A Blast from the past.

Australian advert from Sports Car World April 1973.

Aunger louvre advert featuring a Ford Falcon and a Datsun 240z.

Is that a US spec 240Z?

It has no rear marker lights. :cross-eye

Probably not since the ad appears in an AUSTRALIAN publication.

Right. he, he. I knew that, seriously, I was just testing you guyes! :stupid:

What's the other car in the ad? It says "351 GT" on the rear; is it a Ford pony car that we didn't get in the States? Looks cool from what I can see. :classic:

If my memory is correct, it was also known as a Cobra.

Very much a muscle car, 2 door sporty config.

It's an XA/B/C Falcon isn't it?

XA/B/C

Yup, America actually missed out on at least ONE great muscle car... the one in the picture is an XA

Yes spot on, although it isn't a C or Cobra.

Interesting link Gee, next time I see a Cobra for sale and going cheap I'll nab it.

With only 400 produced it's definatly a rarity.

MOM

Alfa's right. Its an XA. The XB hadnt been released yet (at the time of publication), and the XB had horizonal side markers, where as the XA had verticle ones.

And for the record Aussie 240z's didnt have side markers.
