The 1967 Falcon XR GT holds the prestigious title of being Australia’s first Falcon GT and first V8 of any type to win Bathurst!
It marked the beginning of high-performance Falcon GT’s that would go on to dominate both the streets and the racetracks around the country. This true milestone car laid the foundation for future Falcon GT models, setting a new standard for Australian muscle cars.
This particular example is the 372nd of 684 built, being powered by its K-Code 289ci Windsor V8 engine together with an L-Code 4-speed manual transmission and U-Code Dark Grey GT interior.
At the heart of this 1967 Falcon GT is the matching numbered 289 cubic inch Windsor V8. This engine, renowned for its reliability and punchy power delivery, producing an easy 225 horsepower. When paired with its 4-speed manual gearbox, it delivers a analogue driving experience that connects driver and machine. The throaty growl of the small-block V8, combined with a smooth shifting manual, ensures this Falcon GT delivers on the performance promises of its time.
Finished in the eye-catching GT Gold, this Falcon GT’s exterior gleams with an unmistakable presence. The GT Gold hue is synonymous with Ford’s high-performance offerings of the 1960s and was a signature color that cemented the GT’s image in automotive history. The paintwork has been resprayed 20 odd years ago and presents in very good condition. Its lustrous finish highlighting the Falcon GT’s clean lines, aggressive stance, and iconic styling features, including the side racing stripes that hint at the car’s muscle car DNA.
Step inside, and you are welcomed by the GT Dark Grey interior. Remarkably, this example is believed to still boast its original seating upholstery, which remains in fabulous condition. The cabin’s attention to detail, from the luxury bucket seats, Woodrim Steering wheel, Hurst style shifter with matching Gear knob to the classic Stewart-Warner gauges, evokes the craftsmanship and design ethos of a late 1960s sports car and this fantastic Aussie Grand Touring Car.
The 1967 Ford Falcon GT was pivotal in setting the foundation for future high-performance Australian sedans. As the precursor to the legendary GT-HO models that dominated the racetracks in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the ’67 Falcon GT laid down the blueprint for what would become a celebrated lineage of performance Fords. Owning an example that started it all in such excellent condition, is not just a pleasure; it’s a Australian treasure.
