1967 ford falcon xr gt 4d sedan

The start of an Australian Legend
The 1967 Ford Falcon GT is a significant chapter in the evolution of Australian muscle cars. With its striking factory colour of GT Gold and dripping with chrome trim, this XR GT represents the start of the golden era of performance and style for Australian muscle cars.

This particular example is a stand out, 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. For enthusiasts and collectors alike, this car not only encapsulates the spirit of the late 1960's muscle car, but also stands as a testament to Ford Australia's plans for their "Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday" motorsport program.

Australia's Original Falcon GT
The 1967 Falcon GT holds the distinction of being Australia’s first Falcon GT V8. It marked the beginning of a legacy of high-performance Falcons that would go on to dominate both the streets and the racetracks around the country. This milestone car laid the foundation for future Falcon GT models, setting a new standard for Australian muscle cars.

Under the Hood: The 289 Windsor V8
At the heart of this 1967 Falcon GT is the original 289 cubic inch Windsor V8. This engine, renowned for its reliability and punchy power delivery, produces an impressive 225 horsepower. When paired with the 4-speed manual gearbox, it delivers a visceral 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.

GT Gold Paintwork: A True Showstopper
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 is in very good condition, with its lustrous finish highlighting the Falcon GT’s clean lines, aggressive stance, and iconic styling features, including the racing stripes that hint at the car’s muscle car DNA.

Interior: Original, Authentic, and Timeless
Step inside, and you are welcomed by the GT Dark Grey interior. Remarkably, this example is believed to still boast its original upholstery, which remains in fabulous condition. The cabin's attention to detail, from the classic bucket seats to the original dashboard gauges, evokes the craftsmanship and design ethos of the late 1960s. The feel of the steering wheel, the texture of the seats, and the unmistakable scent of vintage leather create an immersive experience for any classic car enthusiast. A true Grand Touring Car.

A Piece of Australian Motoring History
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 in such excellent condition is not just a pleasure; it's a privilege.

Conclusion
