This identification guide has been written specifically for the Ford Falcon XR GT. The XR GT was the first of the Falcon GT’s, and represented the true beginning of the Australian muscle car era, and the beginning of Ford’s Bathurst success, post Cortina.
The XR GT is a highly desirable collector car, with values skyrocketing in recent years. As this car is based on the same body as a standard Falcon, it is important to understand what features are unique to a genuine XR GT in order to confirm the originality of a car you may be looking to purchase.
