1971 Ford XY Falcon 500 (GT Tribute)
An eye-catching Australian muscle sedan finished in Vermillion Fire, presented as a highly developed XY GT Tribute with an indicated 6,722 miles. This example blends classic XY Falcon styling with serious modern performance upgrades, making it a standout street or show car.
Under the bonnet sits a freshly built 5.8-litre V8 producing an impressive 550 horsepower at the wheels, paired with an automatic transmission and C4 gearbox. With less than 3,000 km on the new engine build, this Falcon delivers brutal performance supported by T-Rex cylinder heads, a hydraulic roller cam setup, 4,200-rpm stall converter, ceramic-coated exhaust components, exhaust valve switch, and a strong 9-inch rear differential. The interior has also been refreshed, completing the package as a well-rounded performance tribute.
Ford XY Falcon Model History
Introduced in 1970, the XY Falcon is widely regarded as one of the most iconic models produced by Ford Australia. Best known for the legendary GT and GT-HO variants, the XY series dominated Australian touring car racing and became a cornerstone of local muscle car culture. The Falcon 500 formed the backbone of the range, offering strong V8 performance potential in a more understated sedan package. Today, XY Falcons—particularly GT tributes—are highly sought after for their unmistakable styling, motorsport heritage, and ability to deliver classic Australian V8 performance with modern enhancements.
