Never seen that car at any shows or the track before. I know these cars have a strong following and a high value in Oz but I would be staggered if anyone in the UK would be interested in a 4 door car at anywhere near that price.

These are the holy grail in Oz, the extra guages and carb thru the bonnet dont make it attractive IMO.
They didnt do this shape in 2 door, first 2 door were the XA coupe.
I would guess its been here a long time judging by the number plate, possibly an Aussie diplomat car or similar back in the 70's.
If you want to know what these cars are about, just go and watch Bathurst racing from the 70s. Blinding stuff!
I'm sure Sandy will know loads about this as he is the man for Aussie Fords.

if its an XY Fairmont with HO spec interior is it Australian or Australian via south Africa?
the south African Fairmonts had the HO lights interior bits n bobs but none of the Bathurst spec running gear
ideal basis for a falcon HO Phase II or phase III clone
if you wanted a 2 door you need a rare US 68 or 69 falcon 2 door
and then the bits off a South african fairlmont to HO clone it
to build a aussie car that never was.
stock standard E49 charger still beat em in the 1/4 mile even if top speed was less.

That would be an XW GT then, Adam.Adam wrote:No, not a shaker Sandy. IIRC it did have a scoop sitting off centre on the hood.Sandy wrote:Adam, did the car at the Pod have a shaker scoop?
Only two real XY GT's came to the UK back in the day and neither were red.
Interesting. There as only one XW GT officially exported to the UK and it was an auto, and not red.
Any pics ?
