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 time 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 restrictions specified under Australian Design and style Rule 27A. The response to the very first of July 1976, mandatory anti-pollution regulations (ADR 27A), was to redevelop the Falcon 6 cylinder engines with a cross-flow head for higher efficiency.Visually, the XC Falcon was given a restyle treatment. The XC recently had an less aggressive nose area which incorporated two circular headlights on Falcon models and two rectangular car headlights on Fairmont models. Ford producer also addressed the perspective problems of the XA and XB by going to great expense and redesigning the rear door windows and installing an all-new dash and setting up higher front seats. That was the last model Falcon to use pepsi bottle styling and was replaced with the XD Falcon in 1979.Total production of the XC range reached 171, 082 vehicles before the replacement of the XC by the XD Falcon in March 1979.Model rangeThe XC Falcon selection of passenger vehicles consisted of nine models:Falcon SedanFalcon WagonFalcon 500 CarFalcon 500 WagonFalcon GS HardtopFairmont SedanFairmont WagonFairmont Hard topFairmont GXL SedanThe Fairmont models were not badged or marketed as Falcons.The XC Falcon selection of commercial vehicles comprised of five models:Falcon VanFalcon 500 VanFalcon EnergyFalcon five-hundred UtilityFalcon Sundowner TruckFairmont GXLUnique to the XC model was the GXL version of the Fairmont, Accessible in 4. 1L Straight 6, or 4. 9L Cleveland V8.
