Specifications:

We all know there was only ever one true Phase IV GTHO - and none of us are ever going to get a chance to own it. But heres an RPO83 that really does represent what a normal Phase IV in basic form would have been had they ever reached production - and it came that way in 1973.

And it is not one of those race-modified 72 XA GTs that people like to call a Phase IV.

Genuine RPO83 with Ford Vehicle History Extract, Ford verification letter, previous owner correspondence, full photo history, written independent Valuations (old), written proof of relationship to actual race cars of 1973.

Original matching solid 4V engine, D1ZX rods, 4-bolt mains, 31-spline box, 31-spline nodular diff, Phase IV sump, clutch line, radiator, fan, carburettor, extractors, dual-point distributor, etc. 42-gallon race tank (originally had large tank, but went missing). Also had roll-cage, but owner elected to not put it in during restoration.

XA GT Serial No. 13741K - Fred Gibson. Works race car. Lost in action.

XA GT Serial No. 13742K - Alan Moffat. Works race car. Lost in action.

XA GT Serial No. 13743K - This car. Privately owned. Still alive.

(This goes a long way to explaining how and why this car has this running gear).

Totally restored in late 90s and re-registered in 2001 with 23,800 miles on clock. Has been driven for 2,700 miles since then on non-original engine, but now has fully rebuilt original engine re-fitted and done approx 300 miles. Current mileage 26,800 miles - original. Only reproduction parts on the whole car are the door rubbers.

All race livery stickers are easily removed if required.
