The best of the best will have to be my ED fairmont as it had everything and it just traveled sooo well. Then the XD Falcon (maybe becouse it was my first car )

My XW GT. Wasn't 100% original, I resprayed (a new colour) as part of the restoration and the 351 had quite a bit of work done to it. Miss it terribly. 99% sure I saw it go past me the other day too.

Mine would have to be my XF... POS gearbox (notorious 4 speed manual) but when she worked she was brilliant. I loved that car, and if I could've afforded the things that needed to be done then I would've done it without a doubt.
She was so FAST! Uhhh... not that I'd know anything about going fast. Oh no, I am a law-abiding citizen :Up_to_som

Nicest would be my BA XR8, but my favourite would have been my XBGT.

I would have to say my new GT-P, closely followed by my XR8 ute. I still regret selling my NF Fairlane, it was a great car, however, you have to move on when new things come out.
Cheers, Danny

Without a doubt the GTP,have had lots of Falcons my first was XA Fairmont V8 it was a good car at it's time but like everything else every new model gets better,the T-Series also was a great car,but to be honest the GTP has got it all,wonderful touring car.
Cheers John

Well I've only owned two Falcons. A EA GL 3 speed and a EL Ghia 5.0L. Have a guess at which one I think is nicer

Its hard to go past my old XD ute (worked 351) plenty of balls and a nice car to drive. Then the ED classic, no V8 but still a good car.
Best of all though is defInatly my AU2 XR8 ute. It has every thing the others had plus more.

My current EF is my first Falcon so far. Appart from smashing the diff in an accident (bald tyres in the wet don't mix), I'm very happy with it!!
It doesn't measure up to a lot of the Falcons posted here, but as far as EFs go, she's a beauty. Very comfortable and nice performance.
