The XB Falcon was the last - for a long time - to have a GT model (the muscle car version of the falcon) [my favorite body shape]

The 2 door/coupe/hardtop body was being discontinued and ford decided to sell the last few hundred in the updated XC model range as Cobras - as a sort of replacement for the GT

All were individually numbered, got the special paint job/interior and a v8 and were sold out shortly after being announced.
Not all of these Cobras were equal. They came with Cleveland motors 302 / 351 not sure if the 351s got the 4V heads

The variability of powertrain meant that they weren't generally as well accepted as being solid performace cars however, as Mike says, in the last few years they're resale has climbed dramatically

The Boss 302 in the new falcon cobras is so called becasue it produces 302kW - I recently read that after the announcement of the Cobra model (which is a GT falcon) every GT ordered was a Cobra version for some time.

But, they're pretty expensive and you have to committed when (as Mike said) the turbo 6s offer practially the same performance.
