Sydney car
The rarest of Phase 3's was produced as a special order for the Rothmans cigarette company in 1971. The Rothmans colour tint was later renamed to "Bold Blue" by the Ford motor company. The idea was to give the car away as a promotional prize. Upon its arrival, the managing director at the cigarette company decided to keep the vehicle and instead gave a way a Vermillion Fire XY GT. It remained with the company for several years and has changed hands on three ocassions since that time. Ordered with cloth insert seats, an 8 track cassette player and sunroof, the car is without doubt one of the rarest of Australian Muscle Cars and therefore of historic significance. The Phase 3 is remarkably original and has survived in excellent order. It features all original panels, trim, running gear and most importantly engine! We at AMCS have spent the past weeks getting the car running and roadworthy, given the number of years it spent in storage. The car has been certified with a NSW Blue Slip and ready to be registered! Can be driven and enjoyed as is, otherwise stored as an appreciating investment. Note Restored Rothmans backed Matich race car of the era, as colour reference.
