1969 FORD FAIRMONT XT
SOLD: $66,000 ( 100% to Vendor ) + Buyer's Premium 8.8%
MODEL OVERVIEW:
Introduced in 1968, the Ford XT Fairmont represented the more refined and upmarket expression of the Falcon range, aimed at buyers seeking added comfort, style and prestige without stepping into a full luxury car. Building on the mechanical advances of the XT series, the Fairmont benefited from improved safety features such as dual-circuit brakes and a collapsible steering column, along with smoother suspension tuning for quieter, more composed road manners. Visually, it was distinguished by unique chrome trim exterior brightwork, revised grille detailing and subtle badging, while the interior featured upgraded trim, improved instrumentation and higher-grade materials that elevated it above the standard Falcon.

AUCTION CAR:
This 1969 Ford Fairmont XT is a strong, well-executed performance build that combines classic Falcon styling with serious Windsor V8 power and upgraded running gear. Finished in Zircon Green over a Parchment interior, this XT presents as a solid, purposeful Australian muscle sedan, enhanced throughout for drivability and performance while retaining a cohesive period look.
DRIVE - LINE:
Under the bonnet sits a professionally built 408ci Windsor stroker V8, fitted with Edelbrock alloy cylinder heads, delivering substantial torque and strong all-round performance. The engine is backed by a heavy-duty C10 automatic transmission with a 3500rpm stall converter, transmitting power to a shortened Ford 9-inch limited-slip differential. Along with power steering, this proven drivetrain combination delivers reliable street performance with the capability to handle the engine’s output comfortably.
EXTERIOR:
The exterior is finished in Zircon Green, with paintwork now approximately 25 years old. The car presents as a straight and honest example with good overall body alignment, though various blemishes and areas of bubbling are evident upon closer inspection, consistent with the age of the finish. The Fairmont sits with an assertive stance on Convo Pro wheels, measuring 7 inches at the front and 10 inches at the rear, fitted with 265-section rear tyres that reinforce the car’s performance intent without compromising its classic appearance.
INTERIOR:
Inside, the Fairmont features a full Parchment interior retrim completed approximately four years ago, presenting in clean, well-kept condition. Enhancing the cabin is a desirable XT GT dashboard and GT steering wheel, lifting the interior specification and providing the correct GT look and feel while remaining sympathetic to the car’s era.
SUMMARY:
A solid and well-specified XT Fairmont, this 1969 example delivers classic Falcon style backed by a professionally built 408ci Windsor stroker and a strong driveline package. With its tasteful colour combination, upgraded interior, aggressive stance and proven mechanical specification, this is a capable and visually appealing Australian performance sedan—ideal for enthusiasts seeking a powerful, usable classic rather than a standard factory example.
Note: Drivers side bonnet hinge will require replacement for better bonnet alignment.
