1970 Ford Falcon XY GT
The XY GT Fords have become an enduring symbol of Australian performance motoring — dominating both the street and the racetrack throughout the 1970s. Whether it was at the lights or on the track, the GTs and GTHOs were the cars to beat, and today they remain among the most sought-after collector cars in the country.
This example is a genuine and ICAARS-verified XY GT, finished in Yellow Ochre with Dark Saddle interior. It runs a period-correct 351ci Cleveland V8 engine paired with its original 4-speed manual gearbox and differential, maintaining the authentic GT driving experience that defined the era.
Being one of the most iconic Australian cars ever produced, the XY GT represents an outstanding addition to any collection or enthusiast’s garage — a true piece of Australian motoring heritage with values that continue to rise.
Ford Falcon XY GT History
Released in 1970 by Ford Australia, the XY GT was the fourth in the original Falcon GT series and quickly cemented its reputation as one of the most formidable performance sedans of its time. Based on the Ford Falcon XY platform, it shared its 351 Cleveland V8 engine with the XW GT and GT-HO Phase II, officially rated at 300 horsepower but reputed to produce over 350 horsepower.
With the rev limiter disabled, the XY GT was capable of reaching speeds up to 252 km/h and could exceed 7,000 rpm (at high risk of engine failure) in fourth gear. Its engineering included front independent ball-joint suspension with coil springs, shock absorbers, wishbones, and anti-roll bar — utilising a three-pin ball joint design unique to the GTs and GTHOs of the period.
