A very well-preserved example of the Ford FPV (Ford Performance Vehicles) GT-P, an uprated version of Ford Australia’s Falcon (BA), which was produced in collaboration with Prodrive. Power comes from a 5.4-litre modular ‘Boss 290’ V8 with DOHC four-valve cylinder heads from the Mustang Cobra R engine, producing 290kW (390hp) and 520Nm (380lb-ft) of torque, coupled to a five-speed manual transmission. Originally sold in July 2004 via Bayford Group, this example has now been with its third owner, a car dealer in Wangara, Western Australia, for around eight months. The odometer indicates 77,244 km. The Falcon GT lineage includes many Bathurst wins and motorsport accolades over its entire production run, and the model is deeply linked with both the history of Australian sports sedan car production and the evolution of Australian motor racing. The FPV GT-P is an uprated version of the GT, with an eye-catching bodykit. This example is finished in Blood Orange with black decals, over a black leather and Alcantara-trimmed interior with contrast red stitching and GT-P lettering on the head restraints. It rides on a set of 18-inch seven-spoke wheels, housing dark red Brembo brake callipers and shod with Dunlop SP Sport 9000 tyres. Equipment includes electric windows and mirrors, a multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, dual-zone climate control, a CD stereo, a trip computer and average speed checker, an analogue clock, and a Webasto sunroof. Accompanying the vehicle will be its original handbooks, service book and sales brochures, along with a spare wheel. Its paintwork is reported to be in excellent condition, with a scuff on the driver’s side sill, and very light imperfections on the mirror caps and door handles. Inside, save for minor age-related creasing and wear on the driver’s seat outer bolsters, the cabin presents very well. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults. Its most recent service was in April 2023 at 77,245 km, which consisted of engine oil and oil filter changes.
