1970 Ford Falcon XW GT Tribute
The XW Falcon GT is one of the most iconic shapes in Australian muscle car history, blending bold styling with the unmistakable presence of Ford’s performance era. Launched in 1969, the XW introduced a tougher, more aggressive look than its XR/XT predecessors, with quad headlights, squared-off panels, and signature GT striping. Today, genuine GTs are highly prized, but faithful tributes like this example deliver the same style and V8 muscle at a more accessible entry point.
This 1970 Ford Falcon XW GT Tribute is finished in factory-correct Polar White (Paint Code A), paired with sleek black GT-style trim. Under the bonnet, the original six-cylinder has been replaced with a period-correct 351ci V8, offering the deep rumble and performance that defined the GT legend. Power is delivered through a 4-speed manual Top Loader gearbox, upgraded from the original 3-speed column shift, ensuring an engaging, driver-focused experience. With 5-slot GT wheels, red wall tyres, and authentic GT badging, this tribute captures the look, feel, and stance of the original.
Tribute cars like this one are celebrated in the collector market for their blend of authenticity and usability. They allow enthusiasts to enjoy the spirit of the GT era without the price tag of a genuine example, while still offering the same thunderous V8 soundtrack and classic styling. The XW GT itself holds special cultural significance, being the foundation for Ford’s Bathurst dominance in the early 1970s and forever linked to Australia’s golden age of motorsport.
