That could be either a '67 Bel Air or Impala.

It's an Aussie-assembled model and the models offered were very limited compared to the US. So I assume Bel Air at the moment. I might search for the differences later tonight.
I can confirm that the Chevy in the film clip is a 67 Impala. The Bel Air of that model has a thin chrome strip running through the middle of the side, while the Impala has a thick strip along the side positioned lower.

The Chevy in the clip seen here has the Impala chrome strip.

How could you tell what music clip it was from just by seeing a photo of the car?

MrZ are you putting together a collection of Fords that have appeared on Australian TV or something?

Even more embarrasing would be the lower spec variants of the VF in HSV's stable getting whopped by a factory XR8.

Not just Fords, but everything. It's for the internet car movie database:

That's a lot of work!
The movie Chopper, Neville Bartos has a couple of nice Australian muscle cars in his garage I think in one of the scenes, but I can't think what they are as I've only seen the movie once.

It could also be a BF. What movie is the shot of the car from? I may have the movie (or someone else on the forum may have the movie) and they could identify it if they have seen the whole movie.

I happened to have seen that film clip before and that bashed up Chevy caught my attention.

There is an XB GT sedan, and in true wog fashion.. a Charger!

'Two Hands' with Heath Ledger has a great assortment of Aussie Muscle in it, so might be worth a look.
Bit of trivia, Merrick Watts of Merrick and Rosso fame bought the GT Falcon that features quite prominently in the film.

It's just a background car from the TV movie "The Society Murders" (aired in 2006). It appears for literally 1 second.

Indeed - I recently uploaded to that site HD shots from that movie (taken from the Blu-ray).

Only thing that might give away that its FPV is the rear wing in that pic. It looks a little high for XR8 wing, most likely FPV wing... could be wrong though...

I would just list it on IMCDb as a "Ford Falcon". No need for an exact model name. The way that it's been customised could mean it's just an XR8.
