1971 Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase III - Monza Green
We are delighted to offer for sale a genuine 1971 XY Falcon GTHO Phase III - Build No.47/300. Available for your inspection in our Sydney Showroom.
According to the ACCHS report, this GT-HO is one of only 23 GTHOs painted in Monza Green and is one of four built with the specific options selected.
The recently published 1971 XY Falcon GTHO Register notes that this genuine Monza Green XY GTHO was originally sold through Byrne Ford, Chermside in Brisbane. As with many such desirable muscle cars, this GT-HO was stolen in the late 1970s and the thieves tried to disguise the identity of the car by tampering with the shock tower VIN number. Thankfully, the GT-HO was recovered. The original owner advertised the Phase 3 for sale in the Sydney Morning Herald in 1978 and sold the car to a Victorian owner with just 5,984 miles on the clock. At this stage, the Victorian Police gave the car a VP number in 1979. Moving through several well known GT-HO collector owners over the years, the GT-HO has recently been forensically authenticated and the HO is supplied with a full ICAARS report authenticating the vehicle as genuine and also a letter from the Victorian Police confirming that the HO wears its original VIN number.
Build No.47 is an important XY-HO. This GT-HO is one of the first 50 HOs built and these 50 cars were used by Ford to gain CAMS Homologation approval for the Bathurst race cars. Because these HOs had to be built exactly to the same specifications as the race cars, this GT-HO features the same running gear as Ford's race cars. Importantly, Build No. 47 still features the original matching numbers 351 Cleveland engine with the factory X marking on the engine block. It also retains all its important GTHO race gear, from the HO Rev Limiter, Brake proportioning valve, Vacuum tank, the close ratio Top Loader gearbox, heavy duty HO tail shaft and the race spec Daytona Limited Slip nodular iron 31 spline 3.5:1 9" diff.
Along with the original factory running gear, this GT-HO features the all original factory interior except for a retrim to the two front seats. The dash, crash pad, console, steering wheel, rear seat, door cards and rear carpets are all original items.
In the ownership of the current owner since 1998, XY GTHO Build No. 47 was used as a family daily driver by the current owner. The GT-HO has been all through Queensland, South Australia and New South Wales and was used as a wedding car for the owners daughter in 2022. Repainted in 2006 with receipt attached in the photo gallery, the GT-HO has also had an engine rebuild by Gasoline Garage in Leeton, NSW in 2022, plus a rebuild to the Top loader and diff. The car also had an overhaul to the suspension and brakes. The original sump, extractors and other items replaced will come with the GT-HO. Build No. 47 is showing 110,576 miles on the odometer which is believed to be genuine given the ownership documentation trail supplied with the car.
Just back from the detailer, this GT-HO absolutely glows. Now ready for its next custodian, this GT-HO is for the collector who wants to actually drive a real Phase 3 in the manner that Ford designed it to be used.
This is an awesome Phase 3 that looks and sounds tough and drives like a Phase 3 should. Priced at a fraction of the cost of a perfect GT-HO, this is one of the 300 genuine GT-HOs built and a car that ranks in Australia and New Zealand as the most coveted Aussie Muscle car. Now for sale and ready to be enjoyed by the next lucky owner.
