FORD FALCON XA GT
The XA Falcon saw the return of a two-door hardtop which allowed the new XA GT to appear in two-and four-door body styles for the first time.
The XA GT continued the race-winning tradition set by the earlier models culminating in the Moffat/Geoghegan Bathurst victory in 1973 followed by the 1974 Goss/Bartlett win in pouring rain making the XA GT the single most successful GT at Bathurst. Almost one third of the XA GT models were hardtops out of a total of 2,759 units sold.
Three prototypes (all supplied to race and rally teams) and one actual production model of the Phase IV were built. Legends, lies and rumors of these four cars persist to this day but they are the most collectible of all GTs. The XA GT was also available with Regular Production Option 83 - essentially a homologation special of Phase IV parts for the 1973 race campaign.
