Nice , I probably worked on that ute back in the 90s when I was at Selwyn Ford in Palmerston North.👍

The rear registration plate screws to the spare tyre drop down door.

I recognised the NZ plate, this is still in the vehicle registration system here, cool as.

these cars are rare in australia and are sky rocketing in price

Love the New Zealand number plate on the front, says Palmerston North, I'm sitting 70km away from there watching this.

very cool! love the falcon

That ute has been around. From Australia to New Zealand and now in the USA. Kind of fitting it's in prostitute red... 😂

the number plate.. goes just behind the towbar..and I think that's the spare tyre is kept.

Some information for you: * Going by the dash and also the front panels this car is XF series (1984 - 1988) * The plate (tag) on the front bumper is from New Zealand, 100%. Australian ones are VERY different to that one. Hope this helps.

I love my 96 xh xr6 manual it’s slightly modified bit better than the older XG with the floppy bonnet and out dated front suspension

Great setting for this video! The grab bar in the bed is very cool - I'm ready for a ride!

My profile picture is in my opinion the best car I have ever owned, unfortunately I sold it and have regretted it ever since. It’s a 1995 Ford Falcon EF XR8 option 20

Still plenty of them floating around here in new zealand great utes

VB is the beer 🍺 to drink in Australia 🇦🇺 it actually gets you drunk 😂

Put a big exhaust on and listen to that big six howl....I have a three inch exhaust on my Tickford Six...They sound Awesome ...nice Ute welcome to the Aussie Blokes club !

Ive owned a number of xg utes The xg didn't come in a 3.2 or 3.9, what makes the xr6 different is a body kit and tune

I’ve always appreciated the performance cars that Australia had. That UTE XR8 has to be a hoot to drive. 5.4L manual.

Had:a 4.0L XF in Caribbean Green.

Nice example

That would be THE ONLY one in the US ! Being from NZ, I recognised the number plate instantly. I've had a handful of Aussie Falcon's, but my 2001 XR8 with the Tickford Hand Built 5.0L Windsor is the most special. These last pushrod engines took the builder a whole day per engine, and made 295hp, 55hp more than the '94 Mustang Cobra. Came with Gt40p heads with bigger intake/exhaust valves 70mm throttle body, roller rockers, mild port matching, unique camshaft and headers as standard. Every engine was hot run tested, and has a plaque on the rocker cover saying HAND BUILT WITH PRIDE, and the builders signature etched in !!

3.2 and 3.9 never came in the XG. The base model (not XR6) still had the 4.0L six, but made less power without the Tickford package. It also came with boring square headlights, not the cool quad lights you have there.

the last of the "V8 Interceptors" is based on the XA to XC Series (so 1971 to 1979) Falcon sedan. Here is the issue though, the one everyone remembers and wants is actually a "Super Pursuit" black XB Coupe with the "Concord" front end design treatment is not an "Interceptor" which was the regular Falcon 4 door sedan, moving along. What you have (Falcon ute) is basically a "XD" chassis (1979) with "XF" body (1987) (save for the quad headlight treatment) with an "ED" engine (1993) with the quad headlight treatment which also came from the same era "ED Falcon XR8 Sprint" sedan which was also a Tickford* enhanced vehicle. *Tickford during this time was a 51% owned by Ford Australia 49% owned by TVE United Kingdom (Tickford Vehicle Engineering) company that Ford Australia contracted to make "enhanced" Ford Australia cars like Falcon, Capri, Laser and Telstar (not sure if the USA ever got Mazda 626 from 1980's 1990's era), the Australian made cars rolled off the production line in Campbellfield Victoria and then went across the road to Tickford were they were enhanced. Engine wise Tickford did: head, extractors, cam upgrade, different engine and fuel map , extra cooling for radiator, transmission, enhanced the steering and suspension and of course the exterior and interior, they also made the XR8 version where the 8 was for V8 as in a Windsor 4.9L (302ci) enhanced fuel injected V8 which was also used in various North American Mustang but heavily revised for right hand drive and fit into the Falcon engine bay, yours being an automatic its a 4-speed electronic (2 drive modes: Power and Economy) control BTR (re: Borg Warner) torque converter made in Australia. Power and torque (in metric) for this particular engine is 161kW at 5,500rpm and 364Nm from 3,000 rpm to 4,000rpm (yes it has a flat torque curve), its a simple 12-valve (so 2 valves per cyl) alloy head with SINGLE OHC on an iron block 4.0L displacement with Multipoint (batch fired) EFI. This example being a New Zealand specification does not have to comply with the ADR (Australia Design Rules) so there are minor variance differences like steering wheel and number plate holders. Anyway nice video, please try to keep the ol Falcon in decent condition and if you want more history about these cars just ask.

Your Boss 302 Laguna Seca was a real future classic, even racier than the original in my opinion !!

XG never came out in sedan or wagon. The new EA Falcons only came out in sedan and wagon and didn't have a ute or panel van, so they continued with the XF panel van and ute bodies and made them the XG.

The NA inline 6’s are quick but they are more tuquie for towing stuff like that specially the Barra motors

25 year mark, start looking at the AU XR6/XR8 in the near future

Theres space for a rear plate. Just get appropriate size.

Is it possible to import B series falcons into the US now? Amazing seeing a falcon in America

As others have said. Replace that beer flavoured beverage with some VB. (Absolutely no one here drinks fosters)

You are aware your car is actually from New Zealand? It has NZ plates even the rego label. They were built here too. So maybe change the beer to some decent NZ beer rather than the aussie excuse for beer 😅 I have a B Series XR6 Turbo, if you search Hubnut he did a KZfaq review on it while in New Zealand. Enjoy the ute, it's along way from home.

Is that the inline Ford six they build insane power out of in Australia?

No one drinks Foster's here. Never see it in a bottle shop. Mainly brewed offshore under license

Incase you don't know No Australian drinks Foster's , it's shit beer!

That's a New Zealand license plate, not Australian

If you ever need any help for parts etc reach out mate

Hope you have spare door handles mate.

cool to see but you do realise that a lot (and i mean a LOT) of australians dont drink fosters

The reason they are rare is people parking them in the grass like you. Hot exhaust meets dry grass. What a pity
