1971 Ford XY Fairmont GT Tribute
1971 Ford XY Fairmont four-door sedan finished in Purple. Built as a GT Tribute from a genuine factory V8 XY Fairmont base. Rear-wheel drive powered by a 351 Cleveland V8 petrol engine paired with a Top Loader 4-speed manual transmission. 9-inch differential with 3.5 ratio gears. Odometer indicating 58,509 miles.
Description / Overview:
The XY Falcon GT is one of the great icons of Australian motoring, and this Fairmont-based tribute hits all the right notes for a driver build. Purple with the correct twin GT side stripes, shaker bonnet scoop, driving lights, Convo Pro-style wheels, and full GT badging throughout, it presents as a properly executed street machine rather than a half-hearted dress-up job. Queensland engineered in 2018 by Graham Baker, it is road-legal and ready to use.
Under the bonnet sits a 351 Cleveland V8 backed by a Top Loader 4-speed manual and a 9-inch differential with 3.5 gears, which is a proper performance spec regardless of what badge is on the boot. Auto Meter gauges on the console monitor temperature and oil pressure, and the shift light and three-pedal setup make it clear this one is built to be driven hard. The undercarriage presents very well with clean floor pans, fresh underseal, and a dual exhaust system.
The interior is tidy with good door cards and carpet throughout. Sheepskin covers are fitted over the seats. The factory compliance plate confirms an October 1971 build from Broadmeadows as a Fairmont sedan, which is exactly what is described. Inspection is recommended to verify all specifications and modifications. Contact Jason on 0447 827 970 to arrange a walkthrough.
