1970 Ford Falcon XW GT Tribute & Replicas

This Ford Falcon is a handsome Tribute of the GT performance four-door sedan, presented in very good overall condition. It is now powered by a 5.7-litre (351 ci.) V8, which sends power to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The odometer displays 84,329 miles. Built in the Broadmeadows factory in 1970, this example started life as an ‘XW’-generation Falcon 500 Sedan, but has since been mechanical and cosmetically modified as a tribute to the high-performance GT HO model. This car has now been with the seller for the last four years. This Falcon is finished in the period-correct hue of Nugget Gold over a black vinyl-trimmed interior with dark wood inlays. The exterior is characterised by black painted sills and rear spoiler, and a black stripe which follows the contour of the front wings and runs the length of the car, complete with ‘Super Roo’ decals. The bonnet is also accented with black stripes, and there is a horizontal black stripe at the rear It rides on a set of 14-inch chrome-plated wheels shod in Jetzon Revenger tyres on the rear axle, and Yokohama tyres on the front axle. The car now features ‘351’ high performance exterior badges to replicate the Falcon GT. The original stereo has been changed for an aftermarket Pioneer head unit which adds USB, auxiliary, and Android smartphone connectivity. The car will be accompanied by a selection of receipts and an uninstalled nine-inch differential. There is no impact damage present on the bodywork. The Nugget Gold paintwork is in generally very good condition, showing no discernible major blemishes, though the seller notes that there is some slight discolouration on the boot lid. Generally, it displays an even gloss on every panel. Inside, the cabin presents very well, with some light ‘patination’ on the seats and the driver touchpoints, which is in line with the car’s age and use. There are no known electrical or mechanical faults, and there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard. This Falcon’s latest service was carried out during 2021 by Streeting Automotive repairs and during 2020 by Auto Express, both were routine maintenance services. The seller notes that the brake lines and brakes have been replaced during their ownership, as well as the battery and the installation of a new electric fan system. This Ford Falcon XW is a handsome recreation of the performance-oriented GT sedan, which is presented to a very high standard throughout. Reported to be rust-free and in fine mechanical health, it would make a head-turning companion for weekend drives, and a handsome base for further upgrades should its new owner wish to build on its already impressive performance.
