The Falcon was Ford of Australia's answer to the Mustang. The name continues to this day to define Ford Performance.

The 1969 XW was the result of Ford trying to make the Falcon look more macho. Jason Mansweto pictured below doesn't need anything to make his 69 look more macho. Powered by a 408 c.i. Windsor (a wee bit bigger than my 393 Windsor-ed.) the car runs 9.51 at 143mph naturally aspired.

Road Ragers has to get bonus points for the coolest packaged diecast I have ever seen

In 1970 Ford released the XW in GT and GTHO flavers.

The Road Rager pictured below is a GTHO Phase II. Interesting to note. The car came with a 36 gallon gas tank.

Hard to tell but the engine looks like it is sitting in the engine bay. Note the pain in the tush Ford shock towers from that era. Also you can see Road Ragers does some extra detail work in the engine compartment.

The backs of the Road Ragers boxes have useful information

The Biante 1970 XY Falcon pictured below has the optional shaker hood found on 69-70 Ford Mustangs. I have no idea on how to tell a XW and XY Falcon apart.

Nobody does an undercarriage like Biante. The exhaust actually looks like it is hanging from the undercarriage.

The 1970 XT GTHO Phase III Falcon is the ultimate Falcon. Powered by what sounds to be a similar to a Boss 351 engine the car came with solid lifters, Ford Holly 778 cfm, close ratio 4-speed, and optional 31-spline traction lock. Car was rated at 300 H.P. but actual number was around 380 H. P. The Road Rager pictured below looks to painted close to Grabber Blue, my favorite color.

i like the later Falcon XA and XB coupes better.

Nice details.

love the wheels on the XY

Must have at least one Biante.

i like the later Falcon XA and XB coupes better.

Don't forget XC's. I like them better as well but the 4 door Falcons were far more muscular.

that first one at the top is too much man... got an extra?:wave:

I wish I did.

You want to check out some insane wheel stand videos take a look at Manswetos's Capri. 604ci Ford Engine.

Hey Atencio, if it's OK, I will tag my only Falcon in with yours. Also a Biante, but done as a road racing replica this time.

Great thread with awesome cars you've started. I would wonder how many can add to it. Still not an every day casting here in the states.

That is pretty sharp. I love that it shows modified exhaust. I have some racing XC Falcons but no XY's. I could swear I have a maroon with gold striping Biante XY but sure can't seem to locate it.

HOLY BAT SNOT!!! I just clicked the vid in the above post...that thing DOES fly! I love the fact that the guy never lifted!!!

Always thought it was strange Austrailians like 4dr muscle cars so much..what's up with that?

As pictures shows Biante makes really good and accurate die cast items, I tried several times to buy one of this beauties but I really don´t know where to buy, it would be great if you tell me some retailers in Internet who work this models.

I bought my first Biantes from Biante directly. They not only sell their own cars but Kyoshos, AutoArt, and Minichamp as well. Prices are a wee bit high on the last three just mentioned though. I think the first order I had to do with a money gram or cashiers check. It was something weird. The follow-up orders they took my credit card. Weird thing about Biante is that they take forever from when they say they will make a diecast to when they will actually make it. I pre-ordered a set of 6 XA-XC Falcons and it seemed like it took six months to actually get it

If you see something you want I could contact my source and see if he could get it. It might just take a while as we usually wait until we have a lot of stuff to send before we do our exchanges.

Thanks a lot for the information.

It is practical. Who wants to get the front passenger out and lean a seat forward everytime you want to get the kids in and out of the car?

One bodyshell, many different engine options.

Win on Sunday, sell on Monday, something they took from the USA.

ya but a muscle car is not for the kids unless they are in the passenger seat or driving...
