1978 ford xc falcon cobra

[michelle]

I made this aussie ford using a mpc 70 cyclone body and chassis which I cut down and reshaped and a amt 71 mustang hood which I cut apart and reshaped and a amt 71 mustang interior pan and interior parts which I modified the dash to match the xc falcons dash I did a shifter and steering wheel swap with ones from my parts boxes that were closer to what was in a xc cobra the mirrors and front and back bumpers and wheels and exhaust tips also came from my parts boxes I made the rear spoiler using two amt 83 camaro rear spoilers and the grill I made from a amt fast and furious 70 charger grille/front wrap around bumper the rear window louvers are from a Revell 70 torino cobra kit I painted the body rust-oleum 2x gloss white and the stripes I painted rust-oleum 2x gloss brilliant blue the interior I hand painted apple barrel matte jet black acrylic paint and apple barrel matte cobalt blue acrylic paint all the chrome work I hand painted using folkart metallic sterling silver acrylic craft paint using a dead ultra fine tip sharpie I hand made the western Australia license plates
the audio playing in the video is from a episode of shannons club tv on the xc falcon

Hi Michelle, another good build there, always interested to see how you put parts from other kits together to make something else. You’ve captured the look of the XC Falcon Cobra nicely. They’re a very highly prized muscle car here in Australia ( and highly priced! ) 

Cheers, Stu.

Thank you 
I know they are very rare also since I think they only made like 300 of them which would also explain why they are more sought after and cost more then the rest of the xc falcon line when they go up for auction
