Vehicle Overview

1970 Ford Falcon GT.

The 1970 Ford Falcon XW GT remains one of the defining Australian performance cars of its era, combining a formal sports-sedan shape with the visual drama and mechanical substance expected of a genuine GT. Finished in F-117 Brambles Red with black trim, this example presents the classic XW formula in one of the model’s most recognisable colour combinations.

Its appearance is deliberately purposeful. Black bonnet treatment and side striping contrast strongly with the red bodywork, while the chunky chrome badges, bonnet air intake and locking pins give the car the unmistakable presence associated with Ford’s high-performance Falcons. Genuine five-slot wheels and red-walled Aquatread Sport ER70H14 tyres complete the period-correct stance. The spare wheel retains its original Aquajet tyre and sticker, and the boot includes factory tools and a new rubber mat.

Under the bonnet is the matching-numbers 351 Cleveland 4V, identified on the vehicle detail sheet as a T-code engine. The engine is described as fully rebuilt with its original date-matching components, including the crank, rods, pistons, carburettor, water pump, manifolds and sump. It is paired with the factory three-speed FMX automatic transmission and a nine-inch limited-slip differential, giving the car a drivetrain specification that suits both its period character and its status as a serious Australian muscle car.

The car underwent a nut-and-bolt, ground-up restoration in 2019 and has covered only 587 miles since that work was completed. The listing describes the body as retaining its original panels, with a high-quality Brambles Red finish and day-one identification numbers present on the radiator support, shock tower and engine. The compliance plate has also remained in place. The undercarriage is presented with factory-style overspray, new old-stock shock absorbers and factory-correct upper and lower ball joints and tie rods.

Inside, the black cabin preserves much of the original trim and instrumentation. The seats have been retrimmed and new carpets fitted, while the door cards, dashboard, instruments, steering wheel, crash pad and hood lining remain original according to the listing. Even the clock is reported to be working. Original glass is retained apart from the windscreen, and the rear window carries its original dealer sticker.

The vehicle’s documented specification is particularly notable. An ACCHS report identifies it as one of only 109 XW GT Falcons built with the same paint and trim combination, and one of 11 with the exact same build specification. With its matching-numbers mechanical package, carefully restored presentation and low distance since restoration, this XW GT offers a highly specific snapshot of Ford’s 1970 performance-sedan heritage.
