There goes 23 seconds of my life I'll never get back.

The amount of air this AU got, it really earned the name Falcon 🤣

In-line 6 great engine sad to see it no longer in production in Australia.

You know what, I reckon the final stop wasn't even a catastrophic failure, it probably just got too hot. I wouldn't be surprised if you could let it cool down, put a new sump and oil in it, and the thing would just start up like nothing had happened. I was shaking my head for the last half of the video as the AU just refused to stop.

I've owned 3 Fa;cons in my life an EA Wagon, an EL Sedan and now an AU Sedan, the EA was off roaded and once driven from Melbourne to Tamworth with no oil because the rocker gasket failed and i didnt have any money to replace the gasket or top up the oil because i lost it all at the casino (lol) but i still needed to get home so i pointed it north and sent it and it made it with no issues!, the EL i had it for 10 years and was driven extremely hard without any cooling fans (for 10 years!) no issues and now my AU went for 3 years without any kind of a service because i was just in such bad financial shape but it never complained once and racked up some big k's

I am blown away that it starts better than my AU, even with the blown up sump

I have owned second hand Falcon AUs, Falcon AU2s, and still have a couple of BAs and Territories. Falcons were the sort of car where all the plastic bits fell off, but kept going. Very reliable, bullet proof, and cheap second hand.

“One owner well maintained, driven to church on Sunday’s, highway ks”

mate... that's bloody gold content right there. brings back memorys of all the cars I destroyed back in my youth

Now that was a strong little motor in that ford. That was frigging awesome to watch guy's. That jump was sick.

Hahaha!! These fords are indestructible. My mates got a 2006 BF wagon and he blew 2nd and 3rd gear in the auto about 3 years ago, he drove it from Melbourne to Sydney and back for new years eve 2 years ago he continues to drive it as a work vehicle to this day and still going strong. Great video by the way.

if only those Duke boys had an AU instead of the dodge charger

HELL YEAH BROTHER, THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO CALL QUALITY CONTENT 👌

Gotta Support a new Channel, looks like you boys put a lot of work into this! And looks like a lot of fun keep it up

Is this still available?? 😎🇦🇺

Haha. Thanks for this. "I'll prove there is still no sump" - also proving there was at least a bucket of dirt in the engine. Can't believe it was still running eh. Have fun fellas. Subscribed. Cheers.

With your videos, the best 2hrs on KZfaq!!!

I've had AU falcon wagons for the last decade. Apart from annoying oil leaks and electrical issues these cars drive beautiful and super comfortable. Nice console and door trims. Economy is decent if driven sensible. I get 9L/100KM combined running and better on highway. Driven lots of other cars but nothing beats AU falcon dollar for dollar.

It won't be long until WD gets his hands on an AU to really test out! 🤣👍

The legendary AU lol and that's coming from a Holden guy haha

Drove $300 au Ute with 400000kfrom Newcastle to sharkbay via the nullabore and perth did 400k to a tank of power steering fluid?s no problem .have ba ute now.

bet it would've started back up again after a min or so to cool down, or at least a big kick on the side to get it unseized if it locked up lol

If neutral drop got there hands on a good au it would be there longest video yet

Haha well done! Subscribed 👍 Your AU runs better without a sump than the registered XH on my channel.

brilliant video mate. Good to see the AU doing what it does best, getting flogged into the ground, LITERALLY.

My dad used to import these cars in my country from Australia, he used to own a Ford fairlane in the mid 90s I think,since I heard this I now want one lol

fuck me dead, the abuse it still took even after the sump was non existent and the motor had no oil is amazing. up the might falcons mate! awesome video, subscribed!

Unreal video mate very entertaining. That jump was insane

awesome vid, remember when i bought an AU falcon 15 years ago travelling OZ for $500 , couldn't kill it... roos smashing the front end /radiator in The NT doing 180kph on the speed limiter (open speed limit back then) finally brang it down

your stuff is genuinely entertaining keep it up 👍

Well, I've owned 1 1998 el sedan, 2 au's 1 was a 1998 Fairmont giha sedan and the other was a 2001 marlin ute. I've also owned a 2004 bf 1 tone ute and a bf 2006 xr6 turbo ute and now I owne a fg xr6 na unfortunately but the au was most definitely the most durable and reliable by far because I put them through hell and that's being polite and the fg is the wife's car so she doesn't get beat on all the time which is nice. But yeah go the mighty ford 💪 they will never let you down well they never let me down 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This can’t be real. My new all time favourite car channel

Bloody hilarious work gentleman...bloody hilarious 😂

Loved the video and the Neutral Drop shout out. I don't think any taxi drivers would be surprised though🤣

I've been slowly doing my Fairmont Ghia up, 2002 Series 3. just did my front brake calipers and a few other minor things over my ownership replaced the exhaust pipe. other than that super reliable still have the boot lid to get replaced but yeh bloody good cars and always have the grunt when you need it.

You just totalled probably the most reliable Falcon ever made. I had an AU ute and she was the best Falcon I have ever had, even better than my BA which although a lot more powerful drinks fuel like mad by comparison. I expected her to put a leg out of bed running it without oil but it didn't.😂

The mighty falcon 🙌 put a few through their paces in my time but never a full send like that mate 🤝

well done champ amazing vid.

That air was crazy!!!

I have a new respect for your jumping skills

I think you have just invented the extended family outback bus addon, Incredible!

Yet another great use for a AU.

