This 1971 Ford Falcon XY GTHO Replica is a well-executed, mechanically sound tribute finished in iconic GTHO styling and powered by a 351ci Cleveland V8 with a four-speed Top Loader manual gearbox and a nine-inch differential. The odometer currently shows 56,333 miles.* The XY GTHO Phase III is widely regarded as the pinnacle of Ford’s muscle car era in Australia. With genuine examples commanding high six- and seven-figure sums, well-built replicas like this offer an opportunity to enjoy the performance and character of the original without compromising drivability or value. This car has been in the hands of its current owner for the past five years, during which time it has been mechanically maintained entirely by the owner, a qualified mechanic. The vehicle has had several important mechanical updates completed in the last 500 miles, including a new 650cfm 4-barrel carburettor, reconditioned Scorcher ignition distributor, new spark plugs, and ignition leads. The car starts, runs, and drives strongly with no known mechanical faults. Power comes from a 351ci Cleveland V8 mated to a four-speed Top Loader manual and a 9-inch rear differential. It is fitted with headers and a 2.5-inch twin exhaust system, which delivers a deep, aggressive note in line with its visual presence. The car rides on period-style Convo Pro wheels and features an Auto Meter tachometer with shift light inside the cabin. Cosmetically, the car presents well, though the exterior does have some humidity blisters in the paintwork, as documented in the listing photographs. These were present when the current owner purchased the car, and according to the previous owner, the blisters developed shortly after the car was painted over a decade ago — most likely due to poor prep work. The seller notes that the affected areas have not changed or worsened in the five years of ownership. The interior is functional but would benefit from a cosmetic freshen-up, with condition visible in the images provided. Early in the current ownership, the parcel shelf was repaired back to factory style after having aftermarket speaker cutouts removed. Child seat anchor points were professionally added at the same time. While that work was completed, a comprehensive inspection of the body was undertaken. This included repairs to the torque boxes, upper plenums, and a full undercarriage repaint, resulting in a car that is now structurally very sound. This GTHO Replica offers the stance, soundtrack, and performance of the original with the usability and confidence that comes from a mechanically refreshed and structurally reinforced build. It is well suited to club events, weekend drives, and blue oval enthusiasts looking for a usable tribute without compromise.
