Typhoon followed by the F6.

The Typhoon was awesome, stepped into the 8 ring and said 'let's play girls'.
Looked awesome, went awesome and put the I6 Turbo up on centre stage.
Anything Barra Turbo does it for me.

I'd have to say XB, I'm sure they designed the ergonomics specifically for my body & they had an ash tray the size of a small shoe box.

In contrast I can't get comfortable in my BA with all the seat, steering wheel & pedal adjustments.

XW Fairmont 302 - cry every time I remember I sold it and the $2,500 I accepted for it. For some reason late model Falcons could never copy the great seating/steering arrangement the late 60's 70's cars had.

A tuneable EcoLPI would have been nice.

Capable of making the petrol Barra look very slow and cheap as chips to fill up.

XY 4WD. Go lots of places any other Falcons couldn't! Frazer Island, Moreton Island, Kakadu and any where off road. Not built for speed or comfort but it was my favourite falcon.

Now that's nice . I love that picture , what a stance.. My absolute favourite for a multitude of reasons is the 1971 XY GTHO Phase 3..
I cannot decide more than this on so many great Falcons before and since the legendary Phase 3 , so I won't even try..It's an impossible choice for me.
