1972 FORD FALCON XA GT

Power and Driveline Strength:

At the core of this particular Falcon XA GT is the matching-number 351 4V ‘D Block’ Cleveland V8 engine.

Rebuilt to above Phase 4 specifications with its big 780 cfm four barrel Holley by Orger Engines, including upgraded additions of roller rockers, this powerhouse is said to produce well over the factory 300 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque.

Enhancements also include a baffled eared sump and Oil Cooler for superior lubrication, ensuring reliable performance even under demanding drives.

Paired with its factory 4-speed Top Loader manual and 9″ ‘Traction Lock’ Limited Slip Differential, this setup offers heavy duty power delivery, known to be rock solid.

With a lower weight than many modern cars, this cars performance is not diminished by its years.

Aggressive Exterior:

The classic Red Pepper paintwork immediately turns heads, further showcased by its black GT striping, NACA-style bonnet vents and front and rear spoilers all designed for touring car racing purposes.

These features are perfectly complemented by its factory-fitted Golde wind back sunroof – a highly sought-after feature.

This example underwent a bare-metal paint restoration in the mid-1990s, with it now showing various blemishes and imperfections upon close inspection.

The aggressive stance is further enhanced by performance Challenger alloys (15×8 all around), with original style Globe Wheels wheels also included.

The XA GT marked a departure from the admired box-like design of its predecessor, the XY model, with the XA’s curvaceous bodywork embodying Ford’s marketing tagline, “Born on the Wind.”

This sleeker, more aerodynamic silhouette was not just a visual upgrade but also contributed to improved performance and fuel efficiency… a wink to Bathurst pedigree.

Driver-Centric Interior:

Inside this XA GT’s cabin is as it should apart from a modern stereo fitted. The drivers seat shows some wear with seams requiring attention. The black vinyl GT interior is not only beautiful, it is also both comfortable and purposeful for performance or cruising.

The XA GT’s instrumentation cluster shows a full array of gauges including speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, water temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and volt meter, offering the driver complete control and awareness of the car’s performance metrics.

Handling and Dynamics:

The XA GT’s handling prowess is elevated by Koni shock absorbers, Selby anti-roll bars, providing a more balanced and responsive ride.

Power-assisted ventilated front disc brakes ensure confident stopping power, while finned rear brake drums enhance cooling and braking efficiency.

The performance-tuned suspension and the 9″ ‘Traction Lock’ Limited Slip Differential allow the car to tackle corners with poise while delivering excellent traction under hard acceleration.

Additionally, its long range fuel tank ensures extended driving range for long-distance journeys.

Historical Significance:

This XA GT boasts an impressive provenance, including a Ford verification letter outlining its factory numbers authenticity.
