THE STORY
Launched in 1967, the Ford Falcon XR GT heralded the dawn of the Australian muscle car. As the first of its kind, the XR GT combined raw power with refined style, becoming an instant classic and a cornerstone of Ford's motorsport legacy.
Visually, the XR GT showcased a muscular yet elegant design, with aggressive styling elements that hinted at its performance capabilities. The wide stance, bold grille, and signature racing stripes emphasized its high-performance nature. Inside, the XR GT offered a driver-focused cockpit, with bucket seats, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a layout designed for performance enthusiasts.
Under the hood, the XR GT was equipped with the legendary 4.7L (289ci) Windsor V8 engine, sourced from the Ford Mustang. This engine was paired with specially tuned suspension, ensuring an exciting driving experience without compromising on comfort or stability.
On the road, the car was a revelation, providing a thrilling balance of power and handling that set it apart from its competitors. On the track, the XR GT is credited as the first ever ‘Bathurst 500/1000’ won by a V8-powered car. Prior to 1967, the Mount Panorama Circuit had been regarded as too tough for larger V8 vehicles and had remained the domain of smaller cars.
Almost all the original XR GTs were painted in the colour ‘GT Gold’.
The Ford XR GT didn’t just represent a new model; it embodied a new era for performance cars in Australia. Its success on the racetrack and its growing popularity with enthusiasts solidified its place in history as one of the most influential cars of the era. The XR GT remains a symbol of Ford's commitment to performance, engineering excellence, and timeless design.
THE CAR
This absolutely stunning 1967 Ford Falcon XR GT was manufactured at the Ford Motor Company factory in Broadmeadows, Victoria.
Finished in correct GT Gold paint, this car sports a Charcoal Grey trim and according to a Deluxe ACCHS Report (Heritage Certificate) is one of only 670 with this paint and trim combination.
At some point long in the past, this vehicle was rebodied - as was the practice for a vehicle with panel rust issues at the time.
In addition to the new metal, the engine bay was repainted and restored, all chrome and stainless steel was professionally polished and restored, the bumpers were polished and refurbished, and the car had a full re-spray by professional body painters. The paint job is only 2 years old.
The car has also undergone significant works throughout. The suspension has new springs, shock absorbers and steering joints, and the front end has been reconditioned with all new bushes.
The brakes have been renewed in the front and rear with new brake lines, a new brake booster, master cylinder and wheel bearings. A new clutch has been fitted, along with an alloy bell housing and new master and slave cylinders. The radiator has been re-cored and new hoses, a new thermostat and a new temperature sensor has been installed as well. The transmission has been re-conditioned with new linkages, a new shifter mechanism and hump.
Inside the engine bay, the alternator has been refreshed with new wiring and she retains her original 4-speed top loader gearbox, limited-slip differential, Autolite carburettor and button-top Carter fuel pump. The distributor is new and is fitted with a Pertronix electronic upgrade.
There are new rocker covers, a new air cleaner and element, and a new exhaust and exhaust manifolds. The car sports roller rockers and a mild cam and the engine is very strong and responsive.
The interior has had the dash re-chromed and professionally restored, with new wiring. The seats have been rebolstered and have new springs, and the roof headlining has been replaced along with the carpet and floormats. Period correct seat belts have been installed as well. All new door rubbers and seals have been fitted and there is a new steering wheel, indicator switch, and AM/FM radio.
In the boot, new carpet has been installed and she retains her original jack.
Your chance to own an iconic piece of Australian history in excellent condition.
