1970 XW GT Falcon (SOLD)

The XW GT has Bill Bourke written all over it. Lurking under his charismatic personality and slick backed hair beat the high octane heart of a hot rodder. Bourke transformed the conservative and somewhat unreliable Falcons of the early to mid 1960s into the reliable race winning Falcons of the late 60s and 1970s.

And nothing spelled Bill Bourke more than the XW GT Falcon. With it's bright colours, bold Super Roo stripping, big 351 Cleveland V8 horsepower, bullet proof running gear and huge options list, Bourke was onto a winner!

2,287 XW GTs were sold by Ford. Nearly 3,000 if you add in the GTHOs. And Diamond White proved particularly popular with the buyers. The bonnet black outs, gold side stripping, chrome and metal badges, bonnet air intake and bonnet locking pins all adding to the masculine image of this high performance sports sedan.
