This one is less than complimentary and comes from
a Car website describing a low production Australian built car of the 70s:
FORD XY FALCON 4X4
Earlier this year and with considerable fanfare, Ford launched its Falcon-based Territory all-wheel-drive.
In 1972 and with hardly a murmur, Ford also became the first Australian manufacturer since Caldwell-Vale to produce a four-wheel drive vehicle that wasn't primarily intended for military use.
The XY Falcon 4x4 utility was built at Ford's Brisbane factory, using running gear from the Jeep Wagoneer, three-speed transmissions and Ford's 4.1-litre/250ci engine.
Suspension was by rudimentary semi-elliptic springs that gave a ride reminiscent of the WWII Ford Blitz, while the block-tread tyres and standard winch further emphasized the 4x4's off-road credentials.
Just 432 were made and they appear in the market with sufficient frequency to maintain buyer interest. Prices range from around $7000 for those that have been used as their maker intended to over $12,000 for immaculate, restored examples.
