For sale from our Sydney Showroom is this 1969 XW GTHO Phase 1 in Grecian Gold with Black trim. 

Believed to have been professionally reshelled many years ago, this rare and desirable GTHO features the original running gear including the matching numbers 351 4V Windsor, factory top loader gearbox, GT tailshaft and Daytona LSD 9".

According to the XW GT-HO Phase 1 Register, expertly complied by GT Historian Ross Vasse, this particular GT-HO is Build Number 26 of the 260 Phase 1 GT-HOs built by Ford. This GT-HO is one of 35 painted in Grecian Gold, one of 31 with the black interior and one of 11 with the exact build specification. 

Originally sold through Rowell Thiele Ford in Camperdown, NSW, the GT-HO is running the fully rebuilt matching numbers Windsor 351 and the wide ratio Top Loader gearbox. The compliance plate, radiator support and shock tower stampings are all there. And the GT-HO features genuine 12 slotter rims, good tyres, excellent crash pad and hood lining, a 36 gallon tank, a new rubber boot mat and a 12 Slotter spare with factory jack and tools.

With specs including the fully refurbished matching numbers 351 4V Windsor, 780cfm Vacuum Secondary Holley carburettor, hydraulic valve lifters, revised camshaft, heavy duty alternator, alloy inlet manifold, a three-inch heavy duty tail shaft, heavier front roll bar, beefed-up coils, stiffer shocks and a new rear roll bar and 300hp running to the ground through the four-speed top-loader gearbox and a nine-inch diff the Phase 1 GTHO Falcon was nothing if not a full on race car. 

To qualify for racing CAMS required the manufacturer to build a minimum number of these cars to be sold to the public as road registered vehicles. As most were not bought by Mums and Dads to do the weekly shopping or to cart the family, most Phase 1s led a less than charmed existence. 

Of course some have survived intact. Others, have had to be rescued from years of "enthusiastic driving". With perfect Phase 1s now selling for in excess of $350,000 the opportunity to buy a less perfect example that can be driven the way Ford designed them to be driven is quite tempting. 

This is an excellent rust and damage free body with new acrylic paint from Adelaide Hills Panel Works in Nairne, SA in 2014, new Black seat coverings with genuine door cards, console, dash and crash pad, instruments and steering wheel. The carpets and hoodlining have been renewed. 

Full ownership history is known. Current 70+ year old owner is now ready to pass the GT-HO on to the next custodian. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a Falcon GT-HO at the price of a Replica. Certainly a piece of Ford motoring history and a car that you can feel relaxed owning and driving.

For sale from our Sydney Showroom.  (Ref: 6677)
