Hi Fellow Henry Lovers,
I am joining this site as I have finally embarked on the restoration of my 1977 XC Coupe. I purchased it in 1994. Then life got in the way. Finally, with kids left school, life blessing me and the universe leading me to the right man for the job i have taken it down from the top shelf of life's journey, brushed the dust off, scrounged up some spare change and begun. I am so excited. I am also so grateful. I bought it on a calculated whim, but it has almost become a metaphor for my life. My Brambles Red, 1977 XC Falcon 500 is an extension of me. and, as it is repaired and lovingly restored, so to will I be restored and galvanised to continue in a world that does not, or ever will, comprehend the world we lived in. A time that dreamt up, built, embraced, drove and celebrated the era of the Australian Muscle Car. Where the simplicity of Metal, form, power and tribalism united a country. United by rivalry, empowered by power, and we all had the chance to live it. I have three sons. Ironically, or unsurprisingly they all get excited by my car. Its in our DNA. Anyway, Shout out to As I travel this journey I would be grateful for some counsel based on your experiences as I am sure I am not the first to pour their heart, soul and hard earned into what the non believers might argue is essentially a hunk of metal. Exciting journey ahead. WWW |

Hi All. Thanks for the inclusion. I have to confess always having had a Ford preference based primarily on reliability and comfort. Now in retirement and busier than ever, I'm glad to have found this group where I can continue to learn new tricks but also offer some experience of my own where relevant and possible. Cheers, Andy

Hi Ford Nuts
Been a Ford girl for a lot of years. I've got a BA 2002 Falcon Wagon, her name is Goldie, & I've had her for about 8 years. Had an AU before my Goldie. Had a couple of late 1970 to early 1980's wagons before that, all of whom did some fantastic work for me. Goldie has done some kms, not the least of which is multiple trips between Albury/Wodonga & Bundaberg, where I now live. She's reliable & I love her. Don't ask me how I gave birth to 2 kids who are into Holdens!!!! Absolutely insane!!!!!!!! Hope to put a few bits of wisdom in the forum, as I'm lucky to be a little bit more knowledgeable about cars than the average woman. (had a truck licence in a previous life, not that I was ever able to drive trucks but managed to drive buses for a while..... back in the mid 1990's women didn't drive trucks did they!!!) |

Hi all, iv'e recently joined and want to say hello first and foremost.
I've had nothing but bad luck lately. But been blessed in the past to have 4 amazing sons. The oldest of my boys just did an amazing thing for me, he gave me his 1997 Ford Falcon xr6 to sell and keep the money to get me and his mum out of some financial hardship. What i want to know is the best place to sell this relatively rare car and how would i work out the value. Thank you all. |
