This 1970 Ford Falcon XW GT HO Phase 2 Tribute is a purpose-built performance car that captures the look, stance and attitude of Ford Australias classic GT racers, while benefiting from carefully considered mechanical upgrades throughout. Finished in stunning Track Red, this XW presents as an aggressive, well-sorted GT-style build that delivers genuine performance to match its visual impact. Even Ford Australias Managing Directorand widely regarded father of the Falcon GTBill Bourke personalised his own XW GT with performance modifications and shaker hood scoop, underscoring that these cars were often enhanced beyond factory specification even when new.

DRIVE-LINE
At the heart of this XW sits a very strong 351 Cleveland V8, equipped with CHI 3V alloy cylinder heads and a high-rise intake manifold, delivering serious power and strong mid-to-top-end performance. Fuel delivery has been upgraded with a Holley Blue electric fuel pump and filter, complemented by enlarged fuel lines and a tailshaft safety loop for added security under hard use.
The engine is backed by a Toploader four-speed manual gearbox, transmitting power through a Ford 9-inch limited-slip differential, creating a robust and proven driveline package well suited to spirited road use or track work. All mechanical and suspension items are well thought out HD items, for the performance minded driver.

EXTERIOR
The exterior is finished in eye-catching Track Red, presenting with excellent depth and gloss and giving the car unmistakable GT style. The stance is spot-on, aided by well sorted suspension and KMAC suspension adjusters, while classic five-slot wheels complete the period-correct performance look. The overall presentation delivers the unmistakable visual punch expected of a GT inspired XW. To finish off the looks and performance is a shaker standing proud out of the bonnet.

INTERIOR
Inside, the car features a full GT-spec interior presented in high-level condition, maintaining the correct GT appearance throughout. The only departure from factory presentation is the fitment of Autometer speedometer and tachometer with integrated shift light, reinforcing the cars performance focus while remaining sympathetic to its motorsport-inspired character.

SUMMARY
