1969 FORD FALCON 500 XW

AUCTION CAR

This 1969 Ford Falcon 500 XW represents a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally preserved, one-owner Australian sedan, retained by its original custodian from new and supported by outstanding documentation. Showing just 50,329 miles, this XW is accompanied by its original books, manuals, and a comprehensive service history, with receipts documenting consistent maintenance from new through to today. The car also retains its original Victorian registration number KJZ971, transferable to a Victorian buyer — an increasingly uncommon and highly desirable attribute.

DRIVE-LINE

Under the bonnet sits the factory-fitted 221 cubic inch high-compression inline six-cylinder engine, paired with the original three-speed column-shift manual transmission. The drivetrain remains matching numbers and unmodified, delivering the smooth, dependable performance for which the XW Falcon was renowned. Mechanical condition reflects careful long-term ownership and regular servicing rather than restoration or alteration.

EXTERIOR

Finished in its original Starlight Blue duco, the exterior remains untouched, with no repainting or touch-ups carried out. The paint presents with honest, well-preserved patina consistent with age and mileage, clearly reflecting the car’s originality and lifelong care. Panel fit and trim remain factory-correct, with minor bumps and blemishes evident, as expected of an unrestored vehicle. No panel has ever been removed or replaced.

INTERIOR

The interior is trimmed in the original factory two-tone blue upholstery and remains remarkably intact. Seats, door trims, dashboard, and controls show light, sympathetic wear consistent with the recorded mileage. Importantly, the cabin has not been retrimmed or modernised, preserving the authentic look, materials, and atmosphere of a late-1960s Australian Falcon.

SUMMARY

A genuine one-owner, low-mileage XW Falcon 500 with full books, comprehensive service history, matching numbers, and transferable original Victorian registration, this car stands as a benchmark example of originality. Unrestored, unmodified, and carefully preserved, it offers collectors a rare opportunity to acquire an honest, documented Australian classic exactly as it left the showroom — an ideal reference car, collection cornerstone, or long-term keeper.

The retention of its original Victorian number plates further reinforces the car’s unbroken provenance.
