Remember when Tommy surprised his parents by restoring their 45-year-old Ford XA Superbird? Oh, what a moment that was! For us, cars aren’t just metal and engines; they’re memory capsules, taking us back to places we loved and times we cherish. That lime-green Ford Falcon XA Superbird that Tommy’s dad bought in 1973 was more than a car; it was a family member.
Ah, 1973! Disco fever was just starting to catch on, and bell-bottoms were the thing. Can’t you just hear the sizzle of vinyl records as you drop the needle on your favorite album? It was a time when Saturday mornings meant cartoons and sugar-loaded cereal. Imagine Tommy’s dad cruising down Melbourne’s roads with the windows down, the fresh air mingling with the faint scent of leather seats.
Now let’s get cozy and dive into Tommy’s journey. His father bought that Superbird in ’73 as his first car, and it soon became the family’s trusty steed. It took them to school, family events, shopping trips—you name it. Even after an unfortunate tumble into a ditch rendered it unusable, the car sat on their farm, a silent but constant reminder of happier times.

That car was like a playground for young Tommy. One of his favorite memories was sitting on his mom’s lap, hands gripping the large steering wheel as they navigated the lengthy driveway of their farm. The Superbird wasn’t just an object; it was an emotional treasure chest filled with moments like these.
But years flew by like pages of a flipbook, and the Ford XA Superbird sat untouched. Tommy had to wait for the right time and resources to start the restoration, but his devotion never waned. And one day in 2013, Tommy knew that if he didn’t start the project soon, there would be nothing left to restore.
Unlike your typical restorer, Tommy wasn’t an expert mechanic or a detailing whiz. He played the role of the loving son and passionate project manager. Thanks to social media and car forums, he connected with like-minded enthusiasts who helped him source those elusive parts for the car. And after years of meticulous planning and piecing the car back together, the Superbird was reborn.
When his parents saw the restored Ford XA Superbird, their faces lit up like the summer sky on the Fourth of July. It was as if time had folded onto itself, and they were back in their youthful days. No words were needed—the sheer happiness and mutual respect between Tommy and his parents spoke volumes.
