Awww. Poor thing!

(Seriously, out of curiosity, is that a relatively pure/stock look? My family had a '71 Mach One Mustang when I was growing up, and this looks an awful lot like that one, but not quite; like something did some aftermarket stuff to it that made it come out Wrong. But it looks too well done to be aftermarket...)

That would be somewhere around a 1977 Ford Falcon Hardtop. Original, stock body shape. The last of the line of Fords V8 performance sedan/Coupes, designed for winning the Australian Touring car championship. Against their arch Nemesis, Holden. The previous model the XY GTHO Phase III Falcon held the World record for a while, as the World's fastest production 4 door sedan. Legend has it that the CEO or someone very high up in Ford Australia, had a stove hot 429 ci version built specially for him. The government stepped in and put a halt to it all with the "Supercar scare" threatening to stop purchasing local product as government vehicles if I remember correctly. And other drastic measures.
Here's another one

I think Travis was referring to the car with the rego plate BT340, just before the photo of the HQ Holden. It looks like a Ford Mustang but the front grill is non-standard.

The Ford Falcon GT Hardtops you mentioned all look to be the XA model which was produced in 1972-1973. Allan Moffat drove one for a few years for the Ford factory racing team. A mighty car indeed.

I clicked on the link in his quote, and it took me to the X? Hardtop. The car with the BT340 number plate is a Plymouth 'Cuda. Not sure what year or if it's still running the original engine.
The same dude also owns this Chysler New Yorker Deluxe (shot with my Lumix 18 mm f1.8) that he bought with a trashed engine of some old due for cheap

Yeah, the Ford GT is the one I was talking about. It looks an awful lot like an early 70s Mach One Mustang, at least to me… ^^;;

Ah, my mistake.

The XA Falcon is legendary, at least in my mind.
