Description
KEY FACTS A highly customised and award-winning XT-generation Ford Falcon GT, presented in a unique specification following a reportedly extensive restoration. Now powered by a 5.0-litre naturally aspirated Windsor V8 engine, driving the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. First registered in Australia, where it has remained since new. The odometer indicates 53,386 miles, though this is not warranted. This Falcon has reportedly won multiple 'People's Choice' awards and a 'Best Restored' award at car shows, highlighting its exceptional custom build and presentation. Build year: 1968 EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES This XT-era Falcon GT is finished in Charcoal two-pack paint with twin black racing stripes featuring red accents, over an interior fully retrimmed in Italian red leather. It rides on 18-inch US Mag chromed alloy wheels, housing custom-made brakes with six-piston callipers at the front and four-piston callipers at the rear, fitted with Pirelli P Zero tyres. Equipment now includes a reconditioned AU Ford 302ci Windsor V8 engine running a mild cam and four Weber IDA carburettors, a 2.5-inch stainless steel twin-exit exhaust system, an XB GT 351ci V8 single rail four-speed gearbox, a correct Mustang 8.75 3.0/1.0 differential, XF power steering, and a 2-inch drop spindle front suspension with Koni shocks. Other modifications include a new dash pad, custom front seats, a Momo steering wheel, a custom transmission tunnel, an Auto Meter analogue clock, a full repaint to a sandblasted shell with two-pack paint flow-coated, new front and rear windows with all new rubber seals, new door skins, and a new bonnet. Most stainless and chrome trim has been painted two-pack matte black. Accompanied by a copy of build photos, a professional show display board, a Falcon GT car cover, and two keys.
