1967 FORD FALCON XR 500
MODEL OVERVIEW:
The 1967 Ford Falcon XR marked a pivotal evolution in Ford Australia’s transition from utilitarian family sedan to genuine performance contender, introducing a sharper, more muscular design along with significant engineering improvements across the range. Built on a strengthened platform with revised suspension geometry, the XR delivered improved ride and handling, while offering a broader engine lineup that culminated in the now-legendary XR GT, powered by a 289 cubic-inch Windsor V8. This model cemented Ford’s performance credentials on the national stage, most notably through its dominant victory at the 1967 Bathurst 500, where drivers Harry Firth and Fred Gibson piloted an XR Falcon GT to first place and into Australian cultural history.

A classic Australian favourite with understated looks and serious performance, this 1967 Ford Falcon XR 500 delivers the best of both worlds — timeless styling and upgraded V8 power.
Powered by a 351ci Cleveland V8, this XR offers strong, reliable performance with the unmistakable sound and torque of Ford’s legendary V8. The engine is paired with a C4 automatic transmission, delivering smooth, usable drivability.
Power is fed through a Ford 9-inch rear end fitted with Truetrac limited-slip differential and 31-spline axles, ensuring strength and traction to match the upgraded performance.
Further enhancements include electronic ignition and modern air conditioning, making this a far more comfortable and reliable classic for regular use.
Finished in factory ‘Code 0’ Sage Gold, the body presents straight and highly presentable, with paintwork completed approximately 30 years ago now showing various age-related blemishes. Chrome and trim are in excellent condition throughout, highlighting the XR’s iconic styling — from its bold chrome grille to its distinctive tail light design.
The car rides on 5-slot wheels with GT trims, with a set of optional XR Fairmont hubcaps included, offering flexibility in presentation.
Inside, the cabin is very well presented, with dash and instrumentation in remarkable condition, maintaining a clean, original-style interior. Tailored lambswool seat covers add to the very Australian styling.
A tough, well-sorted XR Falcon with genuine sleeper appeal — classic looks with plenty of go to match.
