Muscle Car Warehouse are now offering for sale this stunning 1970 ZD Fairlane K code. With its striking factory Track Red colour and Ultra White roof, together with the beautiful white vinyl interior this car is a one of a kind and bound to turn heads wherever it goes. It is believed as little as 16 ZD Fairlane’s were made in Track Red. The paintwork is in terrific condition and so too are all the mouldings and chrome work. The car has been treated to a set of five slot wheels and freshly red walled tyres. The adjusted ride height also suits the long lines of the Fairlane perfectly. The trim in the Fairlane is all to factory specifications with rare options such as integrated air conditioning and an original 8 track radio tape player. While the original air conditioning is not operational a much more functional under dash unit has been added. There Is also the addition of extra gauges to monitor the healthy 351 lurking under the hood. The pearl painted steering wheel is a tasteful touch and adds that hot rod feel to the car but remains quite subtle. Under the bonnet is a healthy 351 Cleveland motor once again with tasteful dress ups such as alloy rocker covers, purposeful aftermarket air cleaner and an alloy radiator. Teaming up with the engine is an FMX auto with a 4000 convertor and lastly the original 9” diff with a Detroit Locker centre. When rebuilt the driveline had upwards of $30,000 spent on it. The restoration was completed approximately 14 years ago and has its current condition is testament to all the work that was done. This Fairlane is a fantastic mix of luxury and loudness and is super practical and can be driven anywhere comfortably. Now available by appointment only at our Kogarah facility.
The XR series was introduced in September 1966. The XR series was initially offered in nine different models: Falcon, Falcon 500, and Fairmont sedans, Falcon, Falcon 500, and Fairmont wagons, Falcon and Falcon 500 utilities, and the Falcon Van. The new wagons shared the 111-inch (2,800 mm) wheelbase with the XR sedans, unlike the 1966 US Falcon wagons which featured a 115-inch (2,900 mm) wheelbase. The Falcon 500 replaced the Falcon Deluxe of the XP series[2] and the two-door hardtop body style available in the XP series was not offered in the XR range in Australia. The marketing focus on the Falcon’s relationship with the Mustang’s sporty appeal led to Ford introducing a Falcon GT variant of the XR in 1967, featuring a 225 bhp version of the 289 cubic inch Windsor V8 engine, sourced from the Ford Mustang. The GT heralded the dawn of the Aussie muscle car. All the original XR GTs were painted in the colour GT Gold, except for eight that were Gallaher Silver and another five that were Russet Bronze, Sultan Maroon, Polar White, Avis White, and Ivy Green.
Muscle Car Warehouse are excited to now offer for sale this 1967 Ford Falcon XR GT. The car that started the muscle car craze in Australia back in 1967. Believed to be one of only 596 examples made by Ford Australia and rarely offered for sale. This example was built in August of 1967 and with some minor repairs and maintenance would make a nice weekend cruiser or if you chose to, restore, and add to your collection. This XR GT appears to have had a full in and out respray in its original GT Gold colour at some stage of its life and is now showing signs of aging. Original Gt badges and hubcaps are still retained on the vehicle. While also displaying signs of wear and tear the interior in this car appears to have never been redone and is all original including the gear shifter with lock out reverse function, original steering wheel, dash, and gauges too. The 289 V8 Windsor engine runs well but has been replaced and is not the original matching number item. The four-speed manual transmission and diff are original also. New South Wales issued “XR GT” number plates included with the car. Also still with the car is the original identification plate. Now available for inspection by appointment at our Kogarah facility.
