs. Most of the Chargers were 6,s more than V8,s.

Ford Falcon Cobra is a dream car. Also love the Chrysler Valiant Charger and Holden Monaro. Right up there with gen 2 Pontiac Firebird and Tri Five Chevy.

Great list!

A Leyland on this countdown! When did Leyland make cars? I live in Ireland and I'm only familiar with Leyland trucks and buses.

Near the start the 2 cobra coupe's are pulling out onto Pukekohe racetrack in New Zealand.

All the car except the Force 7 was made as Homologation models for racing at Bathurst. Just testament on how racing improve the breeds.

That was an XY at the end of the XB shots.

Do the fluids in the engine flow counterclockwise like the water in the sinks and toilets because they are below the equator?

The Holden Toranos look like 70s Opels from the side which are also from GM up until 2017.

Other than your bizarre love for 4 doors....you Aussies have some awesome cars!

What an absolute fail of a video. I won't type an essay into why but nearly everything in this video is false in some way or another. Whoever researched this should be fired!

Missed a few really good models from over here like HT and HG GTS Monaros (Chevy engined), or the rare VC S3 inline 6 turbo other than that not too bad.

Probably already picked-up on by someone but... the GTR Torana's came with a straight / inline six cylinder, not a V6

Ahhh .. the good 'ol Aussie muscle!

Gorgeous phase 4

What happened to the XA GT,XW GT,XY GT something wrong here

The Ho,den Torano looks very like the European Opel Chevette from the 70s.

The Valiant Chargers and the Falcons are the cream of the crop IMO.

just another comment asking, if car news tv knows their stuff, where is the xy gtho? fastest factory 4 door in the world of the time

You have a bit of the info wrong there.

I've never seen a v6 in an xu1 Torana 2 a a9x Torana was a hatchback as far as I was aware

The Gtho Xy had nearly 380 horsepower when put on the dyno ford officially claimed only 320 it is the the greatest!

That ‘71 Falcon. 🤤

In the first original Mad Max, Holdens, Jensens, and Falcons were used quite a bit. Max's famous black interceptor he used to run down the "Toecutter" was a '74 Falcon if I'm not mistaken.

im amazed these cars enough made it till now, most of them where so full of rust back in the 80s!

She's the last of the V8s! It's the ducks guts Max.

Wow that is the super rare v6 xu1 ........

What's up with all the four-door rides?

Ford is American but I think that falcon was built in Australia if I am correct.

might find the original E38 R/T charger only came with 265 & 3xwebbers

I want more skids if we're doing Aussie cars

great vid but almost every car was either described wrong or the clips chosen were of highly modified versions of the cars and not true depictions of the cars at all, most the descriptions were wrong or details were incorrect, all said and done tho great vid and awesome cars, perhaps you could do another with a bit more research and standard versions as well as modified versions of the Best Muscle cars in the world from Australia, maybe do the top models,, Gt Ho, X-ABC, Cobra, Escort, Caprice, Gtr Xu1, A9x, Slr5000, Commodore-vc-vz, Valiant Charger, perhaps some Bathurst history etc.

What about the A9X or HT Monaro?

That last comment from me should read Holden Torano. Had a mistype.

Interesting array of cars. Sad day when the Aussie made GTO of '05 or so somehow didn't meet USA tank standards. Worse was the economic collapse that made Pontiac expendable.

Both the Ford Falcons looked the best.

How about Mercury Comet in the 1970s? Same thing with a Ford Maverick.

