1972 Ford Falcon

KEY FACTS This XA-era Ford Falcon GT Sedan is a rare and potent classic Australian muscle car, presented in a striking factory colour scheme and benefiting from a significantly upgraded engine. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.8-litre (now stroked to 408ci) V8, now understood to develop up to 600hp, driving the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission. First registered in 1972, this example is currently registered in Australia. The odometer indicates 90,640 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1972 EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES This XA-era Falcon GT is finished in Calypso Green with a contrasting gloss-black bonnet, lower body panels and taillight panel, over a black vinyl-trimmed interior, punctuated by chrome and wood veneer trim. It rides on a set of 15-inch Bathurst Globe alloy wheels fitted with mixed redline tyres. Equipment includes power steering, air conditioning, a front chin spoiler, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a push-button radio, tinted side and rear windows, and power windows. The reportedly matching-numbers 351ci Cleveland V8 engine has been stroked to 408 ci and features a chrome AeroFlow air filter. Other notable upgrades include Speco Meter oil pressure and water temperature gauges, and a 31-spline 9-inch differential with a TrueTrac centre. Accompanied by one set of keys, the engine technical specification document, and a Deluxe ACCHS Report. CONDITION Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the body was painted approximately 25 years ago, and the paintwork shows a few chips and blemishes. SUMMARY The XA-era Ford Falcon GT Sedan is a revered icon of Australian muscle car heritage, celebrated for its robust performance and distinctive styling. This example has its 351ci V8, now stroked to 408ci and heavily modified for approximately 600hp, while retaining a factory-like appearance under the hood, and features a striking factory colour scheme.
