1971 FORD FALCON XY for sale
Price: $249,990
Available for purchase is arguably one of the finest XY GT Falcon Tributes we have ever encountered. This stunning Vermilion Fire GT is currently being offered at our Sydney showroom.
Before embarking on the construction of his dream car, the owner set out to find an original XY Fairmont that was free from rust and had never been involved in any accidents. His dream materialised when a genuine logbook XY became accessible at Shannon's Auction in 2005. After acquiring it, the vehicle remained untouched until 2012 when restoration efforts began. The aim was to create an exceptional Vermilion Fire XY GT Replica featuring a Golde sunroof, BK Race engine complete with authentic Ford components while minimising reproduction parts.
The meticulous rotisserie bare metal restoration was executed by the renowned Panel Worx Group in Sydney, celebrated for their superior craftsmanship and attention to detail. The XY showcases impeccable gapping throughout, along with a detailed engine bay, boot, and undercarriage - all of which are evident in the accompanying photos.
Engine specification are as follows:

Tailshaft:
