Stunning fully restored XA GT Falcon in Polar White with W2 trim running the matching numbers 4V 351 Cleveland and a 4 speed Top Loader gearbox. A quality GT for sale from Port Pirie, South Australia. 

For the first time, Australia was designing cars from scratch right here. The designers moved away from the brick like design of the XR through XY range to a more aerodynamic "Coke bottle" design, a new wrap around cockpit style dash and high backed bucket seats, NASA air scoops on the bonnet and vertical air vents between the front edge of the fender and the front wheel arch. Gone were the boy racer Super roo stripes and the shaker. Here was a more mature GT.

Mechanically, the standard XA GT retained the Cleveland 4V 351 cid V8, 4 speed Top Loader gearbox and traction lock 9" diff. With it's more aerodynamic body, the XA GT was in fact quicker than the XY GT predecessor and in the hands of Moffat/Geoghegan and Bartlett/Goss scored successive victories at Bathurst in 1973 and 1974.

For sale is an absolutely stunning XA GT delivered new by Maughan Thiem Ford, Cheltenham, South Australia. An August 1973 build and a ONE-OF-ONE in this exact combination, the GT was treated to a concours restoration in 2020. The body was stripped back to bare metal and given the full rotisserie treatment including the underbody, engine bay and boot with all chrome and stainless steel professionally plated and polished. All trim items, glass and rubbers were either refurbished or replaced while the wiper motor, starter motor and alternator were replaced with New Old Stock items.

The matching numbers super strong 351-cid V8 was rebuilt and the GT is running a 780 CFM Holley carburettor, a mild cam, Pacemaker extractors and an Electronic distributor. The GT has a reconditioned 16:1 steering box and the suspension and braking systems have been fully reconditioned. The gearbox has brand new linkages and a new clutch has been installed. The brake system was overhauled with all new lines, rotors, pads and wheel bearings and a new FOMOCO radiator fitted. The original FMX gearbox will be supplied with the sale. An extensive list of works and receipts for all mechanicals is supplied. The GT is showing 50,499 miles.

According to the Ford Verification letter, this XA GT is one of 1,868 built, one of 806 with the same transmission, one of 49 with the Polar White paint, one of 6 with the W2 trim and One of One with the exact build. 

According to the Ford Verification letter, the GT was factory optioned with Tutone bonnet, Radio/Tape Player and front spoiler. But it is how this car presents in the flesh that really impresses. The attention to detail is second to none and whether you are buying a GT to drive and enjoy or as a show car, then this is a well sorted and presented example that will certainly satisfy the most fastidious buyer.

The GT is riding on the original 14" 12 slot rims with new Colstar 205/70/14 tyres. A second bonus set of 15" Globes with GT centres with 235/60R15 Nankangs front and 245/60R15 Nankangs on the rear.

This is a must inspect for the XA GT enthusiast.
