It was the third and last iteration of the third generation of the Falcon and also included the Ford Fairmont XC —the luxury-oriented version of the Falcon. Introduced in July , the XC was the first model to comply with the new pollution regulations specified under Australian Design Rule 27A. The response to the 1 July , mandatory anti-pollution laws ADR 27A , was to redevelop the Falcon six cylinder engines with a cross-flow head for greater efficiency. Visually, the XC Falcon was given a restyle treatment. The XC had a less aggressive nose which incorporated two round headlights on Falcon models and two rectangular headlights on Fairmont models. The XC Falcon range of passenger vehicles consisted of nine models: [3]. The XC Falcon range of commercial vehicles consisted of five models: [8]. An upgraded engine package, the GT Power Pack, used the larger 5. These were based on the GS hardtop but featured an homologation pack of additional parts that Ford persuaded CAMS was now available as standard on GS hardtops, in order to include those parts on their race cars. The pack included front and rear spoilers, twin electric radiator fans, various body and steering braces for durability and stiffness, and a reverse bonnet scoop that supplied cool air to the engine via a circular hole in the bonnet.

Motor racing has always been a rich test bed for the improvement of production cars. No period was more influential than the 60s and 70s when manufacturers were constantly improving their models in order to make them quicker, more reliable and ultimately to win races, especially at Bathurst. These modifications were homologated as a production variation and had to be approved by CAMS for racing. As the rules required, a certain number of street cars had to be sold to the public in order for the car to be able to race with these changes. These homologations included a reversed engine bonnet scoop, twin thermatic fans and air ducting to the front brakes. At the same time, Ford Australia revealed the XC Falcon replacement, the XD, would only be available as a four-door sedan and as a wagon.
