This XY-generation Ford Falcon is an attention-grabbing tribute to the legendary GT-HO performance sedan, offered with three owners from new and a supported by a strong maintenance history. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 351ci (5.8-litre) Cleveland V8, producing around 250bhp and driving the rear wheels via a four-speed ‘Toploader’ manual transmission. The car is believed to have had three owners from new, and the odometer shows 7,382 Kms, however this is not warranted. This Falcon is finished in the eye-catching shade of Yellow Glow with matte black racing stripes on the bonnet, as well as a matte black rear spoiler and rear light panel, with gloss black ‘351 GT’ side stripes complete with ‘Super Roo’ decals. Inside, the interior is presented with black vinyl upholstery, punctuated by wood veneer inlays and chrome trim accents. It rides on a set of 14-inch steel wheels with chrome lips and hub caps, shod with BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial Redline tyres. The factory specification includes a wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel, heater and ventilation controls, a Ford-branded radio, an analogue clock, push-out front quarter light windows, and electric windscreen wipers. This Falcon now features a number of upgrades to replicate the GT-HO, including two front spotlights, a front chin spoiler, a rear spoiler, a ‘351 high-performance’ interior badge, a GT-HO dashboard decal, and a ‘shaker’ air intake. It will be supplied with maintenance and parts invoices dating back to 2012, and a ‘Car history’ print-out. The Yellow Glow paintwork is reported to be in good overall condition given the car’s age, though at the rear right side the boot trim lines do not quite marry up.. Inside, the cabin is presented in great shape. There are minor blemishes on the steering wheel trim, slight wrinkles on the transmission tunnel’s chrome trim surround, minor damage on the GT-HO decal, and some signs of use on the seats, but no wear or discolouration. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults. The car’s last Rego test was conducted in January 2022, and was recorded as a clean pass. This Falcon’s most recent maintenance was carried out in March 2022 at an indicated 4,998 Kms by N&G Mechanical, which consisted of installing a reconditioned brake master cylinder and brake booster, as well as a new R&R fuel sender unit, the brakes and booster bled, and a carburettor adjustment. A new rocker cover with a new bolt kit was fitted, alongside new radiator mounts and insulators in December 2018 with parts supplied by Superoo Falcon Spares. This XY-generation Ford Falcon is an eye-catching tribute to the highly desirable GT-HO performance four-door sedan, offered with three owners from new and supported a strong recent maintenance history. With an attention-grabbing colour scheme and imposing styling, backed up by a thunderous Cleveland V8 engine, it would make a fine addition to any assembly of classic Australian muscle cars, and an exciting companion for weekend drives and car show visits alike.
