I agree with you too and the older ones for me, are easier to work on. The newer ones they do not want you to be able to do your own work.

You're working on your cars? My respect! And it's true – with new cars (and my cars are always new) you can't do anything. Just refueling every week lol

Yeah Lover,
I am happy when I am under the hood of my future hot rod part deux lol I gaine the knowledge from my mom, when I was little she had  TBird that was breaking own every other day it seemed lol. I use to go out there with her and watch her and my pops work on it and it just stuck with me and now its a hobby of mine. Not only can I work on a car but I can and do cook some very delish meals too.

AH yes the General Lee, “Just A Good ole boy, never meanin no harm beats all ya eva saw been in trouble with the law since the day they was born”

Wow, too bad this was the only one…I mean don't get me wrong I love IT but see I would do some modifications on it. First I would change that flag to be an American flag, and then I would paint it B5 blue and change the name from General Lee, to General Grant…same car only better.

i see ignorance REIGNS SUPREME HERE, newer model cars  are MUCH easier to work on.
they aree computer controlled  all you do is  remove the battery positive terminal  for 15  to 30 second  then replace  the  terminal, this  reboots the  computer  and this retimes  the  spark  resets the  fuel  injectors  so there is your tune up  (yes  you replace the spark plugs  and  any worn components  of the ignition system)  you can buy  for ten dollars a device that plugs into the  diagnostic  port on the car  and using an app in your smart phone  it will diagnose  and  inform you of any  ffaulty components.

No more setting the timing  points gap fuel injection mapping  ect

anything else is  still the same as it was 60 yrs ago internal combustion motors are still the same as they have been since they were  invented.

I would appreciate it if you would reframe from calling people names or name calling period. You have the right to have your opinion and that is fine and I welcome that. BUT this is not about putting anyone down or bringing condemnation to anyone who believes differently than you. Thank you and I look forward to more of your pics:) 

[FoxyRoxxy]

i see ignorance REIGNS SUPREME HERE,

I dont see  see how this  kind of  comments and  behavior are  are allowed in here 

by the active  mood that is here at the moment

  what gives you the right to call others  ignorance

I say you should watch your word as  how you  adresss other

[leighdeexxx]

Now about the Ford Falcon GTHO 71 what exactly are the specs on it. I think I might have a pic of it at a car show called the Good Guys that come every summer to my home town.

[AusWoody]

first and foremost  i DIDN'T call ANYONE  ignorant i merely  commented on the fact that there is a lot of MISINFORMATION  regarding the ease or  difficulty  in working on modern automobiles.

let me give you a definition of ignorance

• lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact
  : ignorant of quantum physics.
• uninformed; unaware.

my intention was to  inform and  assist those  who were hesitant to  attempt  to repair and maintain  their vehicles  with some confidence

now  in answer to Leigh's  question allow me to elucidate


The new XY GT rolled off the line in late 1970, and was followed in 1971 with the all-time classic GT HO Phase III. With between 350 and 380bhp (270 – 280 kW) and 380 ft/lbs (513Nm) of torque, it was reputed then to be the world's fastest 4-door production car.

Looking suitably aggressive8 with its air intake protruding through the bonnet and bold side stripes, the XY GT's were affectionately known as “Shakers” to many people, a nickname derived from the shaking action of the bonnet scoop and particularly noticeable while the engine is idling.

It is also the vehicle that most people associate with the term Falcon GT. The XY GT was the model that has most captured the imagination of the masses and it is the one that is most often copied.

Many people have purchased standard XY Falcons or Fairmonts and dressed them up to imitate the most legendary of all Falcon GT's.

There were 1,557 XY GT's made from September 1970 to December 1971. There were 300 XY GTHO Phase III's built between May 1971 and November 1971.
