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 had entered production in 1972.

The response to the first of Come july 1st 1976, mandatory anti-pollution regulations (ADR 27A), was to redevelop the Falcon six cylinder engines with a cross-flow head for greater efficiency.Visually, the XC Falcon was given a restyle treatment. The XC recently had an less aggressive nasal area which incorporated two rounded headlights on Falcon models and two rectangular car headlights on Fairmont models.
