ABOUT THE 1977 XC HARDTOP HOMOLOGATION SPECIAL

December 1977 Ford built 13 XC Falcon Hardtops which all carried chassis numbers commencing with JG65TE (verified by Ford). These cars were equipped with all the body and mechanical specifications approved in the September 1977 and October 1977 evolution race homologations, which would later form the basis of the special build of 30 Bathurst Cobras built six months later in July, 1978. Considering the small number of cars and the timing of their manufacture, it is believed these 13 cars were built as a one off special order batch specifically for Ford teams which planned to race them in the 1978 season.

The whereabouts of the other dozen JG65TE cars is unknown at this stage. The race-only plan for these cars was authenticated by Ford Australia historian Adrian Ryan,

Ryan confirms that “Ford built 13 XC Hardtops with Bathurst specifications, however several of these were scrapped and I don’t know how many were sold to the public. I understand that these cars were made for the various race teams and for development use. Usually any prototype or development cars are scrapped but sometimes they are sold to employees or to dealers. This is all the information I can find on these vehicles.”
