1973 Ford XA Falcon GS – Matching Numbers
The XA Falcon marked a new design era for Ford in Australia, introducing a more modern, Coke-bottle-inspired body style that replaced the sharp lines of the XY. As the first Falcon series to be designed and manufactured entirely in Australia, it represented a major milestone for Ford. The GS variant offered sporty appeal with unique styling touches, making it a highly desirable model among collectors today.
This example, a 1973 Ford XA Falcon GS, is particularly special thanks to its matching numbers 351ci V8 engine paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. Presented in white, this coupe shows just 33 miles indicated on the odometer — believed to be since restoration — and has been in the hands of a private collector for the past 8 years. With its original book and key included, and having spent much of its life as a country car, it offers an exceptional level of originality and provenance.
The XA coupe is deeply tied to Australia’s muscle car heritage. It was the model that led to the legendary XA GT Hardtop, famously raced at Bathurst by Allan Moffat. With its broad stance, pillarless coupe lines, and the powerful 351 V8, this GS coupe captures the essence of the era. As values for XA–XC coupes continue to climb, this matching-numbers example presents as both an excellent investment and a thrilling collector’s car.
