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 iteration of the third technology 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. Introduced in July 1976, the XC was the first model to comply with the new pollution restrictions specified under Australian Design Rule 27A. The response to the 1st of July 1976, mandatory anti-pollution regulations (ADR 27A), was to redevelop the Falcon half a dozen cylinder engines with a cross-flow head for better efficiency.Visually, the XC Falcon was given a restyle treatment. The XC recently had an less aggressive nose area which incorporated two round headlights on Falcon models and two rectangular headlights on Fairmont models. Ford also addressed the eyesight problems of the XA and XB by heading to great expense and redesigning the rear door windows and installing an all-new dash and setting up higher front seats. This was the last model Falcon to use coke 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 March 1979.Model rangeThe XC Falcon range of passenger vehicles consisted of nine models:Falcon SedanFalcon WagonFalcon 500 CarFalcon 500 WagonFalcon GS HardtopFairmont Four doorFairmont WagonFairmont HardtopFairmont GXL SedanThe Fairmont models were not badged or marketed as Falcons.The XC Falcon range of commercial vehicles consisted of five models:Falcon VanFalcon 500 TruckFalcon EnergyFalcon 500 UtilityFalcon Sundowner TruckFairmont GXLUnique to the XC model was the GXL version of the Fairmont, Available in 4. 1L Straight 6, or 4. 9L Cleveland OF V8.
