1971 Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase III tipped to sell for high price
An Electric Blue Ford Falcon is the latest GTHO Phase III to head to auction, with bidding already surpassing the quarter-million-dollar mark.
One of just 300 Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase IIIs is being auctioned, and the famous sedan is tipped to change hands for a considerable sum.
Listed by the Australian division of UK auction house Collecting Cars, this ‘Electric Blue’ is reportedly the 170th of the 300 Falcon XY GTHO Phase IIIs built by Ford, rolling off the Broadmeadows production line in July 1971.
In October of that same year, the GTHO Phase III made headlines after it became the world’s fastest four-door production car – reaching 228km/h, as tested by Wheels magazine – and for winning the Bathurst 500-mile race (the precursor to the Bathurst 1000) at the hands of Ford hero Allan Moffat.
