High, wide and handsome pretty much sums up the XY series of Ford Falcons, widely seen as the pick of the early ‘square-rigger’ generations.
While everyone likes to bang on about the premium GT-HO version, in reality a GT represents better bang for the buck as a driving car.
In an online feature on this series we noted: “Built in far greater numbers (1557), was the GT, which started production earlier and shared much of the HO’s basic spec. Yes the differences were significant – engine prep and transmission spec, to name a couple – but the big 351 Cleveland, the legendary shaker air scoop and those rugged good looks were still there.”
What makes this car exceptional is the claim by the seller that it has under 37,000 miles on the clock and is in untouched, unrestored condition – in other words, original.
Located in Wodonga, on the Vic/NSW border, it’s on the market at $375,000.