The Leyland force 7 was from 1973 not 1976, Leyland Australia folded in 1974. Also that isn't 1971 Ford Falcon GTHO, It's XB Falcon GT from 1973-1976. That Torana is not a A9X, But just a modified 1974-1978 LH or LX Torana

The A9X in this Video is probably an L34..... or an SLR5000 as they did'nt make alot of the L34 versions The L34 was an earlier Model and a 4 Door. The A9X was a 2 Door coupe , well that's what they raced mostly as the 2 door body shape replaced the 4 door. The A9X ,2 door was the same body as the Sunbird that had a 4 cylinder opel engine. Had lots of fun calling Brett Turner's ( my mate ) A9X a sunbird ...Pissed him off big time ....lol The GTR XU1 was a straight red motor 186 ???? But had Triple Webbers and other racy stuff from memory.They Hammered and my other mate rolled his 8 times near the Coolbellup hotel. Then got just a GTR next which also flew too. Just touch your foot on the go peddle and you where spinning in 360's...alot of fun...lol Hey Thanks for the Video, i was not being critical . Yes some of the models not Exactly match up .I get it as it is not easy getting the video's of the Exact car that you were talking about. But Great effort and i Enjoyed the Video Thanks Mate brings back many good memories .

Any good-looking musclecars from down under?

Need a bit more research on Aussie car specs mate

The XU1 had a Straight 6 Engine, NOT a V6, and niether the Leyland P76 Force & nor the Phase 4 GTHO were sold to the public? The Performance Model Valiant Chargers were either the E38 or E49, both of which were powered by modified 265 Cubic Inch Six Cylinder Motors, NOT a 340 Cubic Inch V8 as represented here? The Torana shown here I don't believe is a genuine A9X either? which leads me to wonder if the person who compiled this list knew what he was talking about

Modified so that Toyota Camrys don’t leave them looking impotent

The GT-R XU1 has a 202ci Inline 6 not a V6.

How rare is that Leyland Force 7?. My dad had a (shudder) P76 and I have never heard of the Force 7. Also you showed 2 Torana's, but why no HG GTS Monaro's or Phase III GTHO's?, they are probably the most famous and valuable of all the Aussie muscle cars (a GTHO went for 1.5 million a few weeks ago)

The xbgt isn't a gt ho its only the xagt phase 4 and xy,xw falcon gt.

The mad max car

The only Australian originally named company on this list is Holden and layland can make true Australian cars sadly that was taken away.

That 4 door Torrie ain't no A9X. A9X's are hatchback only.

This vid is all over the place 🤪 Why showing a mocked xbgt falcon and saying it’s a gtho??

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you got a heap of stuff wrong. GT HO Phase 3 was the fastest 4 door production car until the 90's with a 351 V8. The Charger E49 was the fastest accelerating production car with 1/4 mile time in low 13's and held that record for many years and did it with a 265 ci straight six putting out 302 BHP, well over the 1hp per CI that was the standard at the time. Way more than a Brock VL Condomodore of some 20ish years later. GM/Holden had to shoehorn a 6 cyl red motor into what was a pommy 4 cyl Vaxhaul to compete. The Charger you showed was nothing like an R/T, the A/C Cobra was not a GT HO Ph3, the Torana XU1 was close but you didn't mention the A9X. Perhaps you need to get you crystals aligned, you can do that with a Brock polariser from those silly VL's. Show some respect for aussie muscle dude. Google is your friend. Look up the XA GT phase 4, the E55 Charger, and whatever overpowered under engineered plans GM had at the time. And ask around with some old timers. Your making good utoobs but you might not look so silly with some facts on your side

Where's the monaro

More like wrong car news tv

This was a joke, yes?

The valiant charger is what mad max had I think

the one that said GT HO that was an XB GT 351 ford never made a XB GT HO only a XW,XY and XA GT HO so which one are you referring to

Leyland Aus did a muscle car! No way. Leyland UK only did trucks. I'm watching this in Ireland.

I always thought the Cobra was a poor cousin to the GT HO Falcons. Ford was desperately trying to keep the supercar dream alive.

You forgot the 1972 Holden Monaro hq gts

This dude doesn’t really know what his talking about when it comes to Australian cars

Classic muscle from Australia has its own style. I loved every single one.

You have made several mistakes in this video.. The xu1 Toranas didn’t have v6 motors, and the 1972 Ford GT was not a GTHO.

