Summary

[edit]
Description

Jewel Green. The XA Falcon Sedan was built From March 1972- Sept 1973. (Hardtop from July 72) First Fully Australian Designed Falcon, the XA got a much softer and smoother, more aerodynamic body, covering only a mildly revised floor pan and mechanicals, inside a new wrap around style dash and high back front seats. Big news was the 2 door Hardtop was reintroduced. The GT, mechanically very similar to the XY GT, got functional bonnet scoops, fake air intakes on the front guards, bonnet blackouts and a black accent line that ran along the sills, over the guards and around the back of the car to include the rear lights. Wheels were back to the 12 slot. Only 4 GTHO Phase 4s were built, the programme only got going when the Supercar Scare hit, the Australian muscle car was getting too fast, the programme was dropped, To homologate some performance parts for Bathurst in 73, Ford quietly produced 250 XA GT Specials (option RPO 83), they got a manual choke, 780cfm holley and extractors. An XA GT Hardtop won the Hardie Ferodo 1000 in 1973 and 74. Engine; 351 Cleveland V8 77 Jewel Green GT Sedans made

Total of 1868 GT Sedans and GT 891 Hardtops made
