Ford Falcon GTHO Phase 4 test drive
Просмотров 38 тыс.15 лет назад
This is the all famous Gt-ho phase 4 only four ever made and only 3 are today still around, hope you like it.
When you have photos of a Phase 3 doing 143mph on the Hume Highway why wouldn't its successor be faster AND sold to the public ? I've never forgiven Evan Green.Phase 4 unsafe ? People these days are killing themselves in Jap-crap 4cylinders.Not the car ......the nut behind the wheel
What a knob interview
I don't understand how this Evan bloke who wrote the article that ruined everything- how does he not live in protection??? Shouldn't people STILL be throwing rocks at him?
'Prototype race car'????? Try standard XAGT. The older these cars get, the more BS gets added to their story. This is a word for word copy of a letter written by the original owner of this very car. Its from issue 8 of Australian Muscle Car: Muscle Mail page 37 ‘My name is Keith Lea. I managed the McLeod Ford smash shop from1970-1974. During this period I took the opportunity to purchase the Phase Four ‘’XA-3’’ now owned by Paul Carthew, through McLeod Ford and directly off Ford Special Vehicles(FSV). I was the first owner of this vehicle. To clear up a matter of conflict, when the car arrived at McLeod Ford from FSV, it had a roll cage, standard 12-slot wheels, aluminum sheeting in the boot and parcel tray, 36-gallon tank, finned drum rear brakes with a 9-inch diff, winged sump, Phase Three sway bar, heavy duty tailshaft and top loader (gearbox), which was of my opinion a close ratio. Other than that, it was an XAGT. The car as delivered from FSV was not a race vehicle. For that matter it was not a road vehicle. It needed to have the front grille, driving lights, chrome and indicators fitted. The entire car needed its bolted on panels fitted correctly. To race the car in the 1972 Hardie-Ferodo it would have needed serious sorting out. It was a very long way off being a factory race car. This car came off the assembly line in 1972. I believe (Paul Carthew) purchased the car recently?. A lot has happened in that period of time. It is not the same car that left FSV. Whatever has happened in the last 30 odd years I can’t be sure. Either way it is a special car, enjoy it’.
160mph off the showroom floor in that era is beyond impressive.In U.S.we had the 1970 Dodge Coronet Superbee that could do 146mph.Other than that I dont think we produced a factory car this fast available to the public.I love this Falcon and sounds beautiful when hammered down.
Lumpy 351 Cleveland power . GREAT engines those were . And still are .
I have to say that the article had no basis for that claim of being too fast for the road.... The fearmongering took precedence over common sense
I thought the BOWDEN BOYS WOULD have bought her ( to have the sister GT added to there collection would of been great)
Just sold to a undisclosed buyer in Sydney for a little under $ 2 million AU
There was one mock up built for WRIGHT FORD SYDNEY AUSTRALIA phaseIV unit no2 built by Burr & Daniel / Shelby macanics ??? 4th gear 98mile hr nilly 3000 rpm slam 3rd n it go like a bullet ratio diff ? 3.0 think or 2.75 gears big stretches dump in 2nd skate abit far n 3rd mmmm flat into 4th for over spin
It's power that's what it is
This car sold for 2 million $$$ at auction not that long ago, a real piece of Australian car history 👍.
It didn't sell, the deal fell through
@@jimmartin9704 it wasnt what it was hyped up to be.
@@daniellebcooper7160 Yes there's only 1 compliance plated GTHO phase 4 and its green, his were GTs that the works teams were working on
@@jimmartin9704 According to the original owner of the car in question, a Mr Keith Lea( who worked at McLeod Ford in Sydney), the car came with a roll cage, aluminum sheeting fitted to the parcel shelf, a winged sump, and 12 slot wheels, and was pretty much a standard XAGT. So when it left the ford team at lot 6, it was not like the current owner is stating. If you can find issue 8 of Australian Muscle car magazine, the full letter from Keith Lea is in there.
@@daniellebcooper7160 I can remember Reading an article on the three red falcons saying that when they got the word in early June to stop work all three were in different stages of competition Moffs was the most advanced and i thinks that's the one Bowden has Gibson's was the next and the last one was the spare , still only works GTs but not HoS
Beautiful car ..best ever looking Australian Falcon or any brand in my opinion...but too much yakkity yak and not enough on the car ..why no one dyno this car or a proper road test ?
The tyres are original so you wouldn't put too much stress on them. I guess they could have put different wheels on it for the day.
Real nice car great story, but picture and sound quality are not good in the video.
Zero thumbs down, that’s rare on YT, no explanation needed though. ✅
A year late and it still holds up
I’ve got the other 3 🤘😑🤘
R I P oran park
Wrong not one racing car had pizza cutters like he said, put the 225's / 245's on the back like the cobra behind it, they had grip full stop ?
400 hp yet it has stock leads, so why people go out to buy 8mm leads i dont know, when stock leads can carry just as much ohm and spark, sure the dizzy and coil pack would be better as a upgrade to get more hp, but its about selling cars before bathurst 500 to then race them over the weekend?
4 were made and the orignal photo shows all 4 of them in fords tech garage getting fitted out with various items and all had numbers on the side of them ?
How many Ford guys would love a lap in this . Holy Grail✊
I worked at a garage during the 80s that serviced and tuned the green one, it had a roll cage and the seats had cloth inserts that were white with racing stripes, that's all I remember about it other than the sound it made, 4d xa, it was very tall in the gears.
Bought tears to my eyes
