Available for purchase is arguably one of the finest XY GT Falcon Tributes we have ever encountered. This stunning Vermilion Fire GT is currently being offered at our Sydney showroom.

Before embarking on the construction of his dream car, the owner set out to find an original XY Fairmont that was free from rust and had never been involved in any accidents. His dream materialised when a genuine logbook XY became accessible at Shannon’s Auction in 2005. After acquiring it, the vehicle remained untouched until 2012 when restoration efforts began. The aim was to create an exceptional Vermilion Fire XY GT Replica featuring a Golde sunroof, BK Race engine complete with authentic Ford components while minimising reproduction parts.

The meticulous rotisserie bare metal restoration was executed by the renowned Panel Worx Group in Sydney, celebrated for their superior craftsmanship and attention to detail. The XY showcases impeccable gapping throughout, along with a detailed engine bay, boot, and undercarriage — all of which are evident in the accompanying photos.

The Buyer understands there is no warranty or guarantee offered by either the Seller or AMCS.

If upon inspection the Buyer is not satisfied with the car for any reason and does not wish to proceed with the purchase the owner is advised and any personal details are deleted from AMCS records.

If the Buyer is satisfied with the car and a price is agreed to with the Seller a formal tax invoice is prepared by AMCS and sent to the Buyer for payment to the AMCS audited Trust Account.
