Solid Gold Ford Muscle. Now for sale from our Sydney Showroom. A 1967 XR GT Falcon. Undoubtedly the original and to many the best GT Falcon. Certainly the car that started the Muscle Car story in Australia. A car that is entwined in Australian racing folk law and associated with many of Australia's greatest racers including Harry Firth, Ian and Pete Geoghegan, Bob Jane, Fred Gibson, Bo Seaton, Alan Hamilton and Bob Morris just to name a few.
Created originally to meet the demand for a V8 Police pursuit car, Bill Bourke, the then MD of Ford Australia saw the opportunity to attract a younger performance focused buyer and along with Ford design guru Jack Telnack combined the luxury of the Fairmont sedan with the Mustang bred 289 V8, GT badging, side stripes, chrome wheels and GT steering wheel and created a legend!
This is one of the 596 XR GT Falcons built. A maintained XR GT Falcon, it has had a repaint in the factory GT Gold. Chrome, stainless and glass are in good condition and the GT is running the High Performance 225 Hp 289 cid Windsor V8 which although 16 numbers apart from the chassis number has been in the car since new. The XR retains the original 4 speed all synchromesh Hurst floor shift top loader gearbox and the 8 3/4" 2.93: 1 ratio rear end. The GT is running a 600CFM Holley 4 Barrel carburettor with factory manifold and aftermarket dual exhaust.
The Charcoal interior is original condition except for the base of the front seats while the rear seat still features the original covering. The dash, hood lining, rear carpet and door cards are all original and the Stewart-Warner instruments are original and operational.
The XR GT is a must have Ford for the GT enthusiast and collector. A car that can be proudly shown, reliably driven and definitely a gold class investment in some wonderful pure bred Aussie muscle.
Located in our Sydney Showroom for your inspection. (Ref. 6491)
If you wish we will gladly arrange a video tour of the car using WhatsApp and of course there is no issue with door to door enclosed transport anywhere in Australia or New Zealand.
