my brothe rhad an XC 4speed 351 rally pack, wish we had it now, i imagine that combo would have been rare back then, more so now. Everytime we looked we found some small difference like the tabs that came down infront of the shock nuts, sump gaurd all sorts of things. seemed strange to offer a wagon as big as that with a rally pack, wasnt like u would rally it.

XB. My brother had a blue XB GS wagon with hotwires and that thing look mean as.

To this day I'd prefer a nice XA/B/C wagon to the sedan and the XA/B/C are my favourite looking aussie Fords.

I think the OP has it nailed with the XM first and EF/EL a close second. Two very sexy shapes. I'd put the XF wagon in third place.

Go the XK-XP wagons for the win! EF/EL wagons a 2nd placing.

I would have to say it would be one of the Short Wheel Base (Falcon Sedan) ones. I think from XA on they start to look a bit long and bloated. While the extra Wheel Base was good for carrying extra Cargo, it spoiled the look of the Car.

My favorite would have to be an XY Fairmont GS. A Mate at work had one years ago and it was a great looking Car.

Easy answer....the Territory!!

OK, but if it actually has to have a Falcon badge....I'll go with any of the previous suggestions - funny how easy we forget how good a decent XE wagon looked - loved that ESP-looking red 5.8 from an earlrier post!

Gotta love a Falcon wagon. I can still remember my dad taking delivery of a brand new 5.8 XD Fairmont wagon back in May 81. I can still remember asking him what the hell is a 4 barrel as thats what the air cleaner said.
Sounded great once he flipped the air cleaner lid upside down.
My vote, XC Fairmont FTW.
