1972 Ford Falcon XA GT 4 speed - Red Pepper
Now for sale is this fully restored early build XA GT Sedan in the stunning hero colour of Red Pepper with Black trim and featuring the matching numbers 351 4V Cleveland motor and 4 speed Top Loader gearbox. Located for your inspection in our Sydney Showroom.
At the time, the XA Falcon was renowned as the first all Australian designed Falcon, and the first Falcon GT to include both a 4 door sedan and a hardtop version. It was a huge milestone event in the history of Ford in Australia, and following the Bathurst success of the GTHO's in '70 and '71, the XA went on to achieve victories at Mt Panorama again in '73 and '74. They were very good years for Ford and their fans.
For the first time Ford was designing cars from scratch here in Australia. The designers moved away from the not too subtle brick box like design of the XR through XY range and moved to the more aerodynamic flowing ''Coke bottle" body design with a new wrap around cockpit style dash and high backed bucket seats.
The GT's received NACA style air scoops on the bonnet, attractive black out highlights, driving lights mounted in the grill, and unique vertical vents in the front guards. Gone were the Super Roo stripes and the ''XY only'' bonnet shaker. The XA GT was now a more mature streamlined GT.
We are pleased to offer this outstanding all numbers matching Red Pepper manual XA GT for sale. According to the ACCHS Report, this GT is one of 1,062 4 speed manual XA GTs built, one of 320 in Red Pepper, one of 193 with the Black trim combo and an unique 1 of 1 build with the options fitted.
Delivered new from Hillis Ford of Wagga Wagga, NSW the car stayed in the original ownership until 2006 when it was sold to a Sydney collector owner. This owner bare metal restored this rust free XA in 2013 and the meticulous restoration was finally completed in 2021. The owner rebuilt the all numbers matching original D block 351 4V Cleveland V8, 4 speed Top Loader manual gearbox and 3.25:1 9" diff.
