Something about the past screams "Individualism" to me. Like back in the day the world somehow knew that people wanted things that reflected themselves in a way and options like wild colours and style for the EVERYDAY person, not just the super rich were available. Now, its like the world wants to remind you if you are NOT rich, you are more or less a cog in the machine who needs a regular A-B car to give you enough just to get you to work. I mean can you imagine, working at a factory, or farm or any kind of labouring job back in 1971 and at the end of the day, drive home in one of these? I know people may disagree. But I feel the world has done all it can to take the fun out of the every day man's life. Be it Lock outs at bars and pubs on Saturday night. Next to no city parking without paying high fees for it. Something about today just feels too bland. Am I wrong?
My uncle had one with factory 3.9 gears.He removed the rev limiter and put a set of slicks on and got a 13.4 on the quarter mile and he said he could have done better.Thats pretty fast!
This falcon gt has 2 side mirrors,, the falcon 351gt came with one side mirror only, replicas came with both. it's a replica 351 gt ho, not an original unfortunately, it's an original replica . However, still in very good condition
Yeah i noticed that too not removed and replaced with a lot of care especially the top rh rivet also see the gap there not the blind type of rivet but all in all a nice old HO " the biggest stick"
A message to all those XY GT HO Lovers, This Friday over in the good old USA at a place called Monterey, California Mecum held its annual Monterey Auction. On Friday California time Lot F144 crossed the block & sold, I urge you to google Mecum Auction Results for Monterey some great cars for sale. Here are the specifications for Lot F144. 1971 Ford Mustang Fastback Mach 1 with a Factory Number Matching 429 SCJ. Factory 4 speed with Factory T Handle Hurst Shifter. Factory 9 inch rear end with LSD 4.11:1 ratio Gold Judging Specifications Rebuilt 429 SCJ with Drag Pack Dyno 416 HP. 1 of 531 with 429 SCJ engine / Drag Pack Less than 100 miles since ground up restoration. Only 2 Drag Pack 1971 Mach 1 429 SCJ Mustangs had this color combination and only 1 to have Factory fitted Magnum 500 Wheels ( so 1 of 1 ) Full Marti report, Absolutely stunning looking Mustang highly recommend everyone to check it out. So how much for this beautiful Mustang, I hope you XY GT HO Phase 3 lovers are sitting down $52,250 USD that's right $52,250 USD. So if you had $100,000 Australian you can fly to California have a 2 weeks holiday live it up, buy & cruise you Big Block Mustang, load it up into a container, fly back home & await it arrival then go XY GT HO hunting all day everyday blowing any XY GT HO into the weeds whilst looking beautiful in a stunning 1971 Fastback Mustang. Secondly if you were to sell it you probably make a profit out of it here in Australia if not make your money back in USA without a doubt. For $600K you can buy say a 1970 or 1971 Plymouth or Dodge Pony Car either Challenger or Cuda with either a 426 Hemi or 440 Six Pack, 4 speed with a Dana 60 arse end & both these cars are desired all over the muscle car world & they never loose value, instant recognition & a hell of alot sexier & gorgeous than a XY GT or no GT. My point there is better buying atm out of USA than there has ever been everyoje off loading there muscle cars & there are some great bargains to be bought. You look at a XA GT RPO 83 Hardtop in my opinion the most beautiful Ford to be built in Australia, these Hardtop's should be head & shoulder over any XY GT HO alo day every day without a doubt, there is no comparison between an XA to an XY. Yet a XA Hardtop is fetching over $150K & that is justified in my opinion yet a 1971 Ford Torino GT with a 429 CJ with a 4 speed you can buy for $30K at Auction over in the states similar body style to the XA Hardtop but bigger. Still prefer the XA. I have a 1970 VG 770 Hardtop Hemi Valiant which after 3 years of painful restoration is about to be back on the road. I have been offered $60K once I finish it, but why should I sell it & let someone else enjoy my Valiant after all my hard work, yet I can sell it do over to the states buy a 1969 Dodge GTS with a 340 cubic with a 4 speed for $30K USD in excellent condition. Something to think about
Hi Louis i just had a look at that car very nice car for the money it was very cheap even drag pack 4sp hurst argent and blue metallic nice colour combo's even with our $$ at 70 cents US it's still a cheap muscle car i'm surprised that's all it went for .It definitely makes a gtho look ridiculously over priced for a 4 door car doesn't it also take a look at my channel and leave a comment on my old 73 there's 2 videos of it.. cheers Mick

The price is only high to those earning under 500k per year. If you're a multi millionaire business owner with an exotic car collection and cash to burn why not? Its a matter of perspective
@@luk3800 Hell, it wasn't too long ago that I saw an XD Falcon go for over 100,000 due to it being a "barn find". A bloody XD of all things. Prices for old cars are getting ludicrous. 40,000 - 50,000 for a CM Valiant...
Definitely not original, unfortunately the left hand door mirror is in the wrong spot. Now you’re gonna have to remove it, weld up the holes you drilled in the wrong spot, respray the top of the passenger door and put the bloody mirror in the right spot. FYI the left door mirror is placed further back ,than the mirror on the drivers door.
Rather a 1971 Mustsng Boss 351. Muscle cars should be 2 doors not 4 doors take this over to USA & put it on Mecum Auction House be lucky to get $ 40,000 USD. 1971 Boss 351 Mustang a way sexier looking car & a hell of alot cheaper & quicker than the flying brick XY

Yes genuine, very rare - THE BEST!
You know it's a Ford just by the sound of the door closing. We forget how the metal was back then. Cheers
Chris Bradbury he slammed hard enough 😂
Love, love, love it.
Basically the body of the 1966-1969 US Falcon.
It's a Creature 😈 of the Night 👍
I wish my 2013 Shelby GT500 held it's value like that.
3:35 ignore this, it's for my own personal use...
In the 80's a friend had the exact same car in Kambalda, Western Australia, 70mph in first gear, back then he sold it for $18000. Might be same gtho.
Absolutely beautiful. Nothing more need be said
My uncle had one with factory 3.9 gears.he did a 13.6 quarter mile with slicks.imagine removing the rev limiter.easy low 13
Mind blowing what there worth today who would ever think they would Fitch such high prices
Is that stock exhaust? Sounds tough
Nothing like a gt ho! What a car
They may not have been as quick, powerful or sought after as the HOs but I like the xc cobra
G'day. Lovely looking car. 🙂
Nice!
the SVO means Special Vehicle Operations
Does it do 100ks in 1st gear
If someone shut my phase3's bonnet like that i'd take their fucking hand... just saying. Beautiful specimen

Same colour as my wedding car was, but mine was a XY GS. Such a beautiful day that was. Now im divorced. 🫣
Is that a 4 speed manual. At first it looked like candy apple red
Have ya sold it yet?
Is it up for donation ?? Sounds crazy
$625,000.., nearly 100 times what they were new. ha
Back when proper motors sounded cranky.
Sweet as
What’s 625 price mean?
Doug McDonald
You know
$6.25. what do u think? 🤦♂️
Remove those poxy over riders and give that rear spoiler a 5° angle so it looks like an aero device and it’d be Spot On.
The rivets on the compliance plate 🤭
Good spot bro
