11. 1978 Ford Falcon Cobra
In 1978, Ford was getting ready to introduce a new body style for its popular Falcon. The new model was going to be a sedan or station wagon, and the two-door coupe was out of production. After closing their assembly lines for the old model, Ford was left with 400 coupe body shells that they were supposed to scrap. However, Ford decided to turn the leftover bodies into a special version they called the Falcon Cobra.
The 1978 Falcon Cobra came with a 5.8 or 5.0 V8 engine, an automatic or manual transmission and two colors – white or blue. Each car had racing stripes as an homage to the Shelby Mustangs that were popular in Australia. Today, the Falcon Cobra is a valuable and much sought-after car in Oceania.