The 71 Ford and the Chrysler are kinda rubbing off on me.

The falcon cobra also came out with a 302 hance the 4.9 badges. The torana came out with a straight six not a v6. Edit also had 119 HP not 190. 2nd edit WHERE THE FUCK IS THE XY FROM THE THUMBNAIL ?!?

How did you come to the conclusion a Torana has a V6 in it when they have a straight 6 !!

3:11 the spec that you are showing is for Charger 770 which is sort of the personal luxury car type rather than muscle car. The Valiant Charger that they used for racing is the R/T model that features 265cu (4.3 L) V8. The reasom for smaller engine was that the heavier engine makes the car front heavy and requires early braking than the smaller V8. So compromised were made.

So you put two Toranas in the video from which one of them is a 6 cyl and you left out the Monaros. Great. Maybe it needed more cars and should not be named hottest muscle cars just hottest Australian cars

I am depressed at the realisation that Australian muscle has much more muscle than American muscle.

No Holden commodores?

GTR XU-1 had a straight six not a V6

i dont wanna be that guy but were the bloody hell is the ford falcon phase 3 gtho? only the best australian muscle car ever produced

Nice try but a lot of the information was wrong

Hey Car News TV. Don't post stuff without getting your facts straight. Too many glaring errors here.

2:51 Actually the Leyland Force 7 wasn't officially sold to general public. 60ish prototype were made and due to collapse of Leyland P76 sales (the saloon that Force 7 was based on). Leyland Australia cancel the model and 8 cars were sold to public by means of factory auction. 1 car is kept by Leyland Australia for prosterity and the rest was scrapped. Reportedly to increase the value of the remaining 8 cars. Which is shame because P76 is a briliiant cars and even won 1971 Wheels Car of the Year awards.

Where's the Holden Camira? 🙂

Very inaccurate labeling of models, the green so called Ford gt 351 HO was actually an XA model GT 351 not a HO. the white GT shown in the drive by was an XY model GT 351 HO

Well done car News TV, an exceptional job on getting at least one or two correct lol. Subscribe here ...... are you serious? Why exactly would anyone subscribe to this channel when you have made it so emphatically clear that you would struggle to tell the difference from the front of a car from the damn rear!

WHO made this video they have no clue! great model cars just shithouse specimens!

Not very accurate

the cars should be upside down XD

👍🏿👍🏿

I would have thought they would have more H.P and Torque all I've ever owned is American Muscle I've never considered a 4 door car as a muscle car the best looking IMO is the 2 door Ford some of those car's are definitely not "Stock"

These are legitimate muscle cars coming from a yank. The Aussies definitely had the real thing. The other cars that people claim are muscle cars are really sportscars.

The Muppet show

That falcon looks like a ford Capri on steroids! Always amazes me how America and it seems Australia can make an engine like a 5.8L V8 and it only makes something like 240bhp lol? In England we make engines that could fit on a dinner plate that produce more than that! And our European V8’s are more like 4L and more like 500-600bhp! It’s almost impressive in its own right to make something so meaty produce such little horsepower

Who put this together , a 10 year old ????

Why so many 4 door hot rods

2:05 Ahh yeah the Plastic Pig. This car is an homologation special for Group A Holden so they can participate in Bathurst. This car is actually continuation of last year Group A SS which is made by Holden Dealer Team (HDT) that is led by controversial Peter Brock. The story goes that Peter Brock use "crystal" to "bend molecules" that makes the car "stick to the road" and this pseudo science device proves to be too much for Holden and they cut off relationship with HDT as their factory racing team. Instead they turn to rising Tom Walkinshaw and formed Holden Special Vehicles or HSV and this is their first car. It has more extreme bodywork to increase downforce and the engine was updated to be more reliable and the car won races throughout 1988... that is in few years Godzilla will decimate Australian touring cars championship.

No hq Monaro either smh
