The Ford Falcon (XC) is a full-size car that was produced by Ford Australia from 1976 to 1979. It was the third and last time of the third generation 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 had entered production 39 years ago. Released in July 1976, the XC was the first model to comply with the new pollution restrictions specified under Australian Style Rule 27A. The response to the very first of Come july 1st 1976, mandatory anti-pollution laws (ADR 27A), was to redevelop the Falcon six cylinder engines with a cross-flow head for higher efficiency.Visually, the XC Falcon was given a restyle treatment. The XC had an less aggressive nose area which incorporated two round headlights on Falcon models and two rectangular headlamps on Fairmont models. Ford also addressed the vision problems of the XA and XB by going to great expense and redesigning the rear door windows and installing an all-new dash and putting in higher front seats. That was the last model Falcon to use cola bottle styling and was replaced with the XD Falcon in 1979.Total production of the XC range reached 171, 082 vehicles prior to the replacement of the XC by the XD Falcon in Mar 1979.Model rangeThe XC Falcon range of traveler vehicles consisted of nine models:Falcon SedanFalcon WagonFalcon 500 Four doorFalcon 500 WagonFalcon GS HardtopFairmont SedanFairmont WagonFairmont HardtopFairmont GXL SedanThe Fairmont models were not badged or marketed as Falcons.The XC Falcon selection of commercial vehicles consisted of five models:Falcon VanFalcon 500 TruckFalcon UtilityFalcon five-hundred UtilityFalcon Sundowner TruckFairmont GXLUnique to the XC model was the GXL version of the Fairmont, Obtainable in 4. 1L Straight 6, or 4. 9L Cleveland V8.
