In 1978, Ford was getting ready to introduce a new body style for its popular Falcon. They wanted to produce their new model as a sedan or station wagon, so a two-door coupe was out of production. After closing down the assembly lines of the old model, Ford was left with 400 coupe body shells that they were supposed to scrap.

So Ford decided to turn the leftover bodies into a special version called Falcon Cobra. The 1978 Falcon Cobra came with a 5.8 or 5.0 V8 engine and automatic or manual transmission. Also, it came in two colors, white or blue. Each car had stripes as an homage to those Shelby Mustangs popular in Australia. Today, the Falcon Cobra is a valuable and highly desirable car in Oceania.
