  1. I'm pretty sure that's an XA or XB Falcon GT coupe, though the grill is a bit off. Have you not seen Mad Max with Mel Gibson? His coupe in that is an XB Landau which is based on the Falcon.

    1. I have seen the Mad Max movies, all of them. The Mad Max car had a different nose, headlights encased in a flat glass cover, and the blower.
      Let me say again, THIS is a great looking design, why haven't I seen IT in tv shows or movies. You can see the difference, yes? I did not ask why the Mad Max car was going to be discussed by everyo0ne commenting.
      Nope. I asked about the car in the above photo.

  2. I have to add, if you haven't seen many Aussie car movies. You have to watch Running on Empty (1982). I don't want to give any spoilers but you have to watch for the '57 Chevy coupe.

    1. Thanks! I'll try to find the Running on Empty movie, for the 57. But I still want to see THE ABOVE CAR in a tv show or movie

  3. Hi Jesse, that's an Australian built and designed XB Ford Falcon coupe built between 1973 and 1976. You have seen one in a movie before, although it had a custom front end by Peter Arcadipane. The movie? "Mad Max".

      The one in the above photo, is not the Mad Max car, I've posted about it.
      If I asked about a early 1950s VW Bug with the split rear window, early tail lights, semaphore turn signals, would you tell me I've seen Herbie the Love Bug? No. I don't think so, you might say well, those early 1950s Bugs were not in movies, but should be.
      But I don't think you'd say, how about a 73 Super Beetle, or Herbie.
      Please, lets admire the car that was posted, not some race car version, or movie prop version. They look different.
      I like this one. I like those too, but I'm not talking about them now

  6. looks like a 70-71 Ford Torino with a 71 Mustang hood and grill.

    hopefully Jesse has seen all the mad max movies. even though some were really lame.

    1. Oh yeah! I forgot about that, as it was 11 years ago, https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2015/03/fuel-magazines-new-issue-looks-to-be.html and I loved it!

  8. As people have said, it is an Aussie Falcon XB Coupe. There is a Falcon XA Coupe (same body but different front) in the movie Two Hands with Heath Ledger & Bryan Brown. Great Movie. Sorry - not the same car but similar.

  9. A 1974 Ford Falcon (XB) features in a 1998 music video clip; Puretone - Addicted To Bass
    Flat black paintjob with a really big wing on the rear, hoodscoop up front and side pipes.
    The girls are very nice to look at as well
