• The Ford Falcon wasn't just a car — it was an Australian icon, a symbol of homegrown muscle, pride, and family friendliness that thundered down our roads, dominated our racetracks, put the "falc" in falcodore, and — let's face it — made for one hell of a taxi.
  
• In this episode, discover how the Falcon evolved from its 'trim, taut, terrific' beginnings into the ultimate supercar - the highly revered GTHO Phase III. Hear how it burned its image into Aussie folklore through a legendary drive and the most iconic photo of our muscle car era.

Ford Falcon: Tru-Blu Underdog (Part 2)

• Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday. The '70s was a tale of two decades for Ford. Its early track triumphs faded into the rearview mirror as the '80s loomed. Fed up with pouring cash into racing for dwindling returns, Ford did the unthinkable... and might have gotten away with it were it not for a band of die-hard Ford employees.
  
• Working in secret, they risked it all to ensure the Blue Oval would still face off against Holden on the track, sparking what may be the greatest underdog story in Australian sporting history.
