1971 Ford Falcon XY GT Tribute Convertible
The Ford Falcon XY GT is one of the most celebrated muscle cars to ever wear the blue oval badge, and tribute builds allow enthusiasts to enjoy the look, sound, and presence of the GT without the sky-high price tag of a genuine example. This particular XY GT tribute goes one step further — it’s been engineered as a convertible, giving it a rare open-top configuration that Ford never offered from the factory.
Under the bonnet lies the legendary 351ci Cleveland V8 paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. Finished in classic white with GT stripes, it wears the iconic shaker bonnet with GT pins, 5-slot wheels, and correct GT badging. Inside, black basket weave trim with matching door cards gives it the proper period-correct GT look. With only 400 miles indicated since its build, it presents as a fresh and striking example.
The Falcon GT nameplate carries enormous cultural significance in Australia, dominating the Bathurst era of the 1970s and becoming an icon of local muscle car heritage. This tribute captures the spirit of the original while offering the added uniqueness of convertible motoring. Engineered in NSW and sold on current registration (though to be delivered unregistered), it represents both collectability and enjoyment for the next custodian.
