DRIVELINE

Under the bonnet sits an era-correct 1974 351ci Cleveland V8, paired to a strong FMX automatic transmission, sending power to a 9-inch differential fitted with a Trutrac LSD.

Power steering is fitted for improved drivability, while cooling is handled by a large GT-style radiator, ensuring the big Cleveland V8 remains composed even in Australia's toughest conditions.

The engine bay is beautifully presented with correct GT-inspired detailing, giving a highly authentic appearance.

Further enhancing its performance, the suspension has been renewed, including the fitment of a large front sway bar and Koni shock absorbers. These upgrades deliver both a planted GT-style stance and improved road handling characteristics.

EXTERIOR

This Tribute features a full XA GT-style front end, including a correct GT bonnet with twin NACA ducts, GT guards with integrated indicator repeaters, GT grille, genuine GT driving lights, and a GT front spoiler — creating an aggressive and unmistakably GT look.

The body is finished in beautiful Red Pepper paint with gloss black GT striping, for a properly shining finish.

Rolling on Street Pro wheels, the ute has an ideal street muscle stance.

Built using a corrosion-free, well-preserved non work vehicle, country car as its foundation, the utility tub itself is in outstanding condition.

The wheel arches and surfaces remain remarkably clean and undented, speaking to the quality of the base car chosen for this build.

INTERIOR

Inside, the presentation continues with a neatly restored cabin finished in factory-style W2-code White vinyl with Black inserts.

The seats, door cards, and trim present very well, complemented by a perforated white roof lining that adds to the authentic GT-inspired atmosphere.

The interior reflects the same attention to detail applied throughout the rest of the build, offering both comfort and classic appeal.

SUMMARY

This 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT Tribute Ute is a fantastic opportunity to secure a beautifully built, high-quality Aussie muscle ute.

With the right looks, the right driveline, a beautifully detailed finish and an outstanding corrosion-free foundation, this Tribute is ready to turn heads at any car show or weekend cruise.
