These were the fastest road legal car of their time. Still a small block by US terms but out of the box put out big block power. They reputedly had 100 BHP more than spec at the rear wheels. These cars were basically built for one race the Bathurst 500 which manufacturers needed to build 200 identical spec road registered example to pass homologation for our US friends. They then ran in a year long series called the Australian Turing car series. We also used to run them in a series called the Toby lee series at Oran park south of Sydney under lights at night. The most fantastic racing you have ever seen, and the track was jam packed with fans cheering on their favourite brand. The Torana XU1 a two door coupe with a big straight six that weighed in at approx half the weight of the big HO and the Chrysler Charger e49, again a big Hemi 6 running triple Webber carbs. They were the great days of Australian touring cars. This was an exceptional replica thanks for sharing.

Sounds great.. from Kentucky! my Australian brothers got muscle

GT-HO or Replica, doesn't matter it gets respect.

I love the sound and torque of those old Fords.

What an amazing machine. Sounds great

Cool as bro ❤️❤️❤️

GT HO owners have a lot of friends .....everyone knows some one who has one...... like said before only 300 made but 30 000 still exist some how ..... nothing beats the sound and pleasure of driving a GT Ford ...any of them

Great machine.Still my favourite car ever

The guy who rebuilt this is a great Australian.

love at first sight

I really love these cars but I would love them more if they were two door hardtops too!!!

Beautiful car!!!!!

Absolutely stunning FALCON. I wouldn't change a thing. All u need is money. Buckets of it 😢😮😂❤

Wow! Yes please 🙏🙏🙏

Buying a lottery ticket tomorrow

That's mint!

Excellent

When cars were cars, not the rice ers we have now days

gorgeous, very jealous

Nice car.

Where are all the repo parts made?

I seriously can not believe the price tag of replicas????? Insane.... Albeit a very nice car....

If i only knew back in it's days. i had one but they were worth nothing. sold it for 7g's did plenty of them trim wise did my apprentice ship in 75. know them in side and out.

how on earth does he keep finding them

Only 8 XY GT's were ever built in black, 7 were autos, and one manual. Only one black Phase 3 was ever built which is a manual for a total of 9 genuine GT's in black, most which survive. I like the black with the white trim combination on this vehicle.

DOES IT COME WITH GENUINE RIM'S ?

Very nice but ridiculous how expensive a mock up is now.

Just seen this , And what did it sell for in the end ................

Wow wee

Sweet as 👌

Now has 40 miles on the clock

Crazy how different muscle cars are in Australia

😎🏆🥇🏆😎

💯👌🇦🇺🏁

My father had the Fairmont model purple with white interior he used to wash it with kerosene mixed with water the paint never faded. It looked like it out of the Ford show room. Then a millennial snow flak P plate ran into it wrote it off

Most replicated car in Australia the XY Falcon 500 to GT. This is a very nice XY Falcon sedan and the white interior is an unusual choice for a replica (the most common XY variant today) but I like it over the usual black interior.

Beverley hills nsw👌

Here is a story. There were 2 XY GTHOs bought in Mildura Vic new. One by Bill Fisher and i forget the other guys name. Anyhow Billys car is the white one that was the first $mill HO sold i am told. Anyhoo the story is that both owners were sent an update exhaust to replace what i think was a louder (nice) stainless system with a choked up steel system. Billys car was famous for rattling the shop windows in Langtree ave Mildura, he also stated jokingly that compared to his Jag sports car of the day, he could get the crows with this one (of course you cant in reality). Billy neglected to fit the "update" exhaust and the other guy was probably shattered with his. I also remember Billy sold his car in i think the late 80s for 25K to a store manager of one of his Supermarkets. Bill Fishers HO remains the most famous car ever in Mildura. One last thing, a friend that worked for Billy used the car in his wedding along with a GT and i think a couple of mock ups. Word is none of them could run with the legend.

Recommend Best Late Car - FORD FALCON" 1971" (Replica) , ..... God Bless All, ...... Cheerio.🌠☁️🚗☁️🌠💐💐💐🌠👍👍👍🌠🌠🌟🌠🌠.

How much is the GT

5k ??

Two of my mates had them, they were $4000 new.

They never came out with seat belts in the back

Price?

Owmuchizit?

$155k nice car but lots of money

20.000 of them in Sydney alone..in every assorted color 🤣🤣🤣

BUT REPLICA 🥰🥰OH NO🥰🥰

Come back when you get a genuine car. Replicas are so everyday!

Were it genuine, brand new it was only worth $ 5,000. Now the same value as a good low mileage Aston Martin, without air conditioning and no power steering???

Itd be nerve wracking driving thiis jewel in suburban /city traffic. Too many Karens in their Toyota Landcruisers waiting to jump out and sideswipe ya. Anything is fair game to a Karen, specially when she’s taken a couple of Mogadons and she’s off to pick the kids up from school three quarts of an hour late.

no technology and it drives

E

To many doors

F

Too bad it has 4 doors

Fake faze 3 20k

lol....a 4-door. That car would be stripped of its drivetrain and crushed if it were in the United States. If I live 1000 years I will never come to understand Australians’ obsession with four-door cars.
