Red Pepper 1973 Ford Falcon XA GT listed for sale with AMCS

During its time, the XA Falcon garnered recognition as the first all Australian designed Falcon and marked a significant milestone for Ford in Australia. It was the first Falcon GT model to offer both a 4-door sedan and a hardtop variant. Building on the triumph of the GTHO's at Bathurst in '70 and '71, the XA continued its winning streak at Mt Panorama, securing victories in '73 and '74. These were truly exceptional years for the XA Falcon.
For the first time, Ford took on the task of designing cars entirely in-house. The designers departed from the previous XR through XY range's subtle brick-like appearance and embraced a more aerodynamic and flowing "Coke bottle" body design. Inside the vehicles, a new wrap-around cockpit-style dash and high-backed bucket seats were among the notable features.

The GT models received distinctive NASA-inspired air scoops on the bonnet, captivating black-out highlights, driving lights integrated into the grille, and unique vertical vents on the front guards. The Super Roo stripes and the exclusive "XY only" bonnet shaker were no longer present, as the new GT showcased a more sophisticated and streamlined appearance.
Australian Muscle Car Sales presents an exceptional offering for sale—an all numbers matching Red Pepper manual XA GT. This extraordinary vehicle comes complete with its original books and boasts a unique one of one build combination with the 8-track radio tape player and retractable seat belt options, according to the the enclosed ACCHS Report.
Delivered new from Cannon Ford of Armidale, NSW, this car presents itself in superb condition, a testament to its careful ownership and preservation throughout the years. The current fastidious owner has cherished this vehicle for the past 5 years, ensuring its continued excellence.
This August '73 built GT proudly retains its all numbers matching status. This includes the original square block 351 4V Cleveland V8 engine, 4-speed Top Loader manual gearbox, and 9" differential. Remarkably, all these components are in excellent working order and condition.
The car has been professionally resprayed (external only) and retains much original paint and patina inside the doors, boot area, and the car's underside. The under-bonnet area shows a high level of attention to correct detail and combined with the superb body and interior has helped the car to win trophies for presentation at the last two Sydney All Ford Days.
The car is adorned with mint 15 x 7 Bathurst Globes wheels, with 215/65/15 redwall tires, and comes complete with a fitted car cover.
