1970 Ford XW GTHO Phase 2 - Genuine Matching Numbers
The Ford Falcon GT-HO Phase 2 is one of the most revered names in Australian muscle car history, a machine born from Ford’s domination at Bathurst and engineered to be the fastest four-door sedan of its time. By 1970, the Phase 2 had cemented itself as the ultimate evolution of the XW Falcon, taking on Holden and Chrysler in one of the fiercest eras of local motorsport.
This example is a genuine matching-numbers XW GT-HO Phase 2, presented in factory Reef Green with contrasting black vinyl interior. An award-winning, fully restored car, it has had only two owners since new and is accompanied by its original logbooks, service records, and purchase receipts. Retaining its true period-correct presence, it sits proudly on the iconic Bathurst Globe wheels, a detail synonymous with Ford’s racing pedigree.
With just 90,015 miles showing, this Phase 2 has been meticulously restored inside and out to concours standard, ensuring it drives and presents exactly as Ford intended. Its rarity, provenance, and condition make it one of the most desirable collector Fords in the country.
The Phase 2 quickly earned its place in racing folklore when Allan Moffat piloted one to victory at the 1970 Hardie-Ferodo 500 at Bathurst, cementing its reputation as the fastest sedan in the country. Yet its raw, uncompromising nature also gave rise to legend — with no factory rev limiter, many privateers pushed the Cleveland V8 beyond 7,000rpm, leading to spectacular engine failures when the cars were driven on the ragged edge. This mix of dominant race-winning pedigree and high-stakes risk only added to the Phase 2’s mystique, making it one of the most talked-about muscle cars of its era.
