Enter the XA Ford Falcon GS Hardtop, finished in its original Cosmic Blue paint and looking every bit the stunner it was back in the day. It’s not every day you find one in this condition—minimal rust, original Parchment trim still intact, and a sweet-running factory 302 V8 under the hood. Aside from a set of extractors and a 3-inch exhaust for that signature rumble, it’s largely untouched. Just the way Gino likes it.

But what makes this coupe really stand out is its story. This car’s done the hard yards—literally. It once toured the Aussie countryside towing a caravan, before ending up in a second-hand yard where it was picked up for next to nothing. Then it spent years tucked away on a farm, rarely driven but lovingly stored. Now it’s landed in the hands of someone who truly understands its value—not just in dollars, but in history and heart.

While Gino’s got a few tweaks in mind, he’s made the call to leave this one as-is for now. No full resto, no wild mods. He’s keeping it as a saviour car—a time capsule of Aussie muscle, preserved for the next generation.

Oh, and just when you thought he was slowing down… think again. Gino’s just picked up an ultra-rare XA Ford GT, which we’ll be revealing in an upcoming episode. You won’t want to miss that one!

Hit the video to hear the full yarn straight from Gino himself, and make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss what he does next. You know as well as we do—he might just sell it tomorrow!

Then we have a look at Cass’s XC Ford Falcon GXL or “a hamburger with the lot” as Rob called it. It has a factory sunroof 351 engine, its a factory 9 inch tramp rod car and it was there family car back in the day. This is when we entered the GM section, Rob has an interest in all cars not just Fords so he shows us his 57 Chevy, HX Holden Sandman tribute and a 1967 Chevy Camaro SS . There is also a Holden Monaro there but we will talk to Cass about that later. After that, its the Hot Rod collection.

We start with an Model A Roadster that he bought with his dad, it has a really nice old school rod feel to it. There is also a 41 Willies that is being done to be a nostalgic drag car with a 454 big block. then there’s a 1940 Ford Truck that he has put on a late 70’s Hilux chassis, its been set up for a small block Chev and turbo 400. And the last thing inside is his F100 shop truck that is way to nice to use as a shop truck. Then we hit the yard. there is some interesting things out there. Like a XY with flared guards, grafted Mustang rear end Mustang cut outs in the sides, XB dash graft and heaps of other mods. Just a stripped shell now it used to be a show car in the 70’s or 80’s.

There is also a genuine XW Ford Falcon GT with its tags. It was filled end for end back in the day and then was stripped. But Rob is thinking about weather it can be brought back to life. There is also various cars for sale. This really was an awesome collection of cars and memorabilia.

We ended up spending all day there. We hope you enjoy this instalment of Cleveland Spares. There is one more to go where we check out a couple of coups. Thanks for watching.