If you put a sump back in that, straighten the oil pickup .....You could have sold that to a Melbourne Taxi Company.......

love it. hard too get a coon that hasn't shredded a set these days 👌

Thoroughly enjoyed that! 😂

I have owned 2 falcons an xf sedan I drove for a few years great car rust got too much but running gear is perfect now I have an eb sedan been driving since 2007 it's got 400,000 on it and still runs like new never had a problem with it and I've drivin it pretty hard a lot but now I'm older I look after it and my old man brought an xf wagon in 1986 serviced it until about 1989 and couldn't be stuffed servicing it after that he drove it like the maniac that he is started every single time no problem until he got rid of it in 2002 with over 800,000kms on it that thing was the meaning of indestructible wish we kept it

best reliability test i’ve ever seen way better than whistlin diesel

amazing video and very very impressive

Good to see the Queensland torque wrench being deployed on those wheel nuts.

F.O.R.D. Found On Rubbish Dumps / Fix Or Repair Daily is how I remember them. You guys are having too much fun

I was hyped seeing that jump then I heard ken's voice man what a dog of a world. You're hectic

HaHaHa that's so awesome. Love the video. Just found your channel. Aussies always do it better. Biggest problem with the AU is the body's they rust bad. Mate I would love to destroy a few shit boxes with you boys. Keep up the great work.

I’ve jumped a couple cars in my time but that air was massive mate!

this video is legendary

That jump at 7:40 is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while 😂

HAHA love it when i saw ( What i think ) IS/.was a Torana on top on it

That jump was epic!!

The xf were bullet proof too Had an ex taxi that had been round the clock, couldn't kill it

He’s really surprised by a lack of structural damage ( apart from the sump ) but I’m not , I hit a dead wombat at 45klm on the right front , I turned the car in circles to check for damage & thought to myself I better get the front end checked but never did as it still drove straight . Then a year later I ran over a concrete gutter at nearly 60klm whilst towing a trailer , it was a wild ride , but nothing broke ( I discovered the ford one tonne rated wheels are SasF ) . I did eventually get the control arm bushes & ball joints all replaced at 450000kkm as it had a knock when going over bumpy roads every so often , funny thing is the d/head spanner twirlers broke the air con pressure switch off & that altered the base idle in the computer ( idling too fast ) & the front end knock is still there every so often ! , must be the struts , I’m just about to get ford to reset the base idle in the computer , I couldn’t break the car but some mechanics can do it very easily !

It's a wonder that jump did not deploy the airbags,they are a strong car that's for sure,made Ozzie conditions...

If nobody believed you even without showing the sump they clearly don't know anything about Australia's greatest car

My AU XR6 VCT has a nice life. Parked in the garage. Gets started every week warms up and then she goes to bed again. Take her for a drive on Sundays to buy ice cream with the family. She will go to my duaghter one day. She is not going anywhere.

drove my AU home from work on a stinking hot day with no harmonic balancer or belt, no water, no power steering, still started and ran perfect

drifting with the car on top i lost my shit hahahahhahahahahaha!!!!!!

Geez the AU flew quite well !

Remind me to keep my AU very very far away from you guys lmao

That jump was life changing

At the same time that Falcon was being manufactured, in Argentina we still had the original 60's Falcon body with different headlights and bumpers as the "current" Falcon, damn

Look at that Falcon fly!

Ford always made a super tough straight 6. Here in the US the 300 six is virtually indestructible and are very sought after.

I will pay you points on the ramp That was some decent air time 🤣

I don't know whether to laugh or cry

RIP to my ears when that intro music kicked in

Whistling diesel mixed with a bit of hoonigan with a sprinkle of all Aussie adventures

We did these sort of things at parties and my brother's work end of year parties.

Now that really is a good robust car!

Yamaha Jog and AU Falcon. Doesn't get any better than that. OK maybe a Postie bike.

bloody awesome

Every falcon I owned fell to bits

You didn't kill that AU, you just converted it to NT spec. 🤣

“One lady owned, always serviced.”

so sad the au will never explode in popularity in the us

Having a Torry on the au made the au way better 🤣

Think you just taught Whistlin Diesel what a real jump is, in a mighty AU, Straya.

Those engines are fucking amazing.

Are you parting this au out? I'll give you 100 bitcoin for those ball joints.

I love my EL, It's a Falcon great car!

Seems about right for the AU

I've done these sort of jumps in a farm paddock in a old primera bent the whole car into a banana shape drove it round on the limter untill it pooped a piston out the block and also have had a terrible back since haha 😂

Some bloody good Dukes Of Hazzard stuff going on here, Cool stuff, Cheers Ya'll

AU Falcon, designed for the suburban jungle of school runs and shopping centres. It's gotta be tough!!!!

Have been around a few AU's in my life, some relatives had some (like a Futura, a Fairmont i think & a cousin of mine had a red Series I or II XR8 ute, went for a run in that once & it got up & went let me tell you. And myself, wouldn't mind going for an AU LTD of some sort as well. Are a decent few AU's in the town where i live, so they sure are getting around just fine still. And yeah, some people got triggered at this old beast of a falcon get put through the ringer, but it was cooked anyway (not roadworthy, not worth the money getting it on the road again) & gave it a good final send off, and had some great fun with it. SOme people need to see that all because a car looks decent enough, does not mean it is worth getting on the road again, or might not be safe to.

AUs are fantastic. Proof is in the pudding. 😂

subbed ❤ 😂

she wasn't that rooted could of grabbed a sump for $20 and got it cranking again and chucked the turbo on it (before you killed it ahah) good thumbnail bum i thought she was flying

On a mission from god ! .

7:34....🔥👍

You can't spell beautiful without AU

Just a little bottom end knock...... Just some mollybond and gaffer tap she'll be mint 👌🍻

Absolutely sent
