1972 Ford Falcon XA

This June 1972-built Ford Falcon XA GT is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.8 litre 351ci Cleveland V8, paired with a three-speed FMX automatic transmission driving the rear wheels through a nine-inch differential. Featuring a factory-optioned sunroof and power windows, it has been retained by its current owner for 14 years and is accompanied by a Ford verification letter and an ACCHS report identifying it as one of one with its recorded build specification. The odometer currently shows 85,704 miles* indicated, with the true mileage unknown. Introduced in March 1972, the XA represented the first wholly Australian-designed Falcon, bringing more rounded bodywork and a redesigned interior. The GT continued as Ford’s V8 performance flagship, with the range expanding to include both sedan and hardtop body styles. Finished in Ultra White with black vinyl trim, this example retains the colour combination recorded in its accompanying production documentation. Exterior features include contrasting black bonnet and lower-body detailing, chrome bumpers, date-correct Globe wheels with redwall tyres, and front and rear spoilers. The interior features front bucket seats, a centre console with a T-bar automatic selector, a three-spoke steering wheel and GT instrumentation. The ACCHS report records factory equipment including a windback sunroof, power steering, power windows, a laminated windscreen with tinted band, the Protection Pack, a black bonnet and a radio/eight-track player. The Ford verification letter confirms that the vehicle was originally built in June 1972 as a Falcon GT sedan with a 351ci four-barrel V8 and automatic transmission. The accompanying ACCHS report identifies its particular combination of drivetrain, paint, trim and options as a one-of-one build specification. Originally sold through Southern Motors in Tasmania, the car subsequently spent time in New South Wales before moving to Victoria. The seller purchased it through Prestige Motor Gallery approximately 14 years ago and has retained it in Melbourne since. The number of previous owners is unknown. Servicing during the current ownership has been undertaken by an independent mechanic, with the most recent full service completed in September 2026. The seller describes the car as unrestored and reports no major mechanical work during their ownership. They advise that no current mechanical faults or outstanding work are known. The exterior has age-related marks and wear consistent with its unrestored presentation, while the interior and trim are described as being in very good condition for their age. The dashboard clock has stopped working; the remaining equipment is reported to function. No accidents or resprays are reported during the seller’s ownership. Included with the sale are the Ford verification letter, ACCHS report, receipts, spare keys, a spare tyre mounted on a 12-slot wheel, and a Bluetooth radio with a dummy fascia. The car’s original service books are unavailable, although separately sourced period books accompany the vehicle. As per Trading Garage Terms and Conditions, although Trading Garage has completed the following checks bidders must satisfy themselves to the accuracy of the description and do any research they feel necessary before bidding.
