All the old girls up to the XD (Not really fond of the others in the X series)
EL
EF
BA
BF

Their my favourites.

Dont be suprised if you see me driving around hoisting the blue oval flag over my head in a EF or something in the future.

I'm going for XR, purely because my "brown bomber" (XRGT) was the 1st Falcon I'd owned. I spose a close 2nd would be BA after my Pursuit & XR6T experiences.

I'm with you there + the XE S Packs looked very nice when first released. The grill and rear lights gave it a less square appearance than the preceeding XD. My old man had a blue one (albeit only a I6) which would have to be one of the driving forces behind me having an AU XR8 now.

Boy I loved the XE, especially the ESP.

What a chioce. It's like being a kid in lollie shop. Hard to choose only one. BA got my vote. Ford took a great step forward in regaining lost glory when they released this model. Ambrose also helped us to raise our flags on race day in a BA. It had been a long time coming. The BA has really been a great addition to the Falcon family tree.

My favourite falcon would have to be mine… :hihi:



Although this one isn’t too bad either.

God damn, where do I start...

Had an XE ESP, 302 auto. Top car.
The misses AUII XR8 is fantastic also.
The old man had an XY ute with a 351 and a top loader. Fast on it's own, and a great tow car.

Would luv an AU T3 TS50. 5.6lt. of Windsor. YUM!!
Or an XY GTHO Ph.3, but who wouldn't.

But my FAV is an XT GT, in Zircon Green or Polar White.
Just luv the things.
1 day, 1 day...

I voted for the XA. I love the shape, especially of the GT Coupe and would also happily sell 18 grandmothers for Landau, they kinda count as an XA?

I love the AUIII T Series. Mean looking and well engineered. Same for the ED XR8 Sprint (not biased :p ) Something a bit extra that made them special and set them above the pack.
