1997 FORD FALCON GT for sale

Price: POA
*** JULY 2025 CLASSIC CAR AUCTION ***

AUCTION CAR:
This example is EL GT build number 101, finished in Sparkling Burgundy metallic one of the most evocative hues offered for the model. Optioned from factory with the 5-speed manual transmission and the genuine Ford electric sunroof, this car is among the most collectable configurations built. Showing only 83,104 kilometres from new, this GT has clearly lived a cherished life and is believed to have had just three owners, with the majority of use by a regional country owner.

Supplied with its original leather-bound EL GT service book wallet, service books, and the official framed Ford EL GT wall poster gifted to first owners at delivery, this is a highly complete and authentic collector vehicle.


DRIVE-LINE:
Power comes from a 5.0-litre Windsor V8 featuring GT40 cylinder heads and sequential EFI, producing 200kW and 470Nm. Mated to the factory optioned T5 5-speed manual transmission, this combination offers the most engaging driving experience of the model. Recent mechanical work includes a brand-new clutch and a fresh service. The EL GT was equipped with a Hydratrak limited-slip differential and a Carbon Fibre tailshaft, upgraded GT specification suspension and unique Tickford-developed chassis tuning with factory 17-inch wheels, ensuring sharp handling and confident road manners a benchmark for local sedans at the time.


EXTERIOR:
This vehicle retains 100% original paintwork and all original body panels. As expected of unrestored original paint, stone chips are present consistent with its mileage and country car use. The Sparkling Burgundy finish still presents with depth and metallic lustre, and all EL GT-specific body kit components including the front and rear spoilers, side skirts, and bonnet vents remain intact and in excellent condition.


INTERIOR:
The dark grey leather interior remains in very good condition throughout, showing minimal wear and no noticeable marks or damage. The dashboard, instrument cluster, and switchgear present clean, crisp, and unblemished. All GT trim details including the numbered build plaque on the door trims, premium sound system and power accessories remain as delivered. The factory-optioned electric sunroof is functional with carpets, headlining, and trim plastics show only very light age consistent with a well-kept car. Overall, the cabin reflects the careful ownership history and low mileage of this special vehicle.


SUMMARY:
This 1997 Ford Falcon EL GT build number 101 is a rare and exceptionally original example of Ford Australias final GT of the era. Featuring the desirable factory manual transmission, genuine Ford sunroof, full original books in their leather GT wallet, and the dealer-framed GT wall poster, it represents a complete and investment-grade opportunity. With only 83,104 kilometres, original paint, full and recent servicing including a new clutch, this EL GT is ready for immediate enjoyment or to join a discerning collection.

A great chance to secure an Australian GT icon of the 1990s, at market price.
