The Ford Falcon (XC) is a full-size car that was produced by Ford producer Australia from 1976 to 1979. It was the third and last version of the third era of this Australian-made model and also included the Ford Fairmont (XC)--the luxury-oriented version of the Falcon.OverviewThe XC series was a facelift of the XB Falcon, itself an upgrade of the XA Falcon which got entered production in 1972. Launched in July 1976, the XC was the first model to comply with the new pollution regulations specified under Australian Style Rule 27A. The response to the first of Come july 1st 1976, mandatory anti-pollution laws (ADR 27A), was to redevelop the Falcon 6 cylinder engines with a cross-flow head for greater efficiency.Visually, the XC Falcon was given a restyle treatment. The XC had an less aggressive nose area which incorporated two circular headlights on Falcon models and two rectangular car headlights on Fairmont models.
